Actress Cha Ye-ryun has again denied allegations of school violence, according to 조선일보, even as a separate complaint about her behavior at a Cheongdam-dong hair salon was reported by 뉴스1. The broadcaster also reports that a group-buying marketing campaign tied to her has been suspended entirely amid the fallout.
The salon claim, also covered by 한국경제, alleges that Cha took a hair dryer from staff and behaved irritably, with one account describing an employee being treated poorly. These are allegations reported by the outlets; Cha's response to the salon claim was not detailed in the available material.
The school violence dispute has widened into a legal discussion. 뉴시스 reported that a lawyer issued a warning in connection with the allegations, addressing the question of whether not naming a person shields someone from liability. 조선일보 characterized Cha as repeatedly rejecting the bullying claims while public statements around the case remain divided.
The suspension of the group-buying promotion, reported by 조선일보, marks a commercial consequence of the controversy. The available reporting does not specify which products were involved or how long the pause will last.
Attention now turns to whether Cha will issue further clarification, as 조선일보's headline raises, and whether the salon allegation draws a direct response from her or her representatives.
