There is really three ways this can play out. Nam Joo Hyuk is now facing a second allegation of school era bullying, namely in high school.

Ultimately to clear his name they agency probably has to take legal action, and if there is any veracity in the claims then it either can admit and apologize or simply deny deny deny until people forget and move on to the next scandal. Either way this absolutely will impact his reputation unless there is a definitely legal or factual evidence acceptable to the netizens that clears his name. For now his side claims these are false allegations and the second accuser brought only allegations without additional accompanying documentation other than high school yearbook pictures showing the accuser likely did go to school with Nam Joo Hyuk.
