On the 19th, the agency of Kwak Tube, SM C&C, said "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the issue of Kwak Jun-bin, an artist of the company. Separately, we would like to clarify the facts as follows in response to an article pointing out the authenticity of school violence currently mentioned online.
Earlier, netizen A, who claims to be Kwak Tube's middle school classmate, said, `I think Kwak Tube is at least responsible for school violence in middle school"I remember my friend carrying a (Nintendo) DS at school, and he got caught because things got big after stealing it."
Mr. A then said "I never saw that Kwak Tube did a bread shuttle, nor did I think so. However, I have seen compass or eraser powder. But I don't think this is severe school violence. Throwing the eraser powder in a lump was often attacked even before Kwak Tube was found to have stolen it, and it was originally a joke that children played a lot," he added.
Finally, "I really don't understand why you're packaging yourself as a victim of harsh school violence on broadcasts, etc. He emphasized, "Stop threatening children by distorting his past and exaggerating it..." and disclosed some of Kwak's phone numbers, sparking controversy.
Accordingly, the agency said "It was in high school when Kwak Tube dropped out due to school violence. It is not an issue in which the author graduated from another high school can comment on school violence suffered by Kwak Tube.
In addition, the criticism and teasing of Kwak Tube's family life continued since middle school""It was difficult to honestly say my hard feelings even though I was teased during my school days, and it was also true that the ranking structure created in the name of prank made me feel more intimidated in school life.""
Then "It may be just a mischievous joke to someone, but the author's idea that it is a play culture between friends and not violence can be a secondary offense in the same context.", he pointed out.
Regarding the game console that Kwak Tube stole, he also disclosed the news of the year when the actual game console was released, saying, `The claim that the Nintendo DS was stolen in the second year of middle school is false.'
He also said, `I hope you will refrain from making malicious attacks whose relationship is not clear, as well as indiscriminate criticism of the association system that leads to acquaintances around you.'
Finally, the agency warned that "Strict measures will be taken against creators and distributors of false facts and malicious rumors without any preferential treatment to prevent the same from repeating in the future."
▶ Next, Kwak Junbin's agency's position
Hello, I'm Kwak Junbin's agency, SM C&C.
First of all, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the issue of our artist Kwak Jun-bin.
Apart from this, we would like to clarify the following facts about the article pointing out the authenticity of school violence currently mentioned online.
1. According to the author's claim, he was in the first and second grades of middle school when he was in the same class with Kwak Jun-bin. Kwak Jun-bin said he dropped out in high school because he was having a hard time with school violence. As the author mentioned directly, it is not an issue that a person who graduated from another high school can comment on the school violence suffered by Kwak Jun-bin.
2. I remember that the writer teased me a lot because I heard a lot about my friends going home or where they lived", As I mentioned several times that "some friends might have teased me badly at the time", criticism and teasing of Kwak Jun-bin's family situation existed since middle school, and continued.
It is also true that the influence of peer groups in school was more powerful than anything else, so it was difficult to honestly say hard feelings even though they were teased, and that the ranking structure created in the name of prank made them more intimidated in school life.
It might be just a practical joke for someone, but it's not a problem that someone who's not in the party can decide that "Some people might have teased him badly, but not to that extent." Likewise, the author's idea that the act of `throwing eraser powder in a lump' and `poking friends with compass' is a play culture among friends, not violence, can be a secondary offense in the same context.
3. The author's disclosure that 'he stole DS in his second year of middle school is false.
The DS mentioned here is presumed to be 'Nintendo DS', and according to a news article states that English or Japanese Nintendo has been distributed, and it was not until 2006 that the Korean corporation of Nintendo was established and officially distributed the Korean version of Nintendo.
When Kwak Jun-bin was in the second year of middle school in 2005, he checked with his classmates and found that it was so rare that he said "No one around him even knew it was a DS", and most of all, no one remembered "Kwak Jun-bin stole a game console". Kwak Joon-bin also revealed that he had never done the job.
Currently, Kwak Jun-bin is receiving a lot of criticism and criticism for the video he uploaded. This is an apology that had to be made, and the person concerned is also deeply reflecting on it.
However, I sincerely ask you to refrain from personal attacks beyond advice on Kwak Jun-bin, malicious attacks with unclear facts, and reckless criticism of the association system to acquaintances around you.
We will continue to actively respond to such a situation without neglecting it. We would like to inform you that we will take stern measures against false facts, malicious rumor generators and distributors without any preferential treatment to prevent the same from repeating in the future.
