Actor Ahn Se-ha, amidst allegations of school bullying, has appointed a lawyer, signaling potential legal battles ahead.
On November 11, his agency, Hunus Entertainment, confirmed the hiring of legal representation, emphasizing their unchanged stance: they intend to let the courts resolve the matter. The controversy ignited on November 9 when a post titled "Bullying Accusations Against Actor Ahn Se-ha" appeared in an online community, detailing allegations from a former classmate. The accuser claimed that Ahn threatened them in middle school, intensifying the serious nature of the allegations.
Additionally, the accuser revealed that witnessing Ahn slated to throw the ceremonial first pitch at an upcoming baseball game prompted them to speak out. This event is set for November 15, where Ahn will throw the first pitch for an NC Dinos versus LG Twins match, further fueling the public interest in the case. In a firm statement, Hunus Entertainment vehemently denied the allegations and announced intentions to pursue legal action for defamation.
Despite the denials, other alleged classmates have come forward with additional accusations, supporting the claims against Ahn. The escalation of these revelations suggests a mounting legal and public relations challenge for the actor as he prepares for the upcoming court proceedings. Ahn, born in 1986, debuted in the theater in 2011 and has since gained recognition for roles in popular dramas.
Having married a non-celebrity in 2017 and becoming a father of twins, Ahn's personal life adds another layer to the unfolding drama. As the case develops, the intersection of celebrity, public scrutiny, and personal history remains at the forefront of this ongoing situation.
