[theqoo] [OFFICIAL] DSP "APRIL LEE HYUNJOO'S DONGSAENG CLEARED OF CHARGES? WE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE BULLYING" + HYUNJOO RESPONDS



DSP Media has released a statement regarding Hyunjoo’s younger brother being cleared of defamation charges.

On June 23, it was revealed that the police cleared Hyunjoo’s brother of defamation charges for stating that Hyunjoo had been bullied by her bandmates when she was part of APRIL. Media outlets reported that the decision was made as he had no intention to slander APRIL and that it was true that Hyunjoo had been bullied by the group.

In response, DSP Media’s legal representative released the following statement:

Some media outlets reported that the investigative agency decided to clear Lee Hyunjoo’s younger brother of charges after accepting that she was bullied by the members, but this is different from the truth.

To fully quote the exact reason for charges being cleared without distortion, “Charges were cleared as it is difficult to say that there was an intention of defamation and a recognition of false information.”

There was no confirmation of the members participating in bullying, and charges were cleared with the reason that the accused had no recognition of false information in the posts that he wrote.

We request for information that is different from the truth to not be circulated without confirming the facts.

1. Just how much more do they want the victim to suffer to be doing this? If they are really humans, they should get in their right minds, seriously..

2. It seems like they want this to be like the T-ara case so they keep trying to paint Hyunjoo in a similar way to distract people from the issue. But she even tried to commit suicide here....................................

3. Just why are they doing so much? DSP should leave when they still can

4. It's a fact that the tumbler and shoe incidents happened so why are they still saying that she wasn't bullied? Tsk tsk tsk

5. So many petty companies out thereㅋㅋㅋㅋ including this one

6. She had it so hard that she tried to commit suicide but they are still continuing to appeal. Even the public who's watching this is hurting for her. I can't even imaging just how hard it's been for her and her family. Just cut it down already

7. It's not that they don't know it happened, they are pretending to not know and are trying to make them promote again no??

8. Her dongsaeng is only a '04-liner though ㅠㅠ

9. JYP and DSP get along wellㅋㅋㅋ I'll skip on both of them

10. This is the epitome of mental gynmnasticsㅋ the public is not as dumb as you think



[theqoo] LEE HYUNJOO'S SIDE "DSP, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CAUSING MISUNDERSTANDING WITH AMBIGUOUS STATEMENTS"
"Lee Hyunjoo's side" DSP, please refrain from causing misunderstanding with ambiguous statements" (Full text) [Official]"


On June 23, the law firm representing Hyunjoo and her family Lee & Kim confirmed her younger brother, who initially made the bullying accusations against April, had been found not guilty of defamation of character following DSP Media's lawsuit against him. The next day, DSP Media's legal reps asserted the April members did not bully former member Hyunjoo. The label stated, "It was never admitted the members bullied someone, and in terms of the post Hyunjoo's brother wrote, the lawsuit was rejected as no intention of falsehood was determined."

Hyunjoo's legal team has now followed up with a warning against DSP Media, stating, "We repeat our warnings to DSP Media to refrain from causing the public to cause misunderstandings with their ambiguous statements and ask them to only make the necessary statements as required by legal procedures."

The legal team has also released details from the legal document below:

"2. Judgement

The parts the suspect wrote that are causing problems 1) the content that Lee Hyunjoo received bullying from the group 2) the content that the team members just laughed and passed by instead of greeting her mother who came to the company 3) the content that there was rotten kimbap on Lee Hyunjoo's seat in the car and the rest of the members and the manager got angry that it smelled and cursed 4) the content that the plaintiff put cheonggukkjang in a tumbler that was bought by Lee Hyunjoo's grandmother 5) the content that a member wore his older sister's (Lee Hyunjoo) shoes and threw them as they told her to take them 6) the content that the plaintiff did not greet Lee Hyunjoo's mother and just laughed and passed by.

Considering this content, the suspect saw articles (referral to records 329-332) reporting that April suffered damage after Lee Hyunjoo's departure from her group and additional clarification regarding bullying rumors and wanted to correct the truth that she left the group on her own terms. Additionally, considering that Lee Hyunjoo's bullying was publicly known before the writing of the suspect's post, as well as no new abusive acts or content worthy of harm from the suspect, with the existing abusive acts specified in detail and the abusive acts not highlighted, and the fact that April is a well-known celebrity that is related to public interest, it is difficult to see that the suspect's purpose was slander.

2. Judgement

The accused (Hyunjoo's brother) is also in actual fact, the younger brother of former April member, Lee Hyunjoo, and it is true that he had heard about the incidents from Lee Hyunjoo herself.

Additionally, with regards to the bullying allegations, looking at (censored), Lee Hyunjoo had indeed been having a tough time due to being bullied by the group, and the tumbler incident as well as the shoes incident that happened during April's promotions were also overall true. The accuser (the person that filed the lawsuit) had also admitted to the incidents' occurrences (referral to records 67-68) hence the parts written by the accused under the clause '2) Judgement' 1~6, were things that occurred between Lee Hyunjoo and the accuser during their time as a group, and as it does not stray too far from the truth and cannot be judged as a falsehood.

As with the above, the accused is also in fact Lee Hyunjoo's younger brother who had directly heard about the incidents. Furthermore, as the content in the post has been reported in various articles, it is hard to claim that the accused had consciously created falsehoods while writing the post.

Hence, it is not acknowledged that the accused has committed slander, and the lawsuit will not be accepted."

3. She must have had it so hard trying to communicate with this trash company who f*cking doesn't listen to her ㅠㅠ Hyunjoo fighting

4. This is seriously so tiring.. It would've been better if they said that they were young, made mistakes and were reflecting. Stop with these repetitive appealsㅠㅠ because one member has been doing well for a while, they don't want to halt her promotions so they are trying to hold unto her at all costs

5. Hyunjoo, I support you

6. Good

7. Hyunjoo find strength

8. Wow this company is just the worst. Hyunjoo, you suffered ㅜ
