SEOUL, March 20 (Yonhap) -- K-pop Girl group (G)I-dle member Sujin once again denied the allegations of harassing actor Seo Shin-ae, who was her classmate in junior high school. The singer's agency said, "We strongly request that Shin-ae Seo reveal a clear position (on this suspicion)."

Sujin wrote on her fan community site on the 19th, "Every time I revealed my position (related to allegations of school violence), Seo Shin-ae posted a post at the same time (on social media), and many people misunderstood that I had caused abuse to Seo Shin-ae." 

She claimed that "even though my management agency, Cube Entertainment, contacted Seo Shin-ae's agency, there was no reply."

Last month, a person uploaded a post stating that her sister had been harassed by Sujin in the past, and  Seo Shin-ae also posted an article online alleging that she had been harassed by Sujin.

When Sujin revealed that the post wasn't true, Seo Shin-ae wrote "None of your excuse" on her social media at the same time.

On the 4th, when Cube Entertainment announced Sujin's suspension of activities, Seo Shin-ae also posted a post saying, "Your brilliant spring was a cold winter for me and a harshly long night."

As some people speculated that Seo Shin-ae wrote these articles towards Sujin, Sujin's school violence controversy grew.

Through the article posted on the day, Sujin also refuted the allegation and other accusations of school violence that have been raised over her. Her agency also sued the publisher of the post and the abuser alleging Sujin's abuse of school violence on suspicion of spreading false facts.
