Creator Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) hinted at a hard-line response to the spread of false information.

Kwak Tube's agency, SM C&C, made an official statement on the 19th, saying, `First of all, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the issue regarding Kwak Jun-bin, the artist of our company"Apart from this, 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, A, who claimed to be Kwak Tube's middle school classmate, posted an article on the online community to determine the authenticity of Kwak Tube's school violence. Currently, the post has been deleted. In this regard, the agency is "According to the author's claim, it was 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 due to school violence. As the writer directly mentioned, it is not an issue that a person who graduated from another high school can comment on Kwak Jun-bin's school violence."

Then "I think the writer might have teased my friends after hearing them go to play or where they live."I remember making fun of him for being a beggar', As I mentioned several times, "'Some friends may have teased me badly at the time, but', the criticism and teasing of Kwak Jun-bin's family situation has existed since middle school, and has continued to be made fun of.'

The influence of peer groups in the school days was more powerful than anything else, so it was difficult to be honest about difficult emotions even though they were teased, and it is also true that the hierarchy made in the name of jokes made students feel even more intimidated in school life. "It may be just a mischievous joke for someone, but it is not a matter that can be decided by someone who is not involved in it as "Some people may have teased it badly, but it is not that much". Likewise, the author's idea that the act of `throwing the eraser powder together' and `poking a friend with compass' is a play culture among friends, not violence, can be a secondary offense in the same context," he said.

Finally, the agency said, `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 indiscriminate criticism of the sit-down system that leads to acquaintances around you," he said.

Hereinafter, the official position of SM C&C, an agency.

Hello. This is Kwak Jun-bin'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.

Thank you.
