Actor Ahn Se-ha has found himself embroiled in school violence allegations, prompting a response from the investigative program 'Real Story Investigation Team'.
According to a report by Sports Seoul on the 14th, the production team of MBC's 'Real Story Investigation Team' has begun investigating the allegations against Ahn Se-ha. They have reportedly secured key sources related to the claims and are in the process of verifying their authenticity. Initially, the episode featuring this investigation was slated for release on October 3, but MBC announced that the broadcast has been canceled due to internal discussions.
Ahn Se-ha became the center of controversy after an anonymous post on an online community claimed he was involved in school violence. The post alleged that he had been a prominent bully, stating that he had assaulted the writer and instigated fights. In response, Ahn Se-ha's agency quickly declared the allegations to be "100% false," but testimonies from other alleged victims have since surfaced.
Following the escalation of the situation, Ahn Se-ha's agency reiterated their stance, emphasizing that they will take swift action against the claims. They intend to cooperate fully with police investigations to clarify that these allegations are false. Despite these efforts, the damage to his reputation has been significant; he has canceled his upcoming first pitch event at Changwon NC Park and will also exit the musical 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder'.
Furthermore, he has been dismissed from his role as an ambassador for the Okcheon National Theatre Festival after a discussion with festival representatives. Previously appointed alongside fellow actors, Ahn Se-ha's removal comes in light of the ongoing allegations. As the situation develops, many are left questioning not only the truth behind the claims but also the impact on Ahn Se-ha's career in the Korean entertainment industry.
