According to a Star News report, an alleged former classmate of Cha Junho posted on Twitter about how the idol bullied him when he was on 5th grade, but Woollim Entertainment strongly denied the accusation and defended their artist from it.
The former X1 member gained popularity after winning a position in Mnet’s Produce X 101 survival show to debut a boy group. -HallyuLife.com
