As various allegations against singer Moon Won, who announced his wedding to Koyote's Shin Ji next year, have emerged, a high school classmate spoke up about Moon Won's reputation for bullying and rumors of school violence.
On the 3rd, a person surnamed A, who claimed to be a classmate of Moon Won from high school, said in a currency with OSEN, "I also saw the article and learned of the rumors. He is not that kind of person. If he was hit, then he was hit; he is not someone who goes around hitting people."
A said that he was close to Moon Won from the 1st to the 3rd year of high school. He noted, "We were close in high school. We did various activities together, and he is a good person. He also does not have the character to hit someone, nor is he at a level to do that, and there was no one he could hit."
So why did such rumors spread? A explained, "I don't know what crime he committed to cause this uproar. However, at least in front of me, he never hit anyone. He is not that kind of person. He is kind to friends, and if someone was hitting, he would be the type to intervene. He doesn't have the strength to go around hitting people. There are other bullies."
He added, "I don't understand what crime he committed to be criticized at a level of a great criminal. He is not that kind of person, and I believe the truth will come out. I hope he doesn't lose his mind," conveying words of support as a friend.
Meanwhile, following Shin Ji's revelation on her YouTube channel that Moon Won is a single parent with a daughter, a torrent of allegations against Moon Won has emerged. Since then, netizens claiming to be Moon Won's army comrades, middle school classmates, and acquaintances have continued to come forward online.
At this time, one netizen commented, "I was a classmate from middle school and high school. Choose 부x중 and 원x고 very carefully. I know a lot of stories, but I'm holding back from saying anything recklessly for fear of legal issues."
In response, Moon Won issued a statement saying, "I am sorry to those who have sent their congratulations and support, and above all, I feel sorrow for Shin Ji, who should be congratulated. As someone who will walk alongside Shin Ji in the future, I am very sorry and embarrassed to have caused misunderstandings among fans due to my insufficient words and actions."
He further stated, "I want to make it clear that some of the allegations are not true. Claims that I bullied friends or juniors during my school years or military service are completely unfounded, and I am willing to secure and disclose objective evidence if necessary to prove this."
