Netizens are reacting to the school bullying allegations surrounding Go Min Si.

As reported, the actress quickly denied the claims that she was a perpetrator of bullying during her middle school years, as alleged by an anonymous post on an online community. Her agency, Mystic Story, also stood by her, stating that they trust her words.

However, the claims written by the anonymous author came in the form of a lengthy post, which included personal recollections and photo evidence, asserting they were former classmates.

The accuser's full statement reads:

Hello, we are the victims of school bullying by celebrity Go○○.

*Before we begin, we kindly ask you to take screenshots or save this post, as it may be taken down due to reports from Go○○'s agency representatives.

We are not classmates from the beauty high school that became controversial due to Go○○'s visits to adult entertainment venues and motels as a minor, but middle school alumni from Jungri Middle School in Daejeon. We were born in 1994, and Go○○ (formerly Go Hye Ji) is an early 1995-born, so we attended school together.

Since middle school, Go○○ committed numerous acts of school violence, extortion, verbal abuse, and mockery and threats toward students with disabilities. She frequently engaged in school violence by mobilizing local bullies and delinquent groups from outside school. She habitually stole classmates’ belongings and money, often bragging and mocking others afterward, revealing serious ethical flaws.

Nevertheless, Go○○ has continued her celebrity career without a hint of remorse, trying to sugarcoat her past as a "simple mistake." We do not seek any apology or compensation from Go○○. We simply want her activities to be permanently suspended to prevent further harm.

Go○○’s behavior was already problematic in her first year of middle school, with abortion rumors and complicated relationships with boys. She used her ties with delinquent older boys who had dropped out of school or attended technical high schools to carry out acts of violence. Her closest friend, Kim Ye Sul (now known as Kim○○, who currently runs a hair salon in Daejeon), was infamous for stealing classmates’ money and was part of a notorious group of bullies. Their older female acquaintances, who also acted as karaoke bar escorts, were well-known bullies in school.

Go○○ used these older girls to physically assault female classmates she disliked. Incidents included broken blood vessels, blows to the head, and kicks—horrific violence that occurred frequently. She also used her ties to delinquent boys to intimidate classmates and regularly hurled grotesque sexual insults at students with disabilities, saying things like "Hey, there’s your boyfriend. Go have sex with him," while laughing cruelly. She also mocked the body of a tall classmate and ostracized her during field trips, threatening others by saying, "When I count to three, ditch her and run." These acts of psychological abuse were relentless. Go○○ and Kim Ye Sul (Kim○○) took turns singling out classmates to bully, leading the charge in isolation and harassment. Throughout school, we were terrorized by their vile insults and threats, such as "You fing bh," "f*** off," "crazy b***h," and "Don’t twist your words—speak properly."

From a young age, Go○○ showed no respect for others’ belongings. She frequently took advantage of gaps during class changes or gym class to steal everything from cosmetics to cash from classmates’ wallets. When a few students caught on, she falsely accused other girls to cover her tracks. She also stole dozens of pens and pencils from Alpha, the stationery store near school, and proudly showed them off. From a nearby supermarket named Boram Core, she regularly stole pots, frying pans, instant meals, beer, and more, boasting about it in class. These were not childhood mistakes—they revealed her utter disregard for others’ property and complete lack of guilt for committing crimes.

Go○○ and Kim Ye Sul’s academic performance was poor, ranking near the bottom even in a district with low educational standards like Jungri Middle School. Go○○'s behavior disrupted the entire school atmosphere and even prompted complaints from parents. At the time, school violence committees were not as active as they are now, and even teachers were afraid of Go○○ and her group. It reached the point where some parents asked teachers to call the police. Students who previously performed well academically suffered due to bullying by Go○○ and Kim Ye Sul, with their grades plummeting, and some transferring schools because they couldn’t endure the harassment. The school violence committed by Go○○ severely affected not only our lives but also the academic performance and future of many other students.

This situation clearly shows that she is causing harm even now to people who support her, without knowing the truth. Many other classmates also experienced school violence from Go○○, such as extortion and verbal abuse. However, because many of us still live in Daejeon, where Go○○’s friends also run hair salons, we’re afraid of retaliation and have remained silent. We also hesitated for a long time due to fear of lawsuits meant to silence victims, media manipulation by her agency, and secondary harm from acquaintances. However, after seeing posts from others who said things like "She took my money" and "She was a vicious thug," and after confirming that a friend still had photos from her underage visits to adult venues and motels, we gathered the courage to post this.

We do not want any apology or compensation from Go○○. We do not need money earned by stepping on others’ dreams through bullying. Any public apology she makes after the controversy erupts is just another attempt to continue profiting as a celebrity while silencing victims. We, the victims, have not forgotten the abuse she inflicted since our first year of middle school, even now in our 30s. We remember vividly the threats she made with a fake smile while demanding money, the fear when she tried to act friendly, and the cruel smirks as she orchestrated group bullying.

Stop distorting the facts for your own benefit by saying things like "I was just a playful kid who drank a few times." If Go○○ selfishly chooses to lie again, believing the public will be fooled by her shallow excuses, this post will be the beginning—more facts we have yet to reveal will come to light one by one.

To advertisers and agency officials, we sincerely ask you to think deeply—not just about short-term gains, but about the long-term consequences of continuing to back someone who has been skilled at deceiving others for years. Before committing secondary harm under the pretext of "protecting your artist," ask yourselves: What if this happened to your child? What if your child was a victim of someone like Go○○?

