We met victim “A” at our editing conference room. On this day, “A” met with representatives of Kim Hieora’s label to tell them directly how she was bullied.

There were 5 people in total. Dispatch journalists Kim So Jung and Lee Myung Joo, “A”, Kim Hieora’s label CEO, director, and manager.

Dispatch then spoke with “D” who was born in 1990, and revealed Kim Hieora’s status at school.

1. Big Sangji always extorted money. We had to give them money.

Dispatch then revealed that alleged Victims “A” and “B” had changed their words. Below is a translation.

Next, “A” and “B” changed their stories.

“A” told a different media outlet, “I am a victim of school bullying, but Kim Hieora didn’t bully me. I realized my memory was incorrect, so I asked Dispatch not to release the story, but they didn’t listen to me and released the story. I want to set things right.”

Dispatch didn’t use “A”‘s testimony in the original article.

Let’s see how “B” changed their story.

“B” told DongIl Sports “I went to Dispatch with ‘A.’ After hearing that I was called a ‘bat’ (someone who changes sides) I was upset and so lied.”

“B” never came to Dispatch. “B” only spoke with us over the phone. We are not the ones who told “B” that Kim Hieora’s friends called her a bat. She claims that she lied? [sic] “A” told Dispatch that “B” was hit assaulted.

Dispatch never used testimonies from “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D.” Despite this, “A” and “B” lied to different outlets.

Dispatch then claimed that they were simply messengers and that they should not be held accountable for the alleged victims’ lies. Dispatch finally ends its article by stating that Kim Hieora was attacking the messenger and that this doesn’t change the fact that she was a school bully.

Dispatch’s latest article comes at a time in which Dispatch is receiving increased scrutiny after Kim Hieora’s other classmates stepped up to defend the actor.
