K-drama actor Jo Byung-gyu, who has vehemently denied being a school bully since being accused in February, has received an apology letter from one of his accusers.

His management agency, HB Entertainment, released a statement on Tuesday (July 27): "We took legal action against those who wrote posts which sparked a baseless bullying controversy. During a police investigation, the accuser admitted that his post was a fabrication and recently sent us an apology letter."
