South Korean Drama School Director Allegedly Continued Teaching After Sexual Assault Accusations Shocking Video Reveals
“Sexual relations did not occur at all. There were various circumstances before and after the misunderstood video.”
In interrogation, the man completely denies the allegations, reversing his previous statements.
On June 17th, South Korea’s TV station ‘JTBC’ aired a shocking program. It reported that a famous actor running a drama school, Actor A, continued teaching students while facing accusations of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old student during acting lessons. A has been indicted for violating laws protecting minors, but remains at home without detention, continuing to teach students.
“According to the program, Representative A of the school is a well-known actor in South Korea with award-winning roles. The incident allegedly occurred last October. A reportedly invited three female students who had prepared a birthday present to his home for drinks. Afterward, it is said that he sent the other two students home, leaving only Student B, who was 18 years old at the time and is the alleged victim.” (From a Korean newspaper reporter)
The program featured B’s father, but A’s attitude reportedly changed drastically.
“According to B’s father, B’s family was financially struggling and had fallen about three months behind in tuition payments for drama school. When A and B were alone, A allegedly said to B, ‘If you sleep with me, you won’t have to pay the tuition,’ leading to suspicion of sexual assault. Immediately afterward, B, who was victimized, filmed A’s behavior. The footage shown on the program captured the horrifying scene.
A knelt down in underwear, apologizing to B and pleading, ‘I’m truly sorry today. I liked you. Can’t you forgive me just once?’ A also reportedly apologized to B’s father, asking, ‘What can I do to be forgiven?'” (Same source)
However, when the investigation by law enforcement began, A reportedly completely changed his attitude, as introduced at the beginning. He began to vehemently deny the allegations.
While facing allegations of sexual assault against a former student, the well-known actor is said to continue teaching at his own drama school. B, who was victimized, submitted the clothes worn on the day of the incident as evidence to the authorities. Since A’s DNA was detected, the prosecution intends to continue the investigation.
