On the 5th, Song Ha Yoon's legal representative, Ji-eum, stated, “A claims that he has been notified and is not under arrest, but our legal representative clearly confirmed the notification and clarified his position,” adding, "As a result of inquiries by the investigative agency regarding Mr. A's rebuttal, the investigative agency in charge has stated that they do not understand Mr. A's position. As a result, on July 3rd, 2025, we contacted Mr. A again and informed him that 'it is correct that he has been placed on the wanted list, that the police will be notified when he enters the country, that he must appear before the police, and that if he does not respond to the investigation despite his entry, an arrest warrant may be issued for him. Mr. A responded that he had again communicated the contents of the report to the police.
Last April, through JTBC's “Case Squad Leader,” Mr. A provided information that he had been bullied by Song Ha Yoon20 years ago. At the time, Song Ha Yoon, through his agency, refuted that all the relevant details were not true.
However, Song Ha Yoon's side later clarified its position that it had filed a criminal complaint against Mr. A for the first time in a year after the allegations were made, but Mr. A responded by stating that the two schools that Song Ha Yoon attended belonged to the same school district and that it was impossible to transfer to another school simply by changing school districts, and that it would consider responding to the allegations without changing its stance. There are some indications that they would like to do so.

Good afternoon. My name is Gium, the legal representative of actor Song Ha Yoon.
We have recently informed actor Song Ha Yoon's representative of the legal actions taken in relation to the issue of school violence.

A claims that he has been placed under a Notice of Appointment and is not wanted, but our legal firm has clearly reviewed the Notice and clarified our position.
