Nam Joo Hyuk has been officially cleared of the school bullying allegations that were made against him by a former classmate in 2022. Following investigations that determined the accusations to be false, the two individuals from the case who levied the claims against the K-drama star have been charged with defamation.

Nam Joo Hyuk’s accusers face defamation charges

Legal sources revealed on February 8 that two individuals have been indicted on charges of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act for leveling allegations of school bullying against actor Nam Joo Hyuk. The accused parties, comprising one journalist and one online netizen, were initially accused in June 2022 for allegedly tarnishing Nam Joo Hyuk’s reputation by spreading various claims suggesting he had engaged in bullying during his school years.

According to recent reports, the prosecution has concluded that the allegations of school bullying were unfounded. Consequently, both individuals have been found guilty of defamation. The prosecution has categorized both cases as summary offenses and has recommended that the court impose fines instead of proceeding with a trial. If neither party involved nor the court expresses an intention to proceed with a trial, the prosecution’s decision will become final.

Nam Joo Hyuk returns to the screen with Vigilante

For those unfamiliar with the situation, in June 2022, a former classmate of Nam Joo Hyuk made allegations that the actor had bullied him for a period spanning over six years, from middle school to high school. Subsequently, two more students came forward to accuse the Twenty-Five Twenty-One actor of bullying. However, many students and teachers stepped forward to support Joo Hyuk. Additionally, the credibility of the initial accuser was questioned when they altered their claims after threats of legal action from the K-drama star’s label against the informant, reporter, and media outlet responsible for the original allegations.

Despite the controversy, Nam Joo Hyuk continued to work on his projects and delivered stellar performances. He recently starred in the drama Vigilante, which aired its final episode in January 2023. The drama, which also featured Lee Sung Kyung, Kim Seon Ho, and Park Bo Young, was a hit among viewers and critics alike. It told the story of a group of ordinary citizens who teamed up to fight against corruption and injustice in their society. Nam Joo Hyuk played the role of Kang Ji Hoon, a former prosecutor who became a vigilante after losing his family in a tragic incident.

The drama received praise for its thrilling plot, realistic action scenes, and stellar acting from the cast. It also released a character trailer featuring Nam Joo Hyuk and the other main actors, which garnered a lot of attention and anticipation from fans. The trailer can be watched on the official website of the drama.
