'I Am Solo' Contestant Oksoon Denies Bullying Allegations, Threatens Legal Action

Oksoon, a participant in the 28th season of the popular dating reality show 'I Am Solo' (produced by SBS Plus and ENA), has vehemently denied allegations of school violence and being a former 'iljin' (school bully).

Her legal representative, Roel Law Firm, released an official statement on the 10th, unequivocally stating that all accusations circulating on online communities regarding school violence, 'iljin' rumors, and forced school transfers are false.

The law firm clarified that Oksoon has never engaged in school violence or faced disciplinary actions for such behavior. They explained that her school transfer was a standard procedure due to a change in residence, not a compulsory one stemming from misconduct. Furthermore, they highlighted her diligent academic history, stating she studied until midnight daily from middle school and gained admission to university through regular admissions after attending a foreign language high school.

Regarding claims about a group chat and infidelity, the legal team shared that Oksoon's acquaintances expressed bewilderment, confirming the non-existence of such a chat and refuting the infidelity rumors. While Oksoon initially refrained from a public response, fearing it might escalate the controversy and impact the show or her colleagues, the severe distress caused to herself and those around her, along with disruptions to her livelihood, necessitated legal action.

Consequently, the legal representative announced plans to pursue criminal charges against the original poster of these defamatory claims for spreading false information. A post accusing Oksoon of being a school bully surfaced on an online community on the 28th of last month, but it has since been deleted.

Oksoon is currently a contestant on the 28th season of 'I Am Solo,' a dating reality program. Prior to her broadcast, allegations of past school violence emerged on online communities. Her legal representatives have firmly refuted these claims, emphasizing her innocence and announcing legal recourse.
