On August 31, a netizen uploaded a post on their social media handle accusing Son Seok Gu of being a criminal and practising school violence. The post immediately caught fire and netizens started discussing the matter.

According to the self-proclaimed eye witness, Son Seok Gu went to the same middle school as them in the city of Daejeon and practised violence on other students along with some other students. The netizen claimed that he picked weak students and harassed them by beating them on their backs and hitting them with his slippers. 

The netizen added how these incidents shocked them and how fear never allowed them to help the victims. 

However, Son Seok Gu’s agency had to say otherwise. According to the agency SBD Entertainment, they went through thorough research and the claims turned out to be untrue. The agency further announced that they will be taking legal action against the netizen for their false accusation.
