Gominshi’s Agency Responds to School Violence Rumors… “False Information Crossing the Line, Even Naming Previous Identity”
When allegations of school violence surrounding actor Gominshi surfaced online, his agency Mystic Story immediately denied the claims and took legal action.
As posts containing identifiable information about the actor spread rapidly, concerns about unfounded claims and the issue of infringement of celebrities’ human rights are once again in the spotlight.
Mystic Story stated, “Indiscriminate dissemination not only harms the actor but also deeply wounds their family,” revealing a firm stance on dealing with the situation.
The controversy began with a post on an online community titled ‘Actor Go00 is a victim of school violence,’ which provided clues linking the actor Gominshi to the allegations by disclosing information such as ‘born in 1995’ and ‘previous name Go Hyeji.’
The post detailed specific instances of verbal abuse, extortion, and even mockery and threats towards disabled students during middle school.
In response, Mystic Story released an official statement on the 26th, declaring that the allegations were clearly false and that they are considering legal actions with the appointment of legal representatIVEs.
They also emphasized, “SpeculatIVE reporting or spreading rumors through comments constitutes defamation, and we will strongly respond to any malicious acts related to this,” urging responsible information distribution.
It is reported that data collection and legal procedures are currently underway.
Since his debut in 2016, Gominshi has continuously expanded his acting spectrum. His notable works include the Netflix original series ‘Sweet Home,’ ‘Love Alarm,’ and KBS2’s ‘Youth of May,’ as well as his current leading role in the ENA drama ‘The Taste of You.’
Moreover, amidst gaining global attention by being listed in Forbes’ ’30 Under 30 Asia’ list, the recent controversy could potentially impact the actor’s image to some extent.
Previously, Gominshi faced controversy over underage drinking photos from his past, to which he admitted and apologized, accepting criticism with sincerity and continuing his activities thereafter.
