The Park Shi Hoo and K rape allegation investigation continues to develop in ways that are absolutely baffling. I’m really neutral towards Park Shi Hoo as an actor and entertainer prior to this scandal breaking, so my coverage of the developments is neither motivated by liking him or disliking him. I am, however, really perturbed by everything surrounding this unfolding situation. The current situation stands at the case staying at the Seoul Seobu (Western) Police Station, with the police not granting Park Shi Hoo’s current lawyer’s request to transfer it to the Gangnam police station. After missing two interview dates, a summons to appear for an interview on March 1 has been issued to Park Shi Hoo and the police have stated that they will issue an arrest warrant if he doesn’t show up. Park Shi Hoo asked for a deferral on his first interview date of February 16 to February 24, but then less than an hour before his scheduled appearance his lawyer announced that unforeseen conditions require the interview to be postponed again. The media is reporting that the initial results of the toxicology test do not detect any drugs in the alleged victim A’s system, but this doesn’t preclude that there could have been drugs ingested that are quickly undetectable since samples were collected from A 24 hours after the alleged rape. Now the case is further complicated by an interview given by B, an unidentified bestfriend of A, providing alleged details of the rape. Park Shi Hoo’s new lawyer then released a statement blasting that interview as filled with unsubstantiated lies. What is going on with all these media interviews with random people (like the owner of the bar where the three drank that night, and now A’s so-called friend B) just providing details that just muddy up the waters when a standard police investigation ought to be the top priority?
In the interview B gave with Sunday Seoul, supposedly A has met K only once before and then was invited out to drink with him and Park Shi Hoo on the night of the 14th. She claimed to have been encouraged to keep drinking by the men, though she didn’t drink enough to get drunk. She supposedly texted her parents in the car saying she was on her way home and then lost consciousness, waking up the next morning in Park Shi Hoo’s apartment. A apparently saw Park Shi Hoo still wearing a condom and later was groped by K. B claimed that A must have been drugged because A said she felt really weird afterwards. I’m not saying that A didn’t tell B this, but whoever B is to go blab to the media all of this damning but unsubstantiated statements just creeps me out. It’s like there is a media trial going on to lynch Park Shi Hoo while on the other hand he’s dodging police interviews and changing lawyers and requesting the transfer of the police investigations. Both sides (police and A’s so-called friends versus Park Shi Hoo and K and their lawyer coterie) are shady as hell if you ask me, what with the leaked info and public statements left and right. My sympathy remain squarely with the victim of this alleged rape. I think the police need to shut up leaking info to the media and just investigate with professionalism but also do it faster than the current snail pace.

This is one of a weird case. More like a drama unfolding stories than police trying to investigate. Where I live, we only hear from the victim through media after the case is ceased or resolved, unlike these gossiping reports of this rape case flying out like street flyers bout grabbing a bargain from a supermarket.
At this point - I can absolutely wonder if there is a third party pulling the strings to this charade.
Other than outlandish suppositions that I just prosed - I want off the merry go round. The facts are currently depicting the victim as dishonest.
Better late than never - PSH & A are scheduled to Appear on March 1st. Now we will be able to read the story from another point of view. If it goes anything like the toxicology report - we may be in for a twist we could of never imagined.
HE Said, She said - THEY SAID. We will never know the absolute truth but with enough questioning we may get close to it. ::crosses fingers::
Couple of things...is B really a friend of A or just someone thrown out there to disparage A? PSH, maybe he thinks if he postpones, she will recant. Is there really CCTV footage? I would think that would make him guilty, especially if she texted her parents she was on her way home. So many loose ends...no wonder most women don't report date rape.
Yeah, exactly, people seem to blindly believe some newspaper that this B girl is really A's friend. I don't think this has to be true - there are many so called "best friends" of celebrities who leak some informations, but in most cases they just talk shit, none of these things are really true. I don't believe in anything I read in mass media unless there is a reliable proof it's really true - in this case this can be either the official statement made by the police or the court's verdict.
Wasn't K A's friend too? And look what happened?
There is CTTV footage - you can even search and watch it on the web.
A tip for Miss A, drop B as a friend because she's not one....
The police in her district strike me as caring only about how not to piss off higher ups downtown.
All of these options for some involved. PSH can NOT show up for police questioning and the police can FORGET about doing their commissioned jobs as PAID civil servants.
I don't believe B is really a friend of A. Apparently A is not that unknown. She is quite hot in cyberworld, and has many fans of her own. Really good looking, big eyes, very lovely
It's a shame A's info is known to the SK public since PSH has yet to be questioned by police. This is a disgrace.
