'Single's Inferno 4' Star Kook Dong-hyun Denies School Violence Claims, Agency Threatens Legal Action

Kook Dong-hyun, a participant on the popular Netflix dating show 'Single's Inferno 4' and a practicing accountant, has vehemently denied accusations of school violence that have recently surfaced. In a statement released via Instagram, Kook addressed the allegations, asserting that they are entirely unfounded and that he has no connection to the purported incidents. The claims, which emerged from a user identifying as a lawyer for victims of school violence, alleged that Kook was involved in or complicit with bullying activities during his school years.

“

It is not based on any facts. I have no connection to it.

Specifically, the accuser detailed acts such as hitting someone with a badminton racket, placing thumbtacks on a chair, and gluing a locker, attributing these actions to Kook's influence or participation. Kook has refuted these claims, denying any romantic relationship with the woman mentioned by the accuser and questioning the very existence of such a person. He also dismissed the narrative that he confessed his feelings to the accuser in front of multiple people during his teenage years, calling it factually incorrect and a pre-determined conclusion based on the assumption that he wouldn't remember the alleged events.

I have never participated in or abetted acts such as hitting someone on the head with a badminton racket, placing thumbtacks on a chair, or gluing a locker.

Kook's agency, Mood, has backed his denial, announcing their intention to pursue legal action against the accuser. They stated that their internal investigation confirmed Kook's non-involvement in any violent acts or 'abuse of power' during his school days. The agency emphasized that Kook underwent a rigorous background check before appearing on 'Single's Inferno 4.' Mood plans to take strict legal measures, both civil and criminal, against the dissemination of false information, personal attacks, and malicious slander, without any settlement or leniency. This strong stance aims to protect Kook's reputation and professional standing as an accountant, which the accuser also attempted to undermine by suggesting he had quit his profession to become an influencer.

I have never dated the woman mentioned by the netizen, and I doubt such a person even exists.
