Thanks, Nam Joo-hyuk – the Queen‑Bee Bully Myth is Out the Window
What happened? The 28‑year‑old star‑kid has been under fire after two anonymous folks claimed that he was a schoolyard tyrant back in middle and high school. Their names? A mystery. Their story? A smash‑bang of accusations about unspeakably “run‑errands‑and‑wrestle” bullying and phone‑theft chaos.
But the buzz took a sharp reverse twist thanks to Dispatch on July 5th, when they sat down with 18 former classmates and two teachers—teacher confessions included, for a full makeover.
Classroom Truth Check
- Shin, H, & L: Linked‑in whisper‑style vocal opponents; they’re all about “no bully culture” and saw only strict, ordinary discipline.
- Y1: Added the “bullying would look weird” angle.
- L (Nam’s ex‑classmate): “Wrestling? Abel jokes?” He confirmed that he passed the “nit‑pick the bully” game. He said, “I’d have had to actually forced a fight—how does that even happen?” His eyebrows are all high.
- Mobile phone mystery: Turns out it wasn’t Nam but another quacky student who snapped a teacher’s phone to pull a quick payment—a classic prank that almost looks like cyber‑bullying.
Teacher Voices
- Park Tae‑gyu: “We still had corporal punishment. Female teachers had rods. The school was as disciplined as a drill sergeant, so where’s the bully? Nothing.” He vowed he’d risk his teaching career to keep the truth front and center.
- Hong Seong‑man: “Only watched… him be late. He walked the squad, jumped, jumped. There was no fight, no drama; just some incompetent punctuality.”
The Bottom Line
Sixty‑deep Dive into dispatch statements revealed that the claims do not hold water. Nam was never pulling punches, nor was he the phantom bull who’d sneak a phone. All of this is resolved by evidence from peers, teachers and a real-life incident of misdirected blame.
What Do Fans Think?
With Nam’s recent blockbuster Romance Hit Twenty Five Twenty One on the global stage, his role as Confidant (Korean drama) cast him into the light—without any dark rumors. Fans feel a wave of relief, and the story fades into the background—only a faint murmur of old school drama in the shadow of his starring success.
Bottom line: the “bully” label is just a bad rumor that didn’t survive the alumni fact‑check. Nam Joo‑hyuk remains as lovely a star as ever—or at least as `non‑bullying`.
