As March wraps up, supposedly the police of the Western Police Station in Seoul will be concluding their investigation into the Park Shi Hoo rape allegations and transferring the case to the prosecutor’s office who will make the determination whether to file charges. This isn’t an insular process, the prosecutors are likely kept abreast of the progress of the investigation and may already be weighing the collected evidence even before the completed investigation files are handed over, so it may not be a long wait for a decision to come down. Any decision is good for the state of affairs, calming the warring netizens down and giving the media something else to write about. Of course, if Park Shi Hoo is charged, then expect this media circus to ramp up. With the leak last week of the alleged results from Park Shi Hoo’s lie detector test, with an unnamed source from the Western Police Department claiming that Park Shi Hoo failed every question and an indictment is imminent, while the official police spokesperson quickly confirmed the the leak did not come from them, the damage has been done. Park Shi Hoo’s lawyers have sued some media outlets for publishing the initial news reports, and has lodged an official complaint against the Western Police Department for this and other leaks which have seriously damaged Park Shi Hoo’s right to privacy. Park Shi Hoo’s attorney has also submitted their own investigation case files to the police, included in it A’s now-former friend B’s affidavit recanting all her earlier statements against Park Shi Hoo and painting A and other as plotting against Park Shi Hoo. A’s attorney has announced that A and her family will be suing B, for what I don’t know, but I’m assuming it’s not for being a very bad friend. It’s rather karmic that B speaks up and gets sued by Park Shi Hoo, then she does a 180 and and is about to get sued by A. Like I said before, if B has stayed out of the limelight from the get go in a case where she was not involved in any way, she could be sleeping easy today. Park Shi Hoo’s family has opened up in a voice interview discussing how draining and painful this whole ordeal has been, for Park Shi Hoo and for his family members that love and believe in him. While the involved persons are likely all suffering in their own way, the netizens continue being slimy in digging up dirt and the latest on dit comes in the form of a home-made strip tease video being widely circulated that is rumored to star A. Police have just said that the purported porn videos being posted on Korean websites are not of A and in fact most contain a virus. I can’t believe sleazy website purveyors are now making a buck off this case.
While there have been various so-called porn videos of A circulating, some blatantly false and can’t even be opened, the one getting some mainstream coverage is of a pretty young thing dressed in a tight police uniform doing a strip tease in her room. It’s not confirmed that it is A, other than the girl in question is very pretty, wide eyes, swell figure, you get the drift. I don’t know who would watch it to confirm whether it is A or not, because it does not matter in the least if it is A or is not A in that video. Once again, the promiscuity of the alleged rape victim does not matter in rape cases. At all. A prostitute can get raped, a slut can get raped, a whore can get raped, a virgin can get raped, a nun can get raped, a grandma can get raped, a child can get raped, a wife can be raped by her husband – rape is not contingent on the personality, history, or attitude of the alleged victim in question. It involves the facts of what happened. If A lied about the rape, then let the facts tell the tale. If Park Shi Hoo raped A, then her possibly being a sexually active woman with exhibitionist predilections doesn’t matter. I want the police to review the facts and the prosecutor to weigh the relevant evidence and make a decision quickly otherwise everyone involved in this case prolongs the ordeal.

OMG leave the guys alone media. ! Omg jut wait for what come ! The suspect is NOT guilty until proved ! Omg the stupid ppl !what if Ye didn't do it ! U would have distroyed his career for nothing ! And so goes to A ALTHOGHT ! I don't believe he for a sec ! But as I said up !!
Thanks mrs koala ! U r the best !
supporters who are desperate will grab any bone that's thrown at them, like a porn video that has no bearing on this case.
True
In all honesty I think what is being created with all these talks of A's character, is that since they were drunk and shes "known" to be a "fun-living" girl, wouldn't it also be more likely that it was consensual.
Then if she was a virgin saint who never hurt a fly- if she said rape, we would more easily believe it.
Is kind of worrisome utilizing double standards to defend ones self but I guess since it's hard to prove consensual sex... It's easier to show why it would be more likely a yes then a no.
Going off on a tangent here...but I wonder how things would have turned out for Michael Jackson's child sexual abuse allegations had he sued as many media outlets and/or people involved in the case as Park Shi-Hoo currently is.
Media can make or break you. In the entertainment world they do this powerplay that you either choose to be in their good side, or their bad side.
As an actor PSH shoud choose his battles with the media, for if he manages to miraculously get an innocent verdict and go on with his career, he should not BE BURNING BRIDGES with these media outlets. For they might just make his way back quite difficult for him.
Oh, yes, you do make so good points. Once you mentioned the issue with the media - I belatedly remembered my aunt back in Taiwan is a reporter, and whenever she attends press events, the companies (whether celebrities, retail companies, etc.) essentially slather media outlets with delicious food and goody bags. The media really does have everyone eating out the palms of their hands, I guess. And knowing someone like my aunt, rub her the wrong way and she's likely to take it personally.
This keeps getting sadder by the day... I hope neither one of them do anything stupid to themself. I hope and pray they have ppl by them that can help them and/or guide them to over come this. :(
oh i was hoping that with the end of March this case would be resolved either way
hope we dont get more rapid fans attacking koala
this is just report of facts
it is true rape is rape inspite of the victims sexual history
lets hope the truth comes out and justice is served
Sihoorang Announcement ” [Overseas Fans] Please note whilst awaiting police statement “
Dear Overseas Fans,
I gather you are all having a difficult period with the police investigation our beloved actor, Park Sihoo is going under, not to mention the ongoing innuendo of the reporters of clearly false and almost spiteful articles.
You all probably have gathered by now the clearly unprofessional conduct shown by the Seu-bu Police Headquarters over the entire period and we are all astounded by the biased reporting in favour of the supposed victim and deliberate release of critical parts of investigations to the public. Under the current legal system,”the accused is innocent until proven otherwise” and in the case of Park Sihoo, this basic rule has been ignored and the human rights of the actor seriously violated.
Park Sihoo is a Korean citizen who deserves the same protection by the law just like anyone of us and yet even the most private details of the case have been connivingly exposed to the media and public and Park Sihoo has been subject to unparalled humiliation even before he had a chance to defend his case.
Therefore, it is very important for the fans to be aware that despite the publicity game that the Seu-bu Police Headquarters is keen on playing, the police does not actually have any legal authority or power to prosecute Park Sihoo, even if he was guilty. That ultimate power lies only with the public prosecutors or judge and not with the police. This is critical to the understanding of the fans because the Seu-bu Police will be releasing a final statement on this Park Sihoo case in the next few days.
Please I urge all fans not to be disturbed when the Police announces that the case may be transferred to the public prosecutors as this is not exceptional but only the norm in all cases, as I referred earlier on that the Police does not actually have any authority to prosecute an accused. That authority does not lie within the police and it is only natural for them to refer all cases to the hands of public prosecutors for the case to be investigated more thoroughly. It will be ultimately up to the prosecutors to penalise the accused and not the police and this is exactly what we fans want for the case to be finally closed once and for all and Park Sihoo cleared of all misunderstanding and false claims.
So, please stand firm and stay patient when the police announces their statement in the next few days and please do not be disturbed by the unnerving newspaper articles as they are seem to be written mostly from
unfounded truth as we have observed in the last month or so.
It is not long to go before the case is finally closed by the police and please I encourage all fans to remain strong and faithful as you have done so perfectly since the beginning of the case. What we must do is stay calm and collected and not lose faith in Park Sihoo as he is going through the most testing times in his acting career.
Thank you for your unfailing love and support for the actor and we await for good news in good faith.
With best regards,
2013 Sihoorang Management Committe.

