Controversy over April bullying was re-examined when popular YouTuber Kwak Tube made remarks defending Lee Na-eun from April on a trip to Rome, Italy. Netizens criticized Lee Na-eun, who is suspected of leading Lee Hyun-joo's bullying, saying it was uncomfortable to defend her, but five officials close to April argued that there was "no bullying and harassment".
On the 26th, A, an agency official who has watched April since he was a trainee, B, a former manager, C and D, a former hairdresser, and E, another agency official, spoke in unison.
They said "There are no perpetrators or victims", but "5 people bullied not one person, but one person made it difficult for five people. Lee Hyun-joo was the member who needed to practice the most, but he neglected his practice and even went out of his accommodation to miss his schedule. Other members were rather damaged by Lee Hyun-joo's insincere attitude."
It was an atmosphere in which everyone was cautious because they didn't know when Lee Hyun-joo would burst. "Lee Na-eun is not even in the dark to lead bullying." This controversy is a witch hunt."

In 2021, Lee Hyun-joo's younger brother and classmate revealed that Lee did not leave the team to turn into an actor, but because he was bullied as a group by members. Lee Hyun-joo had a hard time even trying to make an extreme choice due to bullying and bullying that continued since she was a trainee, and eventually had no choice but to leave the team.
In response, DSP Media, an April agency at the time, and April members sued Lee Hyun-joo, her younger brother, and her classmate on charges of defamation. However, the police decided not to send them.
According to the later non-transmission decision, it is stated that it is publicly known that Lee Hyun-joo was bullied and persecuted by members even before the time of writing by the suspect (Lee Hyun-joo's younger brother), that Lee Hyun-joo was suffering from bullying in the group, and that there were tumblers and shoe incidents during April's activities, and the complainant also acknowledges that the problematic content of the article written by the suspect does not deviate much from the main facts of the complainant and Lee Hyun-joo's life together in April.
Accordingly, Kim Chae-won filed an objection with the prosecution, and although there were general human relations problems within the group, it was difficult to clearly judge it as bullying.
