Recent allegations of school bullying against actor Ahn Se-ha have sparked intense reactions from former classmates and educators.
On October 9, a shocking post surfaced in an online community, accusing Ahn Se-ha (real name Ahn Jae-wook) of severe bullying during his time at Namsan Middle School in Changwon, South Korea. A witness recounted an incident where Ahn purportedly led a group in physically assaulting a fellow student. Subsequent testimonies from other alumni and a current teacher have emerged, corroborating the claims and detailing the atmosphere of fear surrounding Ahn during school days.
The testimonies reveal a pattern of intimidation, with former classmates recalling how Ahn and his peers engaged in collective bullying, creating a hostile environment. One teacher expressed regret for not intervening at the time, stating that fear of retaliation prevented him from taking action. Others shared their memories of Ahn as a notorious figure at school, suggesting that many students were aware of his behavior but felt powerless to act.
In response to the serious allegations, Ahn Se-ha's agency, Hunus Entertainment, denied any wrongdoing, labeling the accusations as completely unfounded. The agency announced plans to take legal action against the accusers for defamation and to uphold Ahn's reputation. As the situation unfolds, attention is focused not only on the actor's past but also on the broader implications of bullying within educational institutions.
