Former (G)I-DLE Member Soojin Decides Not To Proceed With Current Lawsuit

Soojin’s legal representative has made a statement announcing a close to the lawsuit against her school bullying allegations.

On September 8, Soojin’s legal representative at Barun Law Firm stated that Soojin decided not to proceed with legal action going forward, judging by the circumstances that there is a limit to finding the truth through legal procedures as there is no other evidence to confirm the substantive facts other than the statements of the opposing parties.

The representative emphasized the fact that back when she was still in middle school, Soojin was acquitted by the School Violence Committee that was investigating the case at the time. He continued, “Ms. Seo strongly understands how emotionally hurt the former classmate must be, regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, and she sincerely apologizes to everyone who has been hurt from the brash words she used back in middle school, [including] her supportive fans as well as all others who have been disappointed.”

The full english statement is provided below:

Last year, people shared posts online alleging that Soojin had bullied other students in school. Although Soojin and Cube Entertainment denied the rumors, actress Seo Shin Ae eventually came forward and said that Soojin had bullied her when they were classmates together. In August 2021, Cube Entertainment announced that Soojin would be leaving (G)I-DLE, and her contract with the label was officially terminated in March 2022.
