South Korean actress Park Hye-soo has re-emerged at the Busan International Film Festival (Biff) following a school bullying scandal that caused the 27-year-old actress to take a break from public activities for a year and eight months.

According to South Korean news outlets, she appeared at a panel discussion session with audiences for her film The Dream Songs.

Park was accused of bullying in February 2021 by former schoolmates, who say the star verbally abused and physically assaulted them in their schooling days. The Hello, My Twenties! (2016 to 2017) actress has denied the allegations. Her agency has also announced that it will take legal action against those who have spread malicious rumours. 

As a result of the allegations, a romance drama starring Park titled Dear. M, which was supposed to debut in February 2021, was postponed and aired only in June 2022. 

According to news outlet Korea JoongAng Daily, Park addressed the school bullying allegations when she appeared at the film festival, where she was welcomed with warm applause.
