Go Min-si made her quiet return to social media on November 3, posting for the first time since addressing her school bullying investigation in August. Although the post contained no photos of herself or any personal captions, fans celebrated her reappearance, flooding her comments section with words of encouragement.
One user, however, claimed that after leaving a simple question under Go Min-si’s new post, they discovered they had been blocked by the actress.
In screenshots shared online via theqoo, the fan explained that they merely asked about the progress of Go Min-si’s case: “I saw that Go Min-si uploaded a picture of flowers, and it made me think maybe she won her case. So I left a comment asking, ‘Unnie, did the investigation go well?’ I wasn’t trolling or being rude — I’m actually her fan and wanted to see her come back if she was innocent.”
The fan included evidence showing Go Min-si’s Instagram page displaying “No posts yet,” a typical indication of being blocked.
Following the claim, netizens became deeply divided over who was in the wrong. Some argued that Go Min-si overreacted, saying a simple question shouldn’t have warranted such a response. Others, however, defended the actress’s decision, emphasizing that she has every right to protect her peace, especially amid a sensitive and public investigation.
Previously, on August 30, Go Min-si shared her perspective, admitting, “I know better than anyone that I was a student who enjoyed rebellious behavior during my teenage years. I’ve regretted those days, and I’ve tried to live a better life with sincerity, even if not perfectly.” She explained that she remained silent until now because she was “waiting for the results of the investigation.”
While some fans appreciated her honesty, others were disappointed, arguing that her response lacked clear evidence or a strong denial. Critics also noted that her choice of words — particularly describing her past as mere “rebellion” (일탈) — reignited controversy.
Since the allegations surfaced in May, Go Min-si’s career has faced major setbacks. She was dropped from the upcoming drama Grand Galaxy Hotel, and her name was removed from the film The World of Love. Advertising deals were also impacted, with brands like Lego Korea quietly excluding her from campaigns. Currently, her only confirmed project is the variety show Perfect Job.
Online communities quickly recirculated photos from her teenage years, showing her wearing heavy makeup and drinking alcohol with friends. Many criticized her explanation, commenting, “Skipping class or eating snacks could be called rebellion, but underage drinking is beyond that.”
Supporters, however, argued that unless clear evidence of school bullying victims emerges, her past behavior alone should not end her career. Some pointed out parallels with Nana, the former After School member, who faced “bully” rumors after old photos resurfaced but denied wrongdoing. On Radio Star in 2013, Nana clarified, “I went to school freely, but I never did bad things. I don’t regret having fun back then.”
The comparisons to Nana highlight the ongoing debate: Supporters say Go Min-si should be allowed to continue her career if no direct victims step forward. Critics argue that simply being labeled a “school bully” creates fear among peers, making it inappropriate for her to remain a beloved public figure.
For now, the investigation results have not been released, leaving Go Min-si’s career in limbo. Industry insiders note that her choice of words may have deepened the divide in public opinion: “Her ‘rebellion’ comment clashed with the resurfaced photos, making the public even more skeptical.”
As attention intensifies, the outcome of the investigation will likely determine whether Go Min-si can return to the spotlight — or if the controversy will mark a turning point in her career.
