On the morning of October 17, Korean media caused a stir when they released a clip showing the image of female idol Leeseo (IVE) at Hanlim Arts High School. In the video, the youngest IVE member was forced by his friends to sign every page of a thick book and was not even allowed to sit down. The short clip is known to have quickly gone viral on Korean and international social networks, garnering up to 2 million views within a few hours.
The source added that classmates recorded the clip to make fun of Leeseo and then posted it on a forum specializing in harassing and insulting women to tarnish the honor of IVE members . As if that wasn’t enough, they also spread rumors that Leeseo is lazy and sleeps all the time when he comes to class.
The classmate forced Leeseo to write her name in a thick notebook, but didn’t even let the singer sit down
In addition, her classmate posted a clip of the 16-year-old singer on a forum that specialized in harassing and insulting women.
Currently, netizens are expressing their anger at the reprehensible actions of Leeseo’s classmates, while expressing hope that Starship Entertainment will soon take the necessary measures to protect “home chickens” and prevent incidents. The same thing will happen in the future.
At the same time, netizens criticized IVE’s youngest classmate: “It is clear that these people are bullying and mistreating Leeseo. They are really too much.” “They forced Leeseo to sign. Even if I put my name in the book, I wouldn’t even let them sit,” “Being a celebrity is really hard. If I don’t sign these days, I’ll be told I’m arrogant and I’ll be caught up in a hiring scandal.”
Fans are hoping that youngest member IVE’s representative will come forward soon and take action to prevent the singer from being mistreated and bullied by her classmates.
