Former caddy alleges Cha Ye-ryun changed attitude depending on person

A person claiming to be a former caddy has alleged that actress Cha Ye-ryun acted rudely toward them during 2012–2013, following initial school violence accusations made on the 29th of last month. While HB Entertainment has denied the school violence claims as groundless, these new assertions remain unverified.

As allegations of school violence surrounding actress Cha Ye-ryun continue to spread, a new controversy has emerged following an exposure by a person claiming to be a former caddy who worked with her at a golf course. The controversy has entered a new phase as the individual provided a detailed account claiming that the actress's attitude changed depending on the person she was interacting with. However, these additional claims are the unilateral assertions of the writer and have not been verified as fact.

On the 3rd, a video titled "Cha Ye-ryun Counter-exposure Deletion Comment Blocked" was released on the YouTube channel 'Baek Eun-yeong's Golden Time'. Baek Eun-yeong, a former entertainment reporter, introduced the additional post questioning Cha Ye-ryun's past behavior at a golf course while addressing the recent school violence allegations against her.

The post was written on the 30th of last month, the day after the initial school violence allegations were made public. The writer, identifying themselves as a former caddy, claimed to have worked a round for the team Cha Ye-ryun belonged to around 2012–2013. According to the writer, Cha Ye-ryun treated them poorly, including being rude and dismissive.

The writer specifically claimed that Cha Ye-ryun's attitude shifted following a single phone call. The writer alleged that while Cha Ye-ryun had been rude to them, she suddenly adopted a polite tone upon receiving a call from an individual presumed to be an acquaintance. The writer reported that Cha Ye-ryun said, "Oh, Director. I'm at the golf course. If you call for me, of course I will go."

The writer added that witnessing such a change in attitude depending on the person was "chilling." However, Baek Eun-yeong drew a line, stating that the credibility of this exposure should not be taken for granted. He emphasized the need for caution in accepting unverified content, noting, "This could be a unilateral claim or even a false claim."

The school violence allegations surrounding Cha Ye-ryun began when a post titled "Please stop acting, female actress born in '85, perpetrator of school violence" was uploaded to an online community on the 29th of last month. The writer claimed to have suffered continuous bullying and physical assault from a female actress born in 1985 during middle school and demanded an apology. While Cha Ye-ryun was identified as the perpetrator, her agency, HB Entertainment, has completely denied the allegations, stating they are "groundless."

As the controversy continued, conflicting claims from individuals identifying themselves as former classmates also emerged. The impact of the allegations has extended to her family, with related comments appearing on the social media of her husband, Joo Sang-wook. Cha Ye-ryun's YouTube channel also deactivated some comment sections to prevent indiscriminate rumors and personal attacks against her family.

As of the 2nd, access to the initial exposure post was restricted through temporary measures in accordance with Article 44-2 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection. This procedure does not determine the truthfulness of the post or the facts of the allegations. As the exposure and rebuttals clash, the truth of the related allegations remains unverified.

Regarding the additional allegations, Cha Ye-ryun's side stated, "There is no additional position regarding the school violence allegations." While the controversy continues with the emergence of the golf course exposure following the agency's initial denial of the school violence claims, it is necessary to distinguish between unverified claims and official positions.
