Famous South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo, who is currently popular for the KBS series ‘River Where the Moon Rises’, has been accused of violence at school and sexually assaulting a school student. An anonymous user took to Instagram to post the claims along with stating that the user has the victim's audio recording as proof of the incident.

The anonymous user, who claimed to be a former classmate of Ji Soo, accused the 27-year-old K-drama star of being a school bully at Seorabeol Middle School. The user alleged that the actor bullied the person from 2006 to 2008 writing, "Actor Ji Soo is a perpetrator of school violence." The first accusation stirred a conversation where more social media users claiming to be former classmates of the ‘Bad Guys 2’ star came out and shared details of horrific instances, allkpop reported.

A user alleged, "Ji Soo skipped school a lot after he decided not to go to college in the latter half of 10th grade. He was a 'womanizer', and he even filmed himself having intercourse with a middle school student in a bathroom. He shared that video with his clique. He would know what I'm talking about if he sees this." Another one alleged, "He even forced male students to do him a favor, ejaculating on the victim's face. I have a recorded conversation with the victim about the incident as proof," according to allkpop.

While the sexual allegations are extremely serious, social media users are of the opinion that if these accusations turn out to be false, there needs to be strict punishment against the accusers. A fan stated, “If this turns out to be not true Korea needs to step up about the out of control rumor scandals they are having, it’s making celebrities and knetz look really dumb right now, and in the future, it will be so easy to dismiss things as fake because of this last month.”

Another said, “I think Korean artists should do something about their artists right too....this is alarming coz knetz can easily ruin someone life if they dont like them....i mean...They hate when someone is gettng better ..if ever this is true,then file a case and prove it!” A user noted, "I see the trend besides trying to ruin innocent people's careers is saying they have proof when they don't. They saw bullying didn't work so now they are going for something that's harder to prove as false. I'm so disappointed in humanity but not surprised."

What did his agency say?

However, his agency Keyeast released a statement soon after these accusations and stated that they are investigating the matter. In the statement they said, "Hello. This is KeyEast.