Q: Why did Park Si Hoo apply for the case to be transferred to Gangnam Police Station? (ultimately rejected by Western Police Station.) It has been said Park Si Hoo was hoping to receive favorable treatment from Gangnam Police Station.
K: Western Police Station scheduled Sihoo’s attendance for Feb. 24, but Sihoo was just changing to his new law firm PURME who needed time to familiarize themselves with the case and to investigate the incident. Western Police Station in fact only mailed Attendance Notice to Sihoo once and only one. Prior to that, they never called Sihoo directly by phone. The police said they did not have Sihoo’s contact number, so they called Sihoo’s former management company to ask Sihoo to attend the investigation, and Sihoo only heard about it from his former management company. It does not make sense for the police to contact Sihoo’s former management company representative Hwang. Sihoo applied to transfer the police station on the advice of PURME. A’s lawyer used to work at Western District Prosecutors’ Office with jurisdiction over the Western Police Station, and this fact caused some anxiety.

1/ Mr Hwang and A had a plan before A sued PSH
2/ Mr Hwang did his plan with Seo Bu Police before A sued PSH
Why did Seo Bu Police Call Mr Hwang in stead of PSH ? How did they know HWANG & PSH 's reationship in this case ????? Where did they get Mr HWANG "S NUMBER ????? from A ? or from Mr HWANG ??? It's very HARD for SEO BU Police to swallow this case !!! ( It's not Gold but stone apple )

One added comment on this line of reasoning. As the police and S Korean being so IT savvy, would the police not have a database of all their citizens including address, contact details, next of kin etc? For such a personal and private matter, why should the police and what right has the police to contact a 3rd party other than the person concerned? Is this not an invasion of privacy and the rights of a citizen?
A has his number in her cell
In your country Anything happened to you then Police call your boss ???
Maybe it was because no new Manager had been 'officially' introduced to take over, and all still refer to Mr Hwang since some of the actor's recent/ongoing project's income are still covered under by Mr Hwang's management.
If you hit someboby ,Police call your boss ? stupid country !
But does he not have family? Father? Mother? Brother? These are next-of-kin and related. A manager is a 3rd party, not related, even with projects or income. Why not call SBS since his last project was with SBS?
No need to quote or post links from PSH site as they are bias including the enews whose articles I found extremely partial as if they've been paid. Enews tends to release news on PSH side before anybody else. Remember psh asked for help from his journalist friends?
Now we are devolving into porn of the alleged victim? Isn't it time the Korean media stop giving the scum any coverage?
I can't imagine how Walter Cronkite would read this news, or Peter Jennings...
They would refuse to, actually!!
Thanks for keeping the dicussions about the crime of rape on track. It never hurts to be reminded.
i did not see the video, no intention.. but i've seen an image in google and compared it to A's face in google too.. i don't think its her.. they have some similarities but i don't think so..
i just hope this ends soon..
What a way to degrade the issue here with...porn????? Any minutes of fleeting fame will do for some folks.
PSH....Tsk.
maybe they're running out of cards to lay out on the table.
Porn? that came from nosy netizens who dug info on "victim" Ms A, no different from them uncovering her real identity and other posted photos.
@giny, who is the "they" that you are referring to?