I am not sure who leaked it, could be anyone at the drinking place/club, etc. The boss of that club was so keen to get involved.

I found it is a little silly that at first some netizens claimed that he could sleep with anyone he wanted therefore no need for rape; now they are saying that PSH couldn't help himself because A is so goodlooking.
A's district police are inept.
I have officially decided not to side with anyone. Not the victim, not PSH. Both of them seem equally innocent or have something up their sleeves to me. I'll just refrain from cracking my head thinking about all this and wait for the verdict. Koala, thanks for the update! I love reading your opinion about this matter.
This case is confusing! Didn't the police say days ago that they found 2 semen samples on the lady, now it turns out PSH was wearing a condom? Who is this B and why does he/she know so many details on what happened like he/she was there. If A had told he/she why would his statement contradicts hers?
I agree, they need to be stop releasing details to the press so that they can figure out if it was consensual sex or rape.
I am a huge fan of PSH the actor, but I don't know his personal character so its hard for me to judge him or not judge him as a chivalrous man.
but the one thing that has me suspecting B's she said she said comment from A, is the part where B said that A said PSH was still wearing a condom when A woke up....
And I could be wrong because this is only in my observation but no guy keeps a condom on after he has ejaculated in it....
So that part is some what fishy to me.
You can forget what everything B said. Was s/he in the room? Besides, PSH admitted to having sex with A from the very beginning. Why? I think he was not wearing a condom.
I just don't understand why the media is allowed to interview and report all manner of things related to this case. Shouldn't there be a cap on the media already?
I agree. Too many people releasing "information" that IMO should be kept quiet. It's an investigation not a circus. "Friends" should keep their mouths shut. The fact that PSH hasn't come forward yet looks cowardly and suspicious. I am shocked the police haven't been to his apt. Was K bought in for questioning? Does anyone know who K is? This is too much.
If the message/s A sent her parents that night is still in her phone, and was indeed sent and received in her parents mobile phone that very time that night - THIS CAN ALSO BE A VALID PROOF - that she really intended to go home - because if what some here claims that she originally was vent to set up or frame up PSH - then I doubt it if she would use her own parents in something like this or subject them to any worries. Why unnecessarily involve her own parents right? Meaning she wouldn't text them that message just to pretend. If indeed those text message (if recorded by the mobile provider)exist - THEN SHE REALLY INTENDED TO GO HOME.
but if that CCTV where K carry an unconscious Miss A is legit then I still dont get it, why carry an unconscious lady to a man's apartment. If she needs medical help , then just bring her to the hospital or call 911. That scene alone needs an explanation.
True. Supposing the CCTV footage shows indeed as such, some level of wrongdoing was committed.
Not supporting him in any way and the framing thing is ridiculous, but
Being drunk=/= needing medical help. Her intending to go home doesn't mean much if she was too drunk to actually make it there. Since she wasn't drugged that does lessen the impact of him carrying her into his house. There is no way to tell on the CCTV if she was truly unconscious. No way to know if she asked him to carry her. He could simply say she drank too much and he didn't know where to take her so he brought her into his home. None of this excuses anything he did, but it's not that hard to explain away why he would carry her in.
He brought her in, AND had sex. If it is a plot in kdrama, he would use her phone to reach her family or friend to pick her up... wait, he doesn't need to, as K is A's friend already, should know where to take her to, instead of his home.
You are so right. I was just thinking about it yesterday. That CCTV footage carrying an unconscious woman (if the whole footage is true and people in the footage can be identified clearly as PSH, K and A) is a very telling evidence. If A had said yes to sex from the time of being in the bar and being in the car, she shouldn't be unconscious and had to be piggybacked. So did she say yes to sex in the whole 13 hours of unconsciousness? PSH is sitting on a hot seat and he knows it.
I really do wish there is a ban on any press releases by any parties right now and let the police carry on with their investigations. The police right now is starting to show their incompetence.
I agree that investigations should be speeded up for the benefit of all parties considered. Dragging it out is really doing no good to anyone. Having said that, the police investigations should be thorough and impartial. Keeping in mind the nature of the incident and people involved .....unnecessary blurting out of unconfirmed news by non- witnesses is uncalled for. Defamation of anyone's character in my eyes is one of the worst things that can happen to them irrespective of who they are. It's a big burden to carry ones whole life. My full sympathies for the innocent party whoever it turns out to be. It must be torture for them.
