[TV Daily, Kim Ji-ha] Choi Tae-woong, a member of the group Bz-Boys, has strongly denied allegations of being a school violence perpetrator. On the 24th, he shared his legal representative's official statement through his SNS. The legal representative pointed out that YouTuber NareumTV posted a video on Instagram and TikTok alleging that an idol who was eliminated after appearing on 'Produce 101' had committed school bullying in elementary school, and that this suspicion concerns Choi Tae-woong. They stated that this claim is 'clearly a falsehood.'

Allegations related to school violence are a particularly sensitive topic in the entertainment industry, necessitating a deep understanding of the victims' situations and scars. Choi Tae-woong's strong rebuttal in the face of serious defamation is commendable, especially as he seeks to protect his name. As fans and the public keenly observe, it will be interesting to see how his response unfolds in the coming days.
