Bullying allegations against ‘History of the Losers’ stars resurface ahead of series premiere

Bullying allegations against Cho Byeong-Kyu and Song Ha-Yoon resurface ahead of ‘History of the Losers’ premiere.

K-drama actors Cho Byeong-Kyu and Song Ha-Yoon are at the center of controversy ahead of the premiere of their upcoming series 'History of the Losers', set to debut on February 26. 

The show, based on the popular webtoon by Kim Poong and Sim Yoonsoo, explores love and relationships and how anyone can find themselves on the losing side. It will be available on Wavve and Watcha.

However, the release has been overshadowed by past bullying allegations against both actors. Cho Byeong-Kyu faced accusations of school violence, including claims that he harassed a classmate, shot them with a BB gun, and used verbal and physical intimidation. His agency, HB Entertainment, denied the claims, stating that the original accuser later admitted to fabricating the story.

Song Ha-Yoon, on the other hand, has been accused of assaulting a classmate during high school. Her agency, King Kong by Starship, has also denied the allegations, calling them “entirely false” and threatening legal action.

Despite these controversies, 'History of the Losers' is set to proceed, with promotional efforts focusing on social media platforms. The actors’ pasts have sparked debate among fans as the show’s premiere approaches.
