However, as reported by Allkpop tabloid, a year after that incident, it was revealed that Nam Joo Hyuk had met his former classmate who accused him of bullying to seek resolution but could not come to an agreement due to differing recollection of the incidents that occurred. On April 26, said former classmate, 'A' released an ambiguous video through famous entertainment YouTuber and journalist Lee Jin Ho.

The video shows 'A' (wearing white) sparring with a male classmate in the classroom. 'A' was told to kick by other students who were watching, but fell while attempting a kick, leading to laughter from the others. Lee Jin Ho revealed in the YouTube video that 'A' felt pressured to participate in the sparring and entertain the other students, which led to him falling while kicking the air.

'A' also claimed to have heard Nam Joo Hyuk's voice among the students who encouraged the fight. Additionally, Lee Jin Ho also notes that this is an ambiguous video as it’s quite dark and Nam Joo Hyuk's face was not directly captured. Meanwhile, Nam Joo Hyuk had previously claimed that he was not at the sparring site. His agency had also debunked the "groundless" allegations.
