According to 'Dispatch', the confirmed victims of Kim Hiera's assault now number three. (A, B, C, and D frequently changed their stories and were excluded from this list.)
Kim Hiera has apologized to the three victims a total of seven times: once over the phone to all three, met two in person to apologize, and issued a public statement, followed by another round of apologies to two of them.
The essence of "school violence" is assault. However, when A and B stepped forward, they distorted the core issue, attempting false interviews and tarnishing the victims.
'Dispatch' said it aims to return to the essence of the school violence controversy.
◆ Apologies
In May 2023, Kim Hiera was busy.
On May 15th, Kim Hiera met with A. The agency reached out to A first, and Kim Hiera joined midway. An insider from the agency described the atmosphere as surreal, saying, "It seems like the informant and the directors are playing around. If the reporter could just tell them not to worry, they'd be convinced."
On the 17th, Kim Hiera approached 'Dispatch', refuting the claims made by A, B, C, and D. She then requested the article be delayed, saying, "A has also changed their mind and forgiven me."
From the 19th, Kim Hiera sought out ①②③, none of whom were 'Dispatch' informants. She found their numbers, called them, met them, and apologized.
◆ Crackdown
In September 2023, Kim Hiera was 'again' busy.
On the early morning of September 8th, she sent text messages to the victims. This was the day after she posted her statement on Instagram, hoping there were "no misunderstandings."
Perhaps she was concerned about her initial statement, which denied any school violence. She later posted a new statement, admitting to some of the allegations.
◆ Scratches
Of course, one victim still refuses to forgive. This was the person Kim Hiera most wanted to apologize to and meet.
However, this victim refused to make time. They saw Kim Hiera's (no assault) statement and contacted her, questioning the truth of the events.
As one acquaintance said, "Kim Hiera knew about the investigation and was the first to find out this friend's contact. Why was she so eager to meet? It's a matter of common sense. She's not confident..."
◆ Comments
What's the situation for this group of victims?
"Kim Hiera cried (in May). She didn't admit to everything. She also said she 'doesn't remember and is sorry'. But why did she contact us first? We didn't want to argue anymore." (Victim)
These victims accepted Kim Hiera's apology. They even wished her well in her acting career. If Kim Hiera hadn't posted her statement (like that), nothing would have come to light.
What these victims want is acknowledgment. They hope she stops making excuses like "there was no school violence," "I didn't behave like a bully," and "I never maliciously harmed anyone."
'Dispatch' claims that it found a comment posted by a victim's family member on an article about Kim Hiera from 201X, hinting at school violence. (The family member's identity was confirmed.)
The comment read: "It's funny how people like this hide their past and continue to work. They talk about standing up for the weak in interviews. I'll speak up when she becomes more famous."
The victim said, "I told my family (years ago) about the school violence I experienced. My family saw an article from 201X. They couldn't contain their anger and commented."
"It's harder than I thought to reveal the truth. Why do third parties step in to tarnish and belittle the victims? They weren't the ones who were harmed, so what do they know?" (Victim)
Denying it doesn't make it untrue. We hope there's no more harm or indifference. The victims are still anxious due to distortions, threats, and pressure.
