Amid controversy over recent revelations that leading actors in popular dramas and movies were perpetrators of school violence in the past, actor Joo Ji-hoon confessed that he was bullied during his school days.

Ju Ji-hoon appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Sweet Brother Shin Dong-yeop’ on the 8th and said, “I did not participate in school violence when I was young, but rather was a victim.”

Joo Ji-hoon said that he lived in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul during his school days. “Cheonho-dong has a large population, so there were a lot of people in each grade,” he said. “So, how many Iljin must have been there?”

When the host asked, ‘Wasn’t there a temptation to go that way (Iljin) because of his size?’ Ju Ji-hoon responded, “Then I guess I could have come out here.”

“There were kids who really hit people,” he recalled. “They didn’t bully me because I was bigger, but when I got to middle school, they started fighting in groups.”

Joo Ji-hoon said, “It wasn’t that he wanted to confront me one-on-one because he didn’t like me, but he threatened me by saying, ‘I’m going to bring my brother.’” “I was scared.” “I still remember thinking he was a coward at the time,” he said.

He said, “My profession is an actor, but I’m so (lucky) that I didn’t do that when I was young.” He then repeatedly denied it, saying, “Not at all!” and waved his hands, adding, “Rather, I was bullied by those kids until I graduated from high school.”

Ju Ji-hoon will appear in the drama ‘Dominant Servant’, which will be released on Disney Plus on the 10th. Joo Jong is set in 2025 when Yoon Yoo (Han Hyo-joo), the CEO of BF, a biotechnology company that opened a new era of artificially cultured meat, and her bodyguard Woo Chae-woon (Ju Ji-hoon), a retired naval officer, who intentionally approached her, are caught up in mysterious deaths and incidents. This is a story that solves this problem.
