The legal representative for “The Glory” producing director (PD) Ahn Gil Ho has released a statement regarding his recent school bullying allegations.
Previously on March 10 ahead of the drama’s Part 2 premiere, school bullying allegations against PD Ahn Gil Ho began circulating via online communities. The anonymous person (hereafter “A”) alleged that while Ahn Gil Ho was studying abroad in the Philippines, Ahn Gil Ho threatened and assaulted A and their classmates after finding out that they teased his girlfriend at the time.
In response to the initial allegations, production company Studio Dragon responded that they will be looking into the situation, while Ahn Gil Ho denied the allegations, claiming that he has no memory of hitting anyone.
On March 12, PD Ahn Gil Ho’s lawyer Kim Mun Hui from law firm JIPYONG released the following statement:
"I am lawyer Kim Mun Hui of law firm JIPYONG who is representing director Ahn Gil Ho. We ask for your understating in that there was a slight delay in time from the initial report to announcing our stance.
Director Ahn Gil Ho had a girlfriend whom he started dating at the time while studying abroad in the Philippines in 1996, and when he heard that his girlfriend became subject to teasing at school due to him, he momentarily got emotional and gave another person an unforgettable wound.
[Director Ahn Gil Ho] asks for forgiveness from deep within his heart to those who were hurt by this incident. If given the opportunity, he would like the meet in person, or at least contact through phone, to convey his apology.
[Director Ahn Gil Ho] apologizes for causing controversy over an unfortunate incident".
Director Ahn Gil Ho also conveyed through his legal representatives to Sports Chosun that it took time to check the facts as the incident happened 27 years ago and that the people involved recalled the exact details differently. Especially as his memories of the incident were also faint, the director stated through his legal representative that he was afraid of distorting the incident.
“The Glory Part 2” was released earlier this week worldwide on March 10 at 5 p.m. KST.
If you’re a victim of bullying, the details are ingrained in your brain no matter how many years have passed.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true.
DeleteTaray naman pala sila to nagbadmouth sa gf ngayon bully pa si mr korean
DeleteBut he didnt bully anyone. It was stated that his gf at the time was teased, and siguro di siya magagalit kung harmless lang ginawa sa gf niya.
Delete@1:54am nag comment si gf at kinampihan nya yung victims. Turns out niloloko/inaasar sya ng mga friends nya for being in a relationship saka nagjojoke din sila about sa name ni PD pero hindi naman ganun kalala yung pang aasar but still naoffend si PD lalo na dun sa name calling. Ending ay binugbog sila for 2hrs ni PD at barkada nya.
DeleteIt was his gf who was bullied though. He only retaliated especially since the reason why they were teasing/bullying her is because she was dating him. I think we all know kung ano yung pang-aasar nila sa kanya.
Deletetaray, proud to be pinoy na naman. charot
ReplyDeletepangpa trending, malakas kasi ang pinoy magpa trending
DeleteNa mention nga n nmn ang philippines sa series eh, mahilig tlg mag pinoy baiting ung Netflix.
Deleteanyare? 1996 pa nangyare tapos inungkat pa? pang promo?
ReplyDeleteSK pa ba sakit nila yan. never forgive never forgetti. char
Delete1228 iba na ngayon, nagreresurface ang mga bullying incidents. noon naman kasi nobody truly talks. no one should make a bully richer
DeleteIronic daw kasi na director siya sa The Glory ba about revenge sa bullying, but siya before, bully rin.
Delete12:28 baks iba ang level of bullying sa SK. Kaya seryoso sila pag may accusations na ganyan.
Delete10:49 ironic lang na seryoso sila sa bullying pag involve ang mga public figure pero mas lumalala pa yung bullying ng mga studyante dun ngayon. never naman nagbago.
DeleteNaku hindi ako kakampi kung sino man yang “A” na yan. Baka naman bastos din yung biro at hindi naman sila close nung gf para biruin niya which is sakit ng maraming Filipino.
ReplyDeleteSa Korea nga tawag nila sa ating Pinoy unggoy. Panukso rin nila sa mga dark skin na korean ay Filipino 😆
Delete1:31 balita ko rin yan. Ewan ko ba sa mga kababayan natin at humaling na humaling sila sa mga koryano. E pare pareho lang naman itsura nila. (Salamat, Doc)
DeleteNot related pero sobrang ganda ng The Glory, I dont usually like drama kaso tinapos ko talaga yung 8 episodes kagabi haha
ReplyDeleteTinapos ko sa isang upuan ang buong season 2. Ang ganda shet.
DeleteTrue. Hindi rin ako mahilig sa kdrama but I watched nman once in a while lalo nat nasa top 10sa netflix.😂 Maganda nga ang glory, nakakainis yung tema pero ok sya.
DeleteI admit not a big fan of SHK’s acting pero ang galing nya dito ha. Sana mga ganitong roles na gawin nya wag mga noona dramas.
DeleteGusto ko rin ng isang doctor joo
DeleteKahit ako, di talaga fanng acting niya. May ilang scenes na nakukulangan pa rin ako, minsan di ko siya napapansin kasi ang galing talaga ng mga co-actors niya. Pero yung season 2 tinapos ko in 8 hours kaya puyat sa work kinabukasan 🤣
DeleteWeak acting lang naman si SHK. Same dead eyes and tuod acting.
