Amid various allegations against singer Mun Won, who announced his marriage to Koyote's Shin Ji, a middle school classmate refuted the rumors of Mun Won being a bully and involved in school violence.
On the 3rd, A, who identified as a classmate from Mun Won's elementary and middle school as well as a long-time local friend, stated in a currency with OSEN, "People around me told me (about the rumors), but there are many stories that don't make sense."
He added, "I'm not saying that he is what you would call a 'bully'; rather, it seems he is being misrepresented as a total hooligan who spits on everyone. When it comes to friends we know, isn't it common to gossip about them? In that case, he is the type to say, 'Don't say that,' 'He's not that bad of a person.'"
He also said, "He's such a friend, but to suggest that he hit kids at school? To be honest, there have been times when Mun Won was the one who got hit, and I informed his parents about it. He is not the type of person to hit anyone. They would probably remember it as a teacher at middle school."
Currently, A, who stated that he is still close to Mun Won, emphasized, "He is a friend that everyone likes. He knows a lot of people all around. If he had a bad personality, wouldn't he lack friends? He is not that kind of person. He is sociable and charming."
In particular, he expressed his frustration, saying, "From what I hear, they speak of him as if he is a total scoundrel. Aren't they trying to kill one person's character?" He strongly stated, "I am the father of two children. However, I can say this about my children. Mun Won is not a bad friend."
Meanwhile, since the day before, Shin Ji revealed on her YouTube channel that Mun Won is a divorced person with a daughter, leading to a flood of allegations against Mun Won. Subsequently, netizens claiming to be Mun Won's military comrades, middle school classmates, and acquaintances have continued to appear online.
One netizen claimed, "I was a classmate of his in middle and high school. Be very careful about your choice of Bu x Middle School and Won x High School. I know a lot of stories, but I'm holding back from speaking carelessly to avoid legal issues."
In response, Mun Won stated through social media, "I feel deeply sorry and ashamed that misunderstandings that worry fans have arisen due to my inadequate words and actions," adding, "I want to clearly state that some of these claims are not true. The allegations that I bullied friends or juniors during my school years and military service are entirely false, and if necessary, I am willing to secure and disclose objective evidence to prove this."
