Former APRIL member and actress Lee Na Eun has shared her feelings about the school bullying controversy that has followed her for years.

In a recent video by popular travel YouTuber KwakTube, she talked about the misunderstandings and how many people blocked her because of it.

On September 16, KwakTube posted a video titled “My First Romantic Week in Italy – Italy” on his YouTube channel, featuring Lee Na Eun. During the video, KwakTube opened up to her about a past misunderstanding.

“I feel sorry about something,” KwakTube said. “When people around me talked about school violence, I became sensitive. I even blocked you (Lee Na Eun) after reading about it. Later, I found out that it wasn’t true, but by then, you already knew I blocked you. I’ve felt guilty about it ever since.”

Lee Na Eun responded, “We’ve met a few times since then, haven’t we? I used to joke about you blocking me, but it did hurt. I was sad because so many people did the same. It was all a misunderstanding, and it upset me,” she shared. “But I’m not hurt anymore. I’ve learned that there are too many people who don’t know the real me.”

KwakTube expressed his regret, saying, “I only found out the truth later, but there weren’t many articles clearing things up.”

Lee Na Eun first faced allegations of bullying in 2020, with claims that former APRIL member Lee Hyun Joo had been mistreated by the group. While Lee Na Eun and other members denied the accusations, the issue led to the disbandment of APRIL.

Lee Na Eun was later cleared of the bullying accusations after it was found that the person who spread the rumors had lied. Despite this, the controversy impacted her career. She signed with Namoo Actors in 2022 and is now focusing on her acting career, with her next project being the drama Eye Shopping.

Earlier this year, Lee Na Eun was also in the spotlight due to dating rumors with soccer player Lee Kang In.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