DeleteNa-hype ang series due to the rest of the cast na legit talaga ang acting skills.
1:55 na stuck kasi siya sa romcom kaya hindi maappreciate kung may ibubuga pa ba siyang iba. and surprisingly may depth siya umarte pala. SHK is not overrated anymore. lol
DeleteMinamadali ko na ngayon Reborn Rich para masimulan ko na yang s2 ng Glory. Hahay puyaterns na naman
Delete6:04 parang si song hye kyo naman ang nag shine dun sa series. magaling siya dun baka sayo lang hindi.
Delete6:58 lol mag jump ka na sa last episode makikita mong walang silbe yung nangyare from 1-15 episode. hahaha
DeleteHaha 6:58 here. Natapos ko na RR at tapos nako ep5 ng Glory, paggising ko na ttapusin.
DeleteKoreans are really good with creating concepts. These stories can be adapted in Filipino. How come Filipino writers can't come up with stories like these? Nakakasawa na yung kabitserye na walang kawawaan.
Delete@5:18 Pareho tayo Sis. Tinapos ko in one night. Housewife naman ako kaya ayun sakit-sakitan naman ang peg ko the following day. LOL
DeleteAko lang ba ang di nagandahan sa The Glory??? It's ok but did not live up to the hype for me. Kulang ng thrill, ng mysytery, ng depth.
Delete1:32 ang KJ mo. Para kang yung kakilala ko nung college. Sabi niya "ako lang ba ang may ayaw kay Beyonce?" Lol. Gusto mo lang maiba eh.
DeleteJusmiyo kahit sobrang tagal na kinakalkal pa nila. Kalerki 😵💫😵💫😵💫
ReplyDeleteSo it was the other way around. Lakas pa naman mang asar ng Pinoy. Baluktot pa naman mag English majority of Koreans. Kung totoo man, kawawa yung GF nya that time tampuhan ng pang aasar.
ReplyDeleteAlam ko na kung ano yung pang-aasar nila dun sa gf nya kasi sabi it was because of him eh. Alam nyo yung big deal sa lalaking pinoy? I'm sure yun yun.
DeleteWhy is he even apologizing?
ReplyDeleteHe acknowledged that he did bully them back then.
DeleteAlam mo naman sa South Korea kasalanan mo or hindi need mo minsan mag apologize para matigil na controversy.
DeleteIt was his gf who was bullied so why is he apologizing?
Delete1:02 pinagsasabi mo, he recognized that an altercation happened. but he is not the bully one here, its A na nanunukso don sa gf nya dahil may bf na koreano or for whatever reason that is.
DeleteMas may hiya kse ang mga koreano. Sa pinas lang naman pakapalan mukha eh.
DeleteIt's not the same sa story ng the glory. Hindi rin innocent yung victim nya. Nauna na sila so parang gumanti sya.
ReplyDeleteWala ako bilib sa ganyan na pa accusation. Dapat may resibo like Dong Eun.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was talking to my mom yesterday I asked her bakit di sya umaattend ng HS reunion or alumni homecoming. Non lang nya kinwento na she was a victim of bullying. Class president pa daw nila nag bully sa kanya. This was 50 years ago pero until naiiyak pa daw sya pag naaalala nya yon. Why would she attend daw maaalala lang nya traumatic experience na yon. Kaya when I watched The Glory di ko ma blame yung protagonist kung bakit naging vengeful sya.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
DeleteDapat kasi uso na dati ang pagturo ng empathy sa mga bata tulad ngayon. Be mindful of your words because words can be hurtful. These bullies, they have no idea that the words they’ve uttered when they were a kid still has an impact on the person they’ve said it to.
DeleteSus akala ko pa naman ang director ang bully. Pa victim naman ang "A" and friends na yan. Sila pala nauna, syempre bilang bf, pinagtanggol lang ang gf. Tas, paiba-iba pa statements ng sangkot. Lol
ReplyDeleteako din binully nn elem days di lang classmates pati teachers. yong tipong old school teachers na namamala at masakit magsalita na to the extent na naririnig mo na pinagchichismisan ka nila ng co teachers nila. that 29 years ago. hanggang ngayon i resent them. ayoko sila makita
ReplyDeleteAko din, I was verbaly bullied by some students and teachers. One in particular ay araw-araw akong nilalait at pinapahiya sa klase. Sa akin lang sya ganun. Na depressed ako at nawalan ng ganang mag-aral nuon pero hindi ko pa alam ang depression that time.
DeleteSa isang PRIVATE SCHOOL, sinipa sipa ako ng mga kaklase kong mag pinsan na both kapitbahay ko pa. Di ko alam bakit nila ako sinipa. Tinutukso pa ako, sinasabi na lasenggero ang dad ko kahit hindi naman totoo. Wala man lang adult na nag awat sa mag pinsan. Babae nga pala ako. Lalaki mga nambully sa akin.
DeleteI even confronted the person who bullied me. Sabi niya, move on na daw ako. Ako pa daw immature.
i don't think it's bullying when it's actually self-defense. baka parang will smith incident ganon
ReplyDeleteIt is not bullying. Bullying must be repetitive, intentional and must have imbalance of power.
