Rising Actress Addresses Bullying Allegations Amid Successful Return To Industry

Actress Park Hye Su revealed her thoughts on bullying allegations levied against her.

The actress, who recently made her return through the movie The Dream Songs, met with media outlets. The Dream Songs tells the story of a High School student who attempts to confess her feelings to her friend during a field trip.

On this day, the actress spoke about her ongoing bullying controversy.

I first revealed my side of the story at the Busan International Film Festival. At the time, the allegations were being investigated, so I thought this would be over in a year, but I was wrong. I’ve been talking publicly about my situation at other film festivals, so I was really looking forward to the premiere of this movie.

Previously, in 2021, the actress was accused of having bullied her schoolmates. Park Hye Su countered the accusations, claiming that her accusers were the ones who bullied her, and revealed that she was a new transfer to their school and had been subject to verbal abuse and sexual harassment every day.
