The Uncanny Counter actor Jo Byung Gyu has made his official statement regarding his latest school bullying rumor, denying it and promising legal action against the person who started it.
Earlier in the day, Jo Byung Gyu was accused of bullying a classmate while he was studying in New Zealand, having a terrible attitude, and verbal abuse. However, his agency HB Entertainment has come out to state that all of the rumors are false, and promised strict legal action to protect Jo Byung Gyu.
