Mukbang YouTuber Naram, with 2.63 million subscribers, sparked controversy in December when she revealed that she had been a victim of school bullying in elementary school. In the video, Naram claimed, "One of the perpetrators who even created an anti-fan cafe for me is now an idol." She revealed that the perpetrator was a former contestant on the audition program "Produce 101 Season 2."

 

Naram explained that she was subjected to collective ridicule and bullying through Daum Cafe at the time, and that the experience left her with such severe trauma that she even changed her name as an adult. The core of her revelations was not just physical violence, but also the collective online bullying and the resulting long-term psychological damage.

 

 

2. Who is Choi Tae-woong, who was identified as a perpetrator of school violence?

 

As the controversy spread, speculation quickly spread online that the individual identified as the perpetrator was Choi Tae-woong, a member of BZ-BOYS. This was because some of the information, such as his year of birth, region, and broadcasting history, matched.

 

Choi Tae-woong, born in Busan in 1994, participated in "Produce 101 Season 2" but did not make it to the debut group. He later officially debuted as a rapper with BZ-BOYS and is currently signed to Chrome Entertainment. While not a particularly well-known idol, this revelation has catapulted his name into the mainstream.

 

 

3. Choi Tae-woong's official position and notice of legal action

 

As suspicions spread, Choi Tae-woong's side immediately released an official statement through the Hwaon Law Firm. In the statement, Choi Tae-woong's side refuted the allegations, stating, "I have never committed any acts of violence during my school days, and these are blatant falsehoods."

 

They also stated that the video and post in question were causing serious defamation by spreading malicious comments and rumors, and that they were demanding the deletion of the related posts and initiating civil and criminal legal action. The official position continued with a strong warning against speculative reporting and indiscriminate dissemination.

 

 

4. What is your own rebuttal and key point?

Following Choi Tae-woong's statement, Naram also refused to back down. Naram stated on social media, "I have never made any false statements, so I will not delete the video," and once again revealed the specific time and circumstances.

 

They emphasized the name of the problematic cafe, the time it occurred, the fact that there was an official meeting with the homeroom teacher and parents, and that the cafe was actually closed. They also asserted the reality of the incident by revealing excerpts from conversations with acquaintances who remembered the situation. Ultimately, the issue is likely to shift to proving the facts and then to a legal judgment.

 

 

5. Current public opinion and future prospects

Public opinion is currently relatively mixed, not simply tilted in one direction. Some sympathize with the victim's experiences and trauma and believe the truth needs to be revealed. Others argue that, now that an official statement has been released, it's dangerous to make conclusions without verifying the facts.

 

However, the common reaction is that this controversy goes beyond personal conflict and resurfaces issues of school violence, public accountability, and the culture of whistleblowing. Until a legal decision is reached, the controversy is likely to be prolonged.
