AKP STAFF

On October 21, JYP Entertainment spoke up to address recent school bullying allegations directed toward GOT7's Youngjae

Back on October 20, a netizen claiming to be a former classmate of Youngjae's accused him of engaging in bullying, such as hitting and stealing possessions. Now, JYP Entertainment has stepped up to reveal Youngjae's side of the story.

The label began, "We have discussed this matter with our artist Youngjae, and we heard from him that there was one account of conflict between classmates which went as far as a physical collision, and afterward, they were unable to make up from the incident; however, all of the netizen's other accusations are not true."

The label continued, "The netizen claimed that they contacted JYP Entertainment regarding the allegations via email, but we have not received any emails from this individual thus far. We then attempted to contact the individual from our part in order to look into the truth, but we have not received any response so far." 

JYPE will continue to look into the matter in order to take any necessary measures of response. Stay tuned for updates.

Not a person on this planet that had the perfect childhood school experience. Nobody! Whole thing sounds stupid for all anybody knows could have been a playground contact game or crowded school hallway bump. I used to play basketball a major"collision" contact sport when I was in grade school. Does that make me a bully too! Get TF out of here all these idols getting swiped at around comebacks smells like extortion!
