[Edaily Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] As actress Cha Ye-ryeon finds herself embroiled in allegations of school bullying, curiosity is mounting after her YouTube comment section was closed.

On the 2nd, the production team behind Cha Ye-ryeon’s YouTube channel “Cha Jang-geum Cha Ye-ryeon” announced, “We learned of this matter while on a schedule in the U.S. with actress Cha Ye-ryeon, which caused a delay in our response,” adding, “YouTube comments are managed at the discretion of the production team, without the involvement of the cast.”
They continued, “While the matter is being investigated, we will disable comments on some videos to prevent the spread of baseless rumors and personal attacks against her family,” adding, “We ask for our subscribers’ understanding.”
Previously, Ms. A posted on an online community, “The true nature of Actress C, a graduate of [School Name], is that of a school bully and a member of a school gang,” adding, “It causes me pain to see her appearing on TV or YouTube with a smile, or being portrayed as a good wife, a good mother, an actress who cooks well, or a wholesome character.”
Ms. A, who is currently receiving treatment at a psychiatric clinic and taking medication for depression and anxiety, also said, “It breaks my heart to see that while I, the victim, am suffering from trauma, the perpetrator lives on, loved by the public as if nothing ever happened.”
In particular, she referred to C as a “demon,” claiming, “She bullied me constantly—at the back of the classroom, in the restroom, on the playground, and near the school. She would borrow my gym clothes and textbooks and never return them; when I asked for them back, she would yell and curse at me.”
In response, Cha Ye-ryeon’s agency, HB Entertainment, told Edaily that “the allegations of school violence currently being raised are completely groundless.”
