Wow ㅁㅊ pulled out of peak time due to the school violence controversy

He explained it in an overwhelmed and trembling voice.
I was getting ready for a 12pm show on Peak Time when a post accusing me of school violence was uploaded and I left the show. I wanted to prove that it wasn’t true, but many had already formed that image of school violence about me. After I left the show, I spent a lot of time feeling lost. To prove my innocence I reported them and fought for about a year. For now things have resolved themselves perfectly and I have been acquitted.
