Actress Song Hayoon, who filed a defamation lawsuit against an alumnus who accused her of school violence, has had the case dismissed by the police. The ongoing case may finally be coming to an official close.
According to Money Today on June 25th, the police decided not to forward the case that was filed on February 19th regarding defamation, obstruction of business, and threats filed by popular actress Song Hayoon against an alumnus identified as Mr. A.
The police determined the defamation charge was “not a crime” and cited insufficient evidence for the obstruction of business and threat charges, leading to an ultimate decision of dismissing the case. There was no substantial evidence ruling it as “not a crime,” which cases are usually made when an act may fall under the elements of a crime but is legally unpunishable due to specific reasons.
Previously, Mr. A appeared on JTBC’s Crime Chief in April 2024, claiming that in August 2004, when he was a sophomore in high school, Song Hayoon slapped him for about an hour and a half. He also alleged that the star was involved in a group assault incident and was forcibly transferred to another school.
At the time, Song Hayoon’s side vehemently denied the allegations, stating, “I have never met Mr. A, and I have never committed any acts of violence. I was also never forcibly transferred to another school like Mr.A claims.” After hearing the allegations, Song Hayoon soon later announced plans for legal action in order to retaliate the charges.
