(G)I-DLE Soojin: Why is 'tits out for Soojin' trending? CUBE takes legal action against trolls for bullying rumors

'If it turns out I did something wrong, I will take on the punishments & leave the group but the truths about the things I didn’t do will also be revealed,' (G)I-DLE's Soojin said, while claiming her innocence

Cube Entertainment is taking a firm stand against bullying rumors about (G)I-DLE's Soojin by proceeding with legal actions against online users. The entertainment agency has submitted evidence to Gangnam Police on March 19 for civil & criminal liability which shows how truth was distorted, a report said. Moreover, South Korean actress Seo Shin Ae will also be asked to clarify the meaning behind her elusive Instagram post which online users interpreted as her accusing Soojin of bullying.

Soojin has claimed innocence against the accusation of bullying with a statement where the 23-year-old said, “If it turns out I did something wrong, I will take on the punishments & leave the group but the truths about the things I didn’t do will also be revealed.” Speaking on the claims of Soojin bullying actress Shin Ae, the K-pop star said,  "I never had any conversations (with her) while in school" and she added, "Every time I revealed a new position about me, Actor Seo Shin-ae shared a post after that, and many people misunderstood that I was violent against the actress. I strongly ask you to clarify your position.”

Cube Entertainment has also released a statement explaining their stand which reads, "On the 19th, the company filed a complaint against all the spreaders of false information, including the first publisher, through the Gangnam Police Station. We would like to present all of the cases of false information that we have identified and all relevant evidences, and to reveal the truth through a rigorous investigation by an investigative agency. In addition, we will strongly hold civil and criminal responsibilities without prejudice. In the future, we plan to take strict legal action once again against the spread of false information and malicious comments of personal aggression for malicious purposes."

Along with that, Soojin has revealed ten counts of truth where she has addressed various issues raised against her and how her truth was distorted to present to the public. From addressing the allegations of bullying Shin Ae to explaining her phone fight with a friend and using abusive language, she cleared her stand on each and firmly denying ever slapping someone. About the first accuser, she wrote calling her as B, "The reason I knew who “B” was, a long time before B’s sister uploaded her post, I had learned from my old classmates that B was looking for old photos of me. At school, we were briefly close friends, so I still remembered the name of B’s sister. When she first made her post online, I could guess who she was from her user ID. I will take this moment to say firmly that my recognition of B was not because I had bullied her."

On the next claim of Soojin causing thrombocytopenia to an accuser, she wrote, "In the first accuser’s post, she said that the victim had developed thrombocytopenia (low level of platelets in the blood) out of the stress that I had caused her and that she had spent a lot of time in the hospital. But when B’s sister met with an agency representative, she said that the thrombocytopenia had started in her third year of school, a long time after the alleged period of school violence mentioned in the post. She also said that the alleged school violence would not have been a cause of the illness. After the face-to-face discussion, B and her sister changed their statement to be more ambiguous and said that while the alleged school violence had not caused the illness, it likely had an impact. Since this no longer seemed to be a clear statement of victimization, the reference to thrombocytopenia was eventually removed entirely." Read her entire statement here.
