1. [+2,104, -29] But why are you canceling the lawsuit~~ You should be going hard against people who spread such false rumors about you as a warning to others who will try this again...
2. [+892, -39] I actually think he should be going hard. So many people are already assuming that he's a school bully now, and the fact that the OP admitted that they made up the rumors and begged for forgiveness just sounds like Jo Byung Kyu paid him off. If anyone read OP's original post, they'd be able to know that it's not even really revealing anything. The OP was thinking things up all on their own and making their own false judgments, but all that was enough to brand Jo Byung Kyu as a bully. Look at some of the comments here, people are already assuming that Jo Byung Kyu paid him off because he's canceling the lawsuit.
3. [+524, -75] What a terrible person.. Jo Byung Kyu's image has already dropped. People always care when controversies first erupt but never when clarifications like this are posted. Everyone~~ Jo Byung Kyu's school bullying rumors were made up~~~ the OP turned themselves in~~~!!!
4. [+374, -15] Celebrities need to realize that dropping lawsuits like this helps no one. If anything, it just encourages more criminals to commit the same crimes. I understand that it's a headache having to go in and out of the police station and court to see the lawsuits through so it's easier to just cancel it in the name of forgiveness but this is what criminals use to spread more hate comments and rumors. There needs to be new laws made to help these people take the right legal action without having to be there for every step of the process.
5. [+364, -74] His acting was great in 'The Uncanny Counter', I hope to see him again a new drama soon~
6. [+218, -18] From the perspective of his agency, I feel like going through with the lawsuit would've helped his image more... In the eyes of the average person, this just looks like he paid the OP off and settled.
7. [+178, -44] Something smells fishy about how fast the agency reacted to this. How much did you pay the OP off?
8. [+84, -8] You're just going to... forgive them Well that smells fishy...
9. [+65, -5] Forgive them? You're all so naive ㅋ
