[theqoo] CLARIFICATION OF SEVENTEEN MINGYU'S SCHOOL VIOLENCE SCANDAL

"You're saying that he's the only one getting a lot of shield because he has a lot of fans? Of course, among the people who got exposed up until now, he has the biggest fandom. And we too don't like to fangirl on a school violence assailantㅋㅋㅋ But we are defending him because his expose post is the most unreliable and sloppy out of everyone so we can't make any conclusion. Why was OP hiding her age in the expose post (T/N: we'll call OP a "she" since she referred to older girls as "unnie" and guys usually call older girls "nuna")? She claimed in her post that she was his classmate and got exposed because the graduation albums were different, so she then changed the facts saying that she was his hoobae. She edited her post over 3 times and the FB message that she shared turned out to be fake so she shared his FB picture of him. But Kim Mingyu's FB account is still public right now so she took a selca that he took in 2016 as her proof. She said that Mingyu entered his agency in 3rd grade but he joined his agency in 2nd grade. She uploaded the expose post around 3~4 AM (to be honest, I don't understand why she would do it) and she deleted the post herself at around 6. So she probably didn't see the company's response. OP then came back saying that if the company said that the rumors were unfounded, she would write another post. But then, the company released their statement and she didn't write anything until 9 PM. Also, OP uploaded a picture of a notebook from an academy from Dongan-gu but do you really think that this can be counted as compelling evidence? She deleted that post too. You can see that her personality was showing in her reply (?). She said that she proved that she graduated from the same year as him but even in the replies, there was nothing concrete about anything she wrote. And soon enough she deleted her comment too. Also, there were 2-3 people in the comments saying things like "he was famous~", but they were just calling him famous without saying why he was famous for and never talked about the things he did either. Then if you put it like that, there were also a lot of posts written by other people who attended school with him or who attended schools next to his who protected him. But why are these people are just skipping over everything else and only believing the hate post without any proofs like it was some prophecy?"

original post: here

1. ㅇㅇ usually, when school violence rumors are true like Soojin and Jo Byunggyu's case, the testimonies are usually consistent. But his proofs were so lacking and the testimonies just said "he was famous~" and that was all

2. People are not telling others to stay neutral for his case for nothing

3. I hope that he resolves this nicely. Whether it's true or not

4. To be honest, he was embroiled in this rumor at the wrong time. Usually, people would've just skipped over

5. That's what I was saying.

1. The OP kept changing her identity and her age

2. It was proven that the FB message was fake

3. The FB picture she shared was already from a public account

4. She showed his selca as proof but it was a selca taken 5 years ago

5. She got his employment date wrong

6. She never updated her post so it did lower her credibility...

7. That's why. Even when the post refuting it got uploaded, she still is remaining silent... at this point, it will just be a nuisance to the idol

8. But people will skip on clarification posts like these once again

9. I bet that no one is gonna comment on posts like these...ㅋㅋ

10. They were just a lot of talks about him being famous... without any proofs

[theqoo] DO YOU KNOW WHY NOBODY WAS SAYING WHY KIM MINGYU WAS FAMOUS?

Because they don't know why themselvesㅋㅋㅋ

Me too I went to the same elementary and middle school as Mingyu and whatever the rumors say, just don't believe themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (I'm a '98 liner)

The majority of the people claiming that Kim Kingyu was famous up until now don't even know why he was famousㅋㅋㅋ why? Because they heard themselves about the rumors of him being famous.

Who can't say things like "that's what I heard" or "I heard this rumor"? they say things like "I was from the same school as him and I've heard his name before, ah everyone knew that he was famous~" and pretend like they know something. There are so f*cking many people like them.

I remember Kim Mingyu being famous because he was handsome. It's true that most of the people at school knew who he was. But to think that he was famous because he was some bully who had bad rumors around him? That wasn't the case at all.

Burim middle school wasn't some kind of gangster school nor was it a school full of losers. It was just your average school.

Another funny thing is who even can have the accurate standards to evaluate a school is a gangsters' or losers' school? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I'm not writing this post because I want to actively clarify Kim Mingyu's school violence allegations, it's just that most of posts written by people up until now are exaggerating. So I hope that you can read this carefully.

People who are saying "I knew that this would happen" or "it's weird that he's getting exposed now" are just people who want to believe that he was violent in school.

By the way, the Kim Mingyu that I remember was a f*cking fast runner during elementary school. And he wore a blue training suit.

In middle school, he was a trainee who was known to he handsome.

The posts written by people who claim to be an alumni aren't even close to him and most of them are writing these posts from rumors they heard. I'm in the same case but how can these people who have never spoken to him be so certain about what kind of kid he was?

It's true that you should only believe people with compelling evidence and proof.

original post: here

1. Mingyu-yah, I believe you ㅠㅠ

2. Thank you OP, I couldn't concentrate on anything for the whole day but because of you, I'm at peace again

3. The only fact that I believed up until now is that he had FB

4. The victim didn't even share a graduation album from his yearㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and when she uploaded her graduation album, people were refuting it so she edited her post. Why are you guys believing her expose post while not believing posts written by people who actually have the same graduation album?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you sure that you just don't want his school violence rumors to turn out true?~~~ It's not that you guys are pitying the victim but that you want to have fun cursing at celebrities right?

5. It's my first time seeing an evidence from TheQoo (T/N: OP wrote ㄷㅋ/Theqoo on her picture)

6. I stayed neutral all this time. The claims about him were just too weak compared to the other assailants

7. Thank you, seriously thank you

8. Mingyu is the most genuine about food

9. I don't know much about Seventeen but I remember food-Mingyu and his FB pictureㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. Burim middle school was seriously your average school. Wasn't Hogye middle school that was known to house a lot of iljins? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but as for high schools, they were all the same ㅋㅋ
