Recently, online communities heated up after one netizen posted about GOT7’s Youngjae’s alleged school violence. In response, JYP Entertainment stated that they will make their official position after getting all the facts.

Yesterday, GOT7’s Youngjae was embroiled in school bullying allegations after an anonymous netizen raised the issue through an online community post.
