Learn more about Hyunjin

Hyunjin is a member of the famous k-pop group Stray Kids (SKZ), he is the main dancer and the visual of the group. Why the visual? It is simply due to his beauty, which is also where his nickname "Prince" comes from; it was given to him by his classmates. He studied at SOPA (Seoul Performing Arts High School).

He was discovered by his label while walking in the street with his mother, then in 2016 he joined the agency and was a trainee for 2 years before debuting with the other members of Stray Kids.

He was born in Seoul and is an only child. Since he was 16 years old, he has had a dog named Kami. He is known for his facial expressions that make his fans laugh a lot.
His specialties are rap and dance; notably, he performed a dance to the song "Play With Fire" which went viral.

Scandal: accused of school bullying

It all started when someone posted a message on social media accusing Hyunjin of bullying. The person claims to have been in the same class as Hyunjin and describes that period as "hell"; they add that Hyunjin was an insensitive person ready to fight.

Following this message, Hyunjin's agency, JYP, issued a statement to deny the accusation. Then, the testimony of a former teacher and a former classmate of Hyunjin appeared, assuring that he was not violent at school; on the contrary, he was very kind.

His former classmate adds that he knows the person who posted the message, named Hakwoo, and describes him as someone who habitually insults others, saying he himself is a bully and that he posted the message out of pure jealousy.

It was then thought that the problem was resolved and everything was back to normal, but in reality, that was not the case; things actually worsened.

A few days later, a second accusation surfaced. Someone claimed to have been harassed by Hyunjin, saying he spent the year mocking her; she also said Hyunjin had hit her because she played poorly during a soccer match: "Hyunjin caused me so much pain that I considered suicide, thinking about it makes me tremble with fear, it created a trauma for me."

JYP then conducted an investigation to discover the truth, but it is difficult to say whether these accusations are true or false because many of Hyunjin's former classmates and teachers defend him; however, they did state that Hyunjin may have had hurtful speech. Hyunjin then decided to meet the people who posted these messages, apologizing to them. He also published a letter of apology on his Instagram.

In conclusion, yes, Hyunjin had inappropriate words towards some of his former classmates, but there is no evidence confirming that he was violent with them. So following the scandal, he withdrew from the group before returning a few months later and resuming his activities.
