Kim Hieora’s company has issued a proper response to Dispatch’s new report alleging that the actress was a perpetrator of faculty violence, together with bodily assault.
On September 9, Dispatch printed a prolonged new three-part report about Kim Hieora, together with a transcript of a cellphone name (which will be discovered beneath) between the actress and an alleged sufferer who claims to have been laid low with her throughout their center faculty days.

Along with claiming that Kim Hieora repeatedly “tormented” her specifically, “H” particularly remembers at one level, “That day, you hit ‘F’ till her nostril bled, proper?”
This wasn’t Dispatch’s first report about Kim Hieora: again on September 6, Dispatch printed an preliminary report relating to accusations by Kim Hieora’s former classmates that the actress was a part of an iljin (faculty bullying) group in center faculty. This primary report claimed that the group, named Large Sangji, was infamous for extortion, assault, verbal abuse, and extra. Based on the report, Kim Hieora gave an interview to Dispatch during which she apologized and admitted to having been a bystander to Large Sangji’s actions, although she claimed that she had by no means hit a buddy or a youthful pupil. On the time, nevertheless, Kim Hieora’s company firmly denied the allegations made within the report. The company said that Kim Hieora had by no means participated in or admitted to taking part in iljin actions or faculty violence, claiming that Large Sangji was not an iljin gathering.
Then, on September 9, Dispatch printed a brand new follow-up report that refuted the claims by Kim Hieora’s company—and which now included allegations of bodily assault.
Based on the brand new report, again in Could, after listening to that somebody had reached out to Dispatch about her alleged faculty violence, Kim Hieora tried to trace down and phone at the least eight folks she knew throughout center faculty so as to cease them from coming ahead with their tales.

Whereas Kim Hieora was in a position to meet and apologize in particular person to seven of the eight folks she contacted—“A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “E,” “F,” and “G”—she was unable to persuade “H” to satisfy together with her. (Considered one of these seven conferences was a hit: after Kim Hieora met with “A,” the preliminary informant who contacted Dispatch with allegations of faculty violence, “A” stated that they had resolved their misunderstandings and instructed Dispatch to not publish the proof she had given them in opposition to Kim Hieora.)
In the meantime, Dispatch reported that three further informants—“I,” “J,” and “Ok”—have since reached out to them to share their very own tales. Referring to Kim Hieora’s look within the hit drama “The Glory,” which tackles the topic of faculty violence, “Ok” remarked, “I nonetheless can’t overlook Kim Hieora’s cursing. I needed to hear that very same cursing once more within the drama.”
Lastly, Dispatch launched a transcript of a part of a cellphone name between Kim Hieora and “H” during which Kim Hieora repeatedly apologizes to “H” and asks her to satisfy in particular person, saying that she is “pondering of self-reflecting.” In the meantime, “H” makes it clear she has no intention of accepting the actress’s apology and repeatedly accuses her of faculty violence and assault.
Later that day, Kim Hieora’s company responded to those allegations with a brand new assertion of its personal. The company claimed that what had taken place between the actress and “H” was “an especially private matter” and that it was not “repeated bullying or assault.”
“The incident between Kim Hieora and ‘H’ is an especially private matter, and our company doesn’t admit to or agree with the claims made by ‘H,’” said Gram Leisure. “As talked about within the cellphone name, ‘H’ and Kim Hieora was associates. Nevertheless, Kim Hieora repeatedly suffered injury as a result of H’s habits, and due to this, the 2 grew aside and wound up combating. We’re informing you that it was not repeated bullying or assault, as H claims.”
“By way of the iljin exercise and faculty violence talked about within the unique report, it was not repeated or steady,” continued Gram Leisure, “and our company wonders whether or not fights as a result of misunderstandings between associates is included. Simply as we stated in our first assertion, we plan to fastidiously resolve every one of many misunderstandings talked about on this controversy and by the publication that reported it.”
Gram Leisure additionally said that Dispatch’s transcript of the cellphone name had omitted sure components of the dialog, and it due to this fact launched its personal partial transcript of the identical name. Though the 2 transcripts overlap in some areas, they differ barely in others, and a few components of the dialog are solely included in both Dispatch’s transcript or in Gram Leisure’s transcript.
