Director of K-drama 'The Glory' accused of school violence while he was studying in PH.

Ahead of the release of the finale of "The Glory," which deals with bullying, the director of the hit Korean drama has been accused of school violence which allegedly happened while he was studying in high school in the Philippines.

"The Glory" stars Song Hye-kyo as Moon Dong-eun who takes revenge against those who bullied her in high school. The finale will be released on March 10.

It is directed by Ahn Gil-ho (???), who is now facing accusations of school violence that he allegedly did while he was a senior high school student in the Philippines.

A Korean posted in an online Korean community on March 10, hours before the release of "The Glory," and accused Ahn Gil-ho of being a perpetrator of school violence.

Titled "'The Glory' drama PD [production director], perpetrator of school violence," the person said, "It happened in 1996 when I was studying abroad in the Philippines."

He added, "Because there were different schools and grades, even in the same Filipino Korean community, most of our classmates did not know who Ahn Gil-ho was."

"At that time, most of our classmates had grown up since childhood in the Philippines, so the concept of a strict senior-junior relationship in Korea was not great. Everyone was just an older brother, sister, or younger brother. However, after the incident (the assault) occurred in my second year of middle school, a big change began to occur in the school," he claimed.

The accuser said, "At the time, our grade started to know PD Ahn Gil-ho when he started dating a girl from our class. I only knew that he was an older brother playing at another school, but I didn't know much else."

"My classmates made fun of my female classmate about a high school senior dating a second-year middle school student, and Ahn Gil-ho, who found out about it, called two of our classmates to represent us," he added.

According to him, "He asked a senior in high school who went to the same international school to bring us, but when we refused several times, the senior in high school threatened us saying, "If I don't take you again this time, I'll die"...
