Hearts2Hearts member Ian has recently been accused of school violence and sexual harassment.
Shortly after the group’s debut, an anonymous individual claiming to be a former classmate came forward with allegations against Ian. The accuser left a comment on what appeared to be Hearts2Hearts’ new MV, and a screenshot of the comment quickly spread on X, formerly Twitter.
One netizen shared the news, saying, “I went to check out Hearts2Hearts’ new music video, but what is this? Feels like The Glory.”

In the original YouTube comment, the accuser stated that Ian had a history of violent behavior during middle school and had made sexually inappropriate comments about teachers.
The accuser recalled an incident in elementary school when Ian threw a rock during a fight, breaking a fish tank and flooding the first floor. They also mentioned that Ian’s mother became notorious among parents and teachers for her aggressive behavior and once made another student’s mother kneel in apology.
According to the accuser, Ian was uncooperative in group projects, which led many classmates to avoid her. They also claimed that Ian had a friend film her hitting another student and uploaded the footage to the school’s website, though it was quickly deleted. In middle school, Ian and her friends were said to have spoken badly about their teachers and made sexually inappropriate remarks, which upset students who respected those teachers.
The accuser further alleged that after Ian dropped out to become a trainee, her friends were caught smoking at school, and one was later involved in a serious bullying case. They argued that Ian could have faced similar consequences had she not left school early.
These allegations have sparked controversy among fans, with many expressing skepticism. Supporters argue that newly debuted SM Entertainment idols are frequently targeted by similar accusations.

Another classmate addressed the so-called “fish tank incident,” explaining that it wasn’t a case of one-sided bullying. They stated that Ian had a strong personality and often clashed with others but wasn’t inherently malicious. According to them, Ian had even helped them when they struggled to fit in.
저도동창이었어요 같은반은 아니지만 친하게지냈고.. 제가 친구 없어서 잘 적응 못할때 도와줬어요 어항깨진거 유명한사건이긴했는데 이안이가 특이한 애긴 했어도 나쁜애는 아니었어요.. 애들이랑 싸우다 그렇게된거고 일방적이고 악질적인 괴롭힘도 아니었고요.. 웃기고 당당하고 (타래로) https://t.co/NRrMpY7Clx
