Go Min Si's school bullying controversy explained: Is her new Netflix K-drama being axed?
Actor Go Min Si is currently facing backlash after an anonymous post accused her of being a bully back in middle school. The post, titled 'We are the victims of actor A's school violence,' popped up on South Korea's online community, claiming the actor not only extorted money from her classmates but also verbally abused them, and hounded the differently abled. The actor, who is currently starring in Netflix's Tastefully Yours, alongside Kang Ha Neul, responded fiercely to the allegations, slamming them as false and baseless. However, the author of the post claimed that even the teachers and fellow classmates are aware of those incidents. The post further demanded that the actor step away from the spotlight. This comes ahead of Go Min Si's next big project, Perfect Job.

Along with actors such as Seo Ye Ji to Kim Hieora, multiple K-pop stars have been accused of bullying, the most recent being Go Min Si, whose global popularity was soaring with big Netflix hits. The post's author claimed they were a middle school classmate from Daejeon and, without mentioning the actor's stage name, identified her using her old name along with other clues like age and past shows. 'I don't want any apology or compensation,' the author wrote, adding that Go's aggressive behaviour was well known to teachers as well. 'What I want is for this actor to end her public activities permanently so no further victims are created,' the post read, as translated by The Korea Times. The post further added, 'There's no need for a belated, performative apology to avoid contract disputes. If the actor truly feels remorse, she should step away from the spotlight and live the rest of her life sincerely regretting her past actions.'

'We ask that people refrain from spreading unverified rumours and speculative reports, as they can cause significant harm not only to the actor but also to her family,' the agency said. They further revealed they are seeking legal action on both civil and criminal grounds. 'We express our deep concern and regret that malicious posts based on false information are damaging the reputation of our agency's actor. We appointed a legal representative today and have begun reviewing and taking legal action, both civil and criminal.' Go Min Si debuted in 2017 with the SBS drama My Sassy Girl and has since become a household name with shows like Sweet Home, The Frog, The Witch and Smugglers. This is not the first time the actor has been embroiled in a controversy. Back in March 2021, photos showed her entering an adult entertainment venue and drinking when she was still underage. At the time, she dismissed the rumours as a simple youthful mistake and apologised. In light of the new controversy, Netflix reportedly informed the South Korean media outlet OSEN that Go Min Si is continuing with her upcoming project Perfect Job as planned, with no changes to her filming schedule.

Go Min Si, often celebrated for her pure image, radiant positivity, and powerful performances, now finds herself at the center of a storm. Allegations have surfaced online accusing her of school bullying, extortion, and underage drinking—claims that have cast a shadow over her otherwise bright reputation.

The production team emphasized there would be no changes or delays in filming due to the ongoing controversy. What Are the Allegations Against Go Min Si? The situation ignited after a post appeared on an online community titled, 'We Are Victims of School Violence by Actress Go XX.' The anonymous post accused the individual, later implied to be Go Min Si, of bullying classmates, mocking students with disabilities, stealing, and engaging in underage drinking during her middle school years. Notably, the post stated that the accusers were not seeking an apology or monetary compensation, but instead a complete halt to Go Min Si's career to prevent what they called "further harm." How Did Go Min Si's Agency Respond? On May 26, a representative from Go Min Si's agency addressed the circulating rumors in an interview with OSEN. They firmly denied the allegations, stating, 'We have thoroughly verified the claims of school violence posted online. After confirmation with the actress, we concluded the accusations are completely unfounded.' They called the allegations 'Groundless.' Public Reaction: A House Divided Reactions on social media, especially on platforms like The Qoo, remain split. Some netizens express disappointment and call for further investigation, while others defend the actress, pointing out the lack of concrete evidence and the suspicious timing of the claims. Go Min Si's agency vows legal action if the allegations further intensify.

Perfect Job on OTT: Netflix announces mystery horror fantasy series ft. Lee Jae-wook & Ko Min-si; Know details
Netflix just dropped some seriously cool news - a new Korean show is in the works, and it's called Perfect Job. It's got mystery, horror, fantasy, and a top-notch cast. Think: creepy job offers, a spooky boss, and lots of secrets waiting to unfold. What's Perfect Job all about? The main guy is Hyuk-jun, played by Lee Jae-wook (yep, the one from Alchemy of Souls). He's just a regular young man trying to earn some cash when he stumbles upon a part-time job that pays 50 times the usual hourly rate. Sounds like a dream, right? Not quite. The job is offered by a strange agency called 'Spyder Human Resource Center', and from the moment he signs up, weird stuff starts happening. Like, paranormal activity. Suddenly, this 'perfect job' turns into a nightmare, and Hyuk-jun's stuck right in the middle of it. Who else is in Perfect Job? Ko Min-si (Sweet Home, Youth of May) plays Yeon-joo, a no-nonsense investigator who's digging into what's really going on at this creepy company. Kim Min-ha (Pachinko) plays Ji-yoon, Hyuk-jun's brave younger sister. She's the type who says, 'Poverty's scarier than ghosts,' and honestly, mood. Lee Hee-jun (Badland Hunters) is the mysterious boss known only as Mr. S - the guy handing out the spooky job offers. Who's behind it? Perfect Job is directed by Kim Da-min, and the script is written by the people who worked on Urban Myths and Concrete Utopia. That means it's in very good hands. The executive producer is Han Jun-hee, known for D.P., which was a big hit on Netflix. Perfect Job is coming soon to Netflix. It's about scary jobs, family bonds, and figuring out whether some opportunities are too good to be true. (Spoiler: they usually are.) If you're into spooky mysteries with a bit of fantasy and great Korean storytelling, this one's for you. Stay tuned for more information on this!
