SA ALLEGATIONS
Back in September, an anonymous account came out with a story that they had been sexually assaulted by Kim Woojin. Immediately the post began getting attention and over the next days, more accounts came out with stories. However, their stories had major plot holes and some even out right admitted to lying by themselves. Others were proven to be lying as well as fans did research about the claims and circumstances of events.
It was revealed that the accusers were actually a group of Brazilian stays who hated Woojin because he left Stray Kids at an inconvenient time. All accusations were tied back to them and none offered enough evidence to prove their accusation was true and the evidence that was provided was fabricated. The link below will take you to an Instagram post that debunks all allegations.
Eventually, Woojin's company 10x Entertainment released several statements. 3 of them were debunking the main allegation and the other announced they would be taking legal action against people who continued to spread misinformation about Kim Woojin. Here are links to all posts made by 10x Entertainment about the situation.

And, no he didn't do anything inappropriate while watching Chaeryoung. That's absolutely absurd and really shows the lengths people will go to make him look like a bad person.
BULLYING RUMORS
After the rumors began, many stays began to make videos about Woojin and his relationship with Stray Kids members. Said videos were compilations of interactions that Woojin had with other members that made Woojin out to be a bully. In reality, the clips were just normal rough playing (something that Stray Kids do a lot) or complete accidents that were taken out of context. None of the clips used to promote their "Woojin bullied Stray Kids" agenda ever raised any suspicion when he was a member, in fact some of them were turned into fandom jokes back then.
It's worth pointing out that most of these videos are heavily edited as well. Not only are the clips muted, they also incorporate eerie music to manipulate the audience into feeling uncomfortable. If you take out the manipulative editing, you can tell most of the clips are just accidents or jokes.
So, no, he never bullied Stray Kids. The members viewed him as a parental figure and he cared for them too. In fact, in one of Woojin's vlogs, you can see a staff member holding an 'I am You' photocard. If Woojin and Stray Kids really left of bad terms, he wouldn't have kept memorabilia of them.
A common rebuttal for this is that Stray Kids never bring him up anymore, but have you ever thought about what would happen if they did? It would've caused fans to miss ot9 instead of accepting the fact that they are 8 members now, so obviously they aren't going to talk about him.
COMPANY RUMORS
...
There are many rumors regarding 10x Entertainment and Woojin's status in the music industry. It was rumored that Woojin had been blacklisted by JYP meaning he couldn't sign to another agency as no one would take him, which is completely false. He was never blacklisted by JYP. In fact, in JYP's statement regarding Woojin leaving, the company asks stays to "support him on his new path". He wasn't kicked out, either. It clearly states that he terminated his own exclusive contract due to personal circumstances. Here is the letter for reference.
People also believed that Woojin fabricated his entire company as well, going as far as to copy the logo of a furniture store to make it seem legitimate. However, the company is 100% real. Woojin is officially registered as an artist on Naver under the company, which would not be possible if he was blacklisted by the way. 10x Entertainment also has a physical address proving that a company building does exist. Not to mention, the company uploads vlogs, covers, and audio logs daily on Youtube and Vlive. There's no denying that his company is real.
STATEMENT RUMORS
...
A major problem people had with Woojin was his statement. People claimed that while addressing the allegations, he promoted his solo. That is not the case. There was an error in translation due to the source of translation not being credible/accurate. People rushed to get his statement, so they used automatic translators like Google Translate. This caused some parts of his statement to be misinterpreted which is ultimately how the rumor was started. He simply explained that he had joined a company and started lessons. He needed to do this because we were not aware of the company before hand and in order for them to take action, they must be introduced. Here are some of the mistranslations and what they actually mean.
