The accusations mentioned by the netizen are:

1. During break time, just because someone looked at him, he (the actor) kicked his classmate three times. Then he called his gang to commit violence against the classmate who looked at him.
2. He gathered his friends in the bathroom and forced the victim to perform (sorry) masturbation. Then they laughed together at the victim.
3. He gathered his friends to commit violence against someone inside the classroom.

3. Someone Defends

Netizens say that people who live in the same area all know the actor and his mischievous behavior. He changed his identity in high school when he started his career as a model.

After the actor's identity was revealed, some other netizens came to his defense. One of them mentioned that Lee Shin Young is like any other student and doesn't understand where this bullying rumor came from.

The netizen who made the bullying accusation made another statement. "I just passed by, I don't know the details. It happened a long time ago, so I don't remember it well," he said.

Finally, after a while, the netizen who accused Lee Shin Young gave clarification. He admitted that he had forgotten something.

"After remembering, I think Lee Shin Young wasn't there. The bully had the same height and build, so I thought it was Lee Shin Young. So I don't think Lee Shin Young is the perpetrator of the violence. I didn't see them talking before, so it's my mistake. It seems like my memory was wrong. I regret making false accusations and causing misunderstandings that hurt many people," said the netizen.