Celebrities are public figures with social influence. If they’ve harmed others in the past or committed crimes, they must be held accountable and undergo public scrutiny. Right now, relevant individuals and their acquaintances are still active in Daejeon, and victims are too afraid of retaliation to speak up. For that reason, we want to stress again that this post is not personal revenge but a public-interest statement to raise awareness and inform the public.

This post is based on consistent testimony from many students who attended Jungri Middle School at the time. Anyone who lived in Daejeon in the early 1990s or worked at Jungri Middle School would be well aware of these incidents. We hope that other victims will stop blaming themselves and share the pain they endured at the hands of Go○○, who continues to deceive everyone behind a mask.

We do not want any last-minute "apology" designed to avoid penalty fees. If Go○○ genuinely feels remorse, she should never appear in public again and should spend her life regretting her actions and sincerely apologizing to the victims. Kim Ye Sul (Kim○○) must also not be allowed to avoid responsibility just because she is not a celebrity. While we couldn’t include every detail here, the friends who continue to associate with Go○○—who spread fear and hurt others through verbal abuse and threats—should also live the rest of their lives in reflection and without causing further harm.

Lastly, if there is anyone else who wants to share their experience as a victim of Go○○, we would deeply appreciate it if you could speak out—even anonymously. We hope this post becomes the start of courage.

In response, netizens have expressed shock, confusion, and deep disappointment, especially given the previously positive image associated with the actress. One commenter remarked that if the claims are true, "they should have come out much sooner" so fewer people would be left in this state of disbelief.

Many are grappling with the idea that even in the face of serious accusations, there will always be those who shield and support the celebrity, making it harder to uncover the truth.

Some netizens also pointed out that if these claims are accurate, this may be "the worst and most serious case of school bullying" ever reported in connection with a public figure. Moreover, a few netizens who claimed they were also from Daejeon acknowledged that the salon mentioned in the post does exist in real life and that Go Min Si's beauty school was allegedly infamous for delinquencies at the time.

The photos below are alleged evidence of Go Min Si tagged in the same photo as her hairstylist friend, formerly named Kim Ye Sul.

Comments include:

"Wow.."

"I used to like Go Min Si... what a downfall."

"If she was going to expose this, I wish she had done it earlierㅠㅠ"

"If this is true, I think now is the perfect time. If it had come out before she got big, it might’ve just faded quietly. But since it’s surfacing when she’s more popular, it’ll hit harder—though that regret probably has little to do with feeling sorry for the victims. I hope the victims feel some sense of closure from seeing her fall. And I hope anyone currently bullying someone sees this and stops for the sake of their own future."

"This might be one of the worst school violence cases I’ve seen…"

"Wow"

"This needs to spread more so the facts can be confirmed properly, seriously."

"If it’s true, she really shouldn’t continue her career like the victims said… the level of school violence is pretty serious."

"The level of detail feels like someone who truly remembers everything. If this is true, watching her continue her career must have been incredibly difficult. I hope the facts are confirmed soon. Sigh."

"First things first... confirming the truth is the priority. If this goes to court, I’ll wait until then to decide whether to criticize or not… sigh…"

"Apparently, the exposé was written with help from a professional, which makes me even more concerned."

"Whatever it is, staying neutral for now."

"The post sounds believable."

"There’s not even solid evidence yet—why are people acting like it’s confirmed?"

"But seriously, how do celebrities choose a career in the spotlight when they’ve done stuff like this in their youth…?"

"I'm staying neutral for now."

"Some people say it’s too late, but I think the timing is perfect lol. If she were still unknown, people would’ve just said 'who even is that?' and ignored it."

"I saw a report saying the claims were groundless, so staying neutral until the official outcome."

"If that’s true, it’s way too serious."

"If she was a school bully and a delinquent, then she’s shameless."

"But why did she steal pots and frying pans though lololol"

"Why are we already deciding and attacking her over school violence...? Shouldn’t we also hear Go Min Si’s side of the story?"

"Wow, but the details are really…"

"Let’s be real, even just drinking and smoking underage at a hostess bar is already..."

"If it’s true, how did she ever think she could become a celebrity... where’s her conscience?"

"But for things to be this specific, how much resentment must they have held... It’s shocking. Even after reading it twice, the details feel too vivid for this to be fake."

"There’s no proof yet, so shouldn’t we wait?"

"But honestly, when you see underage bullies drinking at room salons, it’s rare for them not to be involved in school violence. I always stayed away from those types… This was bound to come out eventually."

"Aside from the celebrity, based on my own experience, even if kids who go to bars like that didn’t bully anyone directly, just being around them created an atmosphere of fear."

"Even adults rarely go to room salons."

"Here we go again, people going 'no neutrality.'"

"Wow, this is really disappointing."

"Whoa, I’m shocked."

"Even just from the photos… feels like something was bound to happen."

"Just reading the post gave me trauma. Goodbye."

"Even from those bar photos, I already felt something was off, but everyone kept praising her so I was confused."

"I don’t want to see her in the media anymore..."

"I hate celebrities involved in school violence... why do they bully people?"

"Whoa, she was one of my favorites ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"Back then, if it was Yale Beauty High School... that place was pretty well-known for being infamous lol..."

"I had no idea. And she admitted and apologized for those bar photos? Even if we stay neutral on the school violence due to lack of evidence, the fact that she went to a room salon as a student..."

What are your thoughts?
