Yoon Son-Ha’s Son Bullying Incident
The latest news about Yoon Son-ha is that her son was involved in a school bullying incident. It happened in 2017 and has affected her greatly. It was said that her son, who goes to the private elementary school Soongeui Elementary School in Seoul, went on a school trip outside Seoul with his fellow third-grade classmates. During the school trip, it was said that her son, along with some of his mates, was bullying a child by wrapping him with blankets and then repeatedly hitting him with a baseball bat. Not only that, but the child was also forced to drink banana milk that has been infused with body wash liquid by Yoon Son-ha’s child. Upon hearing about the incident, Yoon Son-ha and her agency were quick to respond. Immediately, CL&COMPANY, Yoon Son-ha’s entertainment agency, released a statement saying that the said child had been pushed under layers of blankets for only a few seconds and that they were not hitting him with a baseball bat but with a plastic stick covered with styrofoam, the kind that children usually play with. They clarified that it was not a real baseball bat that can harm the child. Moreover, Yoon Son-ha’s agency also explained that Yoon Son-ha’s son and his friends were just playing around with cleaning products. They were trying to make it look like banana milk, and the victim was just tasting it a little and then spit it out. It was all meant to be a joke between ten-year-old children. Besides the statement from CL&COMPANY, Yoon Son-ha also gave a personal statement regarding this incident, which says: “As the mother of a child first and foremost, and as a fellow human, I know that all children are precious to their parents, as mine is to me. No matter what the truth is, I never once took this incident lightly and I was very concerned for the welfare of the child in question and the feelings of his parents. I have no intention of acting to protect my status as a celebrity – in fact, my job has often caused both me and my child suffering. However, the problems of adults are not worth considering. The victimized student and the students who have been accused as attackers are all precious children who have barely turned the age of ten. My husband and I will work hard to become parents that can heal the scars of these children and help them grow up healthy and well. I apologize to everyone and will work to improve myself as a mother and as a public figure.” Even though Yoon Son-ha tried to clarify the rumor, the public was not on her side. At that time, she was filming The Best Hit or Hit the Top, and angry people who sympathized with the victim had demanded Yoon Son-ha be removed from the drama. However, The Best Hit’s production team responded by saying that they do not want to remove Yoon Son-ha from the drama, seeing that it was her private business. Meanwhile, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education stated that they were going to take appropriate measures in response to the incident. On the next day of her first statement, Yoon Son-ha made a second statement which said: “To the family of the hurt child and everyone at the school, we apologize for what happened at the school trip. In dealing with this incident, we apologize for thinking of our family first. Our first response was to make excuses and we are deeply reflecting on that mistake. So that our poor responses will not cause more harm to the victims, we will participate in the investigation with more care in the future.” This statement demonstrated her regret of how she tried to defend her son first rather than just simply apologize in the first place. A few months later, following this incident, there was a rumor that said Yoon Son-ha and her family are going to emigrate to Canada. It was said that due to the bullying incident, Yoon Son-ha’s son cannot have a normal school life, so the family will move to Canada. It said that they had even finished the legal processes of emigration. In response to this rumor, CL&COMPANY release a statement that said: “It is true that she is going to Canada with her son for personal reasons, but she is not thinking of moving there. Because it’s for personal reasons, it’s difficult to issue an exact statement about this. We’re aware of the many stories going around about how she’s going to settle down in Canada, but they’re simply not true.” In spite of CL&COMPANY’s earlier statement that Yoon Son-ha’s rumor of moving to Canada is not true, the entertainment agency, later confessed that the rumor is actually true. CL&COMPANY stated that Yoon Son-ha and her son are going to live in Canada until her son finishes high school there.
