RESCENE's Woni bullying allegations debunked by former teacher

As so-called "bullying allegations" surrounding RESCENE member Woni spread online, an individual claiming to be Woni's middle school homeroom teacher stepped forward to testify to her character, directly refuting the groundless suspicions. The controversy entered a new phase after the original poster deleted the initial claims.

On the 1st, a netizen posted on SNS claiming to know Woni's past, questioning her middle school life and private conduct.

However, the post provided no specific evidence or objective data. Despite the unverified nature of the claims, the controversy grew as it spread rapidly through various online communities.

- "I was her homeroom teacher in 2nd and 3rd grade"

As the controversy escalated, the individual identifying as Woni's homeroom teacher during her second and third years of middle school opened a separate SNS account to issue a direct statement.

To prove their identity, the teacher released a handwritten letter from Woni, photos taken with friends, and portions of messages exchanged with colleagues working at the school at the time.

In the account's bio, the teacher wrote, "I was Woni's homeroom teacher in 2nd and 3rd grade," adding, "If Woni truly did something wrong during her middle school years, it is my responsibility for teaching her incorrectly."

The teacher further appealed, "Please stop the indiscriminate criticism of a student based on groundless posts."

- "A student who gifted candy saying 'I love you, teacher'"

The teacher also provided detailed recollections of Woni's school life.

"She was a student who often gave me candy as a gift and said 'I love you,'" the teacher explained, noting, "She participated sincerely in school life, including student council activities and performance assessments."

The teacher also recalled, "On the day before graduation, she went to a cake workshop with her friends and gifted us cakes they made themselves. I still vividly remember us hugging and crying together ahead of graduation."

"Since it was the early stages of my teaching career, I was strict at times, but they were truly wonderful students who respected me," the teacher added.

The teacher's post drew significant attention, not only for refuting the allegations but for providing a personal perspective on Woni as a student.

- "Exposure post deleted... Agency has no official stance yet"

Following the teacher's rebuttal, it is reported that both the original SNS post and the account that raised the initial suspicions have been deleted.

However, the authenticity of the original post and the materials released by the teacher have not yet been officially verified, and RESCENE's agency has not released an official statement as of now.

- "RESCENE writes a chart-climbing legend"

RESCENE is a girl group that has been maintaining a steady upward trend recently.

Following the buzz surrounding Woni's individual YouTube activities, their 2024 release 'LOVE ATTACK' garnered significant attention by achieving a "chart reversal," reaching the top of music charts two years after its release.

Building on this momentum, the group secured their first music show win since their debut with the single 'Pretty Girl' released last month.

While these allegations surfaced during a period of peak activity, the situation currently remains a clash between unverified claims and the teacher's testimony. A final judgment awaits further verification or an official statement.
