According to police investigation, the girls were said to have testified, "We got angry because she went around telling other friends about our argument in middle school."

On the other hand, Kim confessed, "I've been continuously assaulted since my first year of middle school. I was afraid of retaliation but it grew too much to bear so I decided to dial the authorities." 

Meanwhile, police relayed their intent to investigate whether the girls bullied other students and whether they circulated the video clip outside the chat room.
