After Nam Joo Hyuk reportedly met his alleged bullying victim and didn't end up in a truce, the latter released a video proving the actor was a bully through Lee Jin Ho's YouTube channel on Wednesday, April 26.
The victim, Nam Joo Hyuk's former classmate "A," wanted to use the clip as evidence for the 29-year-old's alleged bullying ways. But the clip was said to be "too ambiguous."
The Alleged Evidence Against Nam Joo Hyuk's Alleged Bullying
The alleged video evidence, via AllKpop, saw A, in white, sparring in the classroom with another male student.
They were surrounded by other students watching and telling him to "kick" his opponent.
After following their instruction, A fell while kicking in the air, resulting in a burst of laughter around.

Lee Jin Ho revealed A told him he didn't want to participate in the fight. But the sparring would never end if he didn't show any special skills or actions that would make his classmates laugh.
Hence, he intentionally kicked up in the air and fell on his own.
A also claimed that Nam Joo Hyuk's voice could be heard in the background and was one of the students watching him.
The alleged victim also claimed that the K-drama star was part of the group that "cornered him to fight and egged him on."

But for Lee Jin Ho, the video was too ambiguous. The clip wasn't just too dark.
Nam Joo Hyuk's face wasn't also seen in the clip.
The model himself previously said that he wasn't at the sparring site.

It was in 2022 when the Twenty-Five Twenty-One star was accused of school bullying. His former classmate claimed that he "harassed and tortured him" throughout their high school years.
Management SOOP quickly denied the claim and took legal action against the people who spread the negative news, which was said to be untrue.
A year after the news broke, Nam Joo Hyuk reportedly met his alleged victim to seek a resolution.
Sadly, they couldn't come to an agreement due to differing recollections of what happened.
