While detailed accusations against Han Jong Yeon and Jung Joong Ji have gone unchallenged so far, the same can’t be said anymore for Joo Hak Nyeon‘s case. In light of the accusations of him being bullying, classmates have stepped up to say that those rumors were untrue and that the people making those accusations just didn’t like him.

They posted the yearbook photo + this message as proof, just like the ones who spread the rumors had/are doing now pic.twitter.com/8xLOBKHz6V — LITTLE PIGLET (@bokdongie) March 13, 2017

A different underclassman to Haknyeon several days ago pointed out how she noticed he was on the show and they were friendly– — LITTLE PIGLET (@bokdongie) March 13, 2017

When the rumors came out and egg accts were made to 'prove' the rumors w their own yearbook pics, she vouched for him on her public acct https://t.co/eVVcPKnhUQ — LITTLE PIGLET (@bokdongie) March 13, 2017

She said "I'm a junior to Joo Haknyeon from primary school..

he's a good guy.. he trained often and studied hard, a good sunbae– — LITTLE PIGLET (@bokdongie) March 13, 2017

so hearing rumors of harassment is a bit offensive." — LITTLE PIGLET (@bokdongie) March 13, 2017

The former is more of a direct refutation of the rumors, while the latter is more of testimony to his character. But still, multiple people putting their actual names behind him seem a lot more credible to me than an anonymous accusations and a bunch of swarming egg accounts on Twitter.

Hard to get anything concrete, so it’s always up in the air, but this kind of stuff seems absolutely possible/likely.
