The rise of actress Go Min Si, who had been gaining momentum as a new romantic comedy star, has hit an unexpected roadblock due to recent school bullying allegations.

Go Min Si recently impressed audiences with her role in the Genie TV original drama 'Tastefully Yours'. She portrayed Mo Yeon Joo, a fine-dining chef who opens her own restaurant in Jeonju. Her performance—layered with passion for her craft and a nuanced emotional range—earned her widespread praise. Viewers especially appreciated her chemistry with co-star Kang Ha Neul and her ability to balance warmth and gravity, with many hailing her as the next “rom-com queen.”

The drama not only achieved rising ratings in Korea but also landed in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for non-English TV series, ranking first in 17 countries. Go Min Si was undeniably at the center of its success.

However, the celebration was short-lived. On May 26th, a post surfaced on an online community accusing Go Min Si of committing various acts of school violence during her middle school years—claims that quickly cast a shadow over her growing career.

According to the post, Go Min Si allegedly bullied classmates, extorted money, verbally abused peers, and ostracized students, including those with disabilities. The accuser also criticized her for allegedly continuing her entertainment career without proper remorse and for dismissing past incidents as “simple mistakes.”

In response, her agency Mystic Story issued a swift denial, calling the claims 'completely unfounded' and expressing full trust in their artist. However, public sentiment remains divided due to the detailed and emotionally charged nature of the allegations.

The timing of the controversy has only amplified its impact. As attention was focused on Go Min Si thanks to the success of her recent work, the sudden appearance of such claims threatens to derail the trajectory she had been steadily building. With her reputation as a versatile and emotionally resonant actress on the line, the outcome of this situation will be critical to her future in the industry.
