just thought of this, but why can’t cube just pay some ex class mates to refute the bullying rumours
From soojin's own admittance n denial of being a bully, maybe she burned all the bridges to any possible defenders by being a Lindsey-like atypical high school teen student (from the one n only season of freaks n geeks tv show), which doesnt absolutely prove if she was or wasnt a bully, but not having a close knit grp of friends who will come to ur defense (cos you pissed them off in high school by smoking n hanging out with smokers) doesnt prove anything either.
Unless theres proof soojin stole/borrowed stuff without returning, maybe soojin dint do all the bad stuff she's been accused of? If even one leg of the accusations isnt solid, shd we believe the worst of soojin? Soojin admits smoking, why would she admit it if the bullying/stealing/borrowing without returning also occurred?
Wouldnt you double down on ur defense without admitting anything if you were guilty n afraid of admitting it? I do judge idols from how they respond to accusations, if they admit to their actions without attacking accusers- i hv hope they arent 100% terrible ppl n possibly learn sth on how to behave n treat ppl better.
If they double down n attack accusers without back up for their attacks/defense then i start thinking hmm, maybe the person who attacks an accuser isnt sympathysing with victims of bullying/abuse/harassment/mistreatment, n shd stay quiet without attacking the accusers n further worsening their situation(both the victim/accuser n the bully/accused).
PS I 100% dont get the reference to juice in Soojin's translated statement. Wats it mean?
