The summer of 2016 has officially become the summer of Korean male stars allegedly behaving badly, or the summer that the public learned about it. There are two more male actors involved in sexual assault allegations, joining Yoochun‘s scandalous alleged rapes mess which has been going on for over a month now. Starting chronologically, currently serving in the army public service for his military enlistment is actor Lee Min Ki, who was accused of sexual assault this past February 2016 after he went to a Busan club and hooked up with a girl he met.
The girl claimed sexual assault afterwards and the police investigated, in the end Lee Min Ki was cleared of the charges but this incident is only coming to light now for whatever reason. K-netz hate the idea of casual hookups and even moreso hate the idea that stars serving in the easier public service sector who live basically normal lives get to go to clubs and have fun and therefore maybe engage in wanton behavior. Whatever happens to Lee Min Ki’s reputation within K-ent, for now the star has been acquitted on this charge. Up Next is Lee Jin Wook, who is currently in a hot mess so read on after the jump.
Lee Jin Wook was accused of sexual assault this week by a woman who filed charges against him with the police, who are now investigating, His agency has swiftly responded that it’s not true, that Lee Jin Wook actually dated A and recently broke up with her and hasn’t even talked to her since then. If this turns out to be a disgruntled ex-girlfriend throwing Lee Jin Wook under the sexual assault scandal bus then hopefully the police investigation will clear him, but she’s accusing him of sexual assault that happened during their relationship when she was over at his place one night, so it’s legit he said/she said, so I doubt Lee Jin Wook is going to have an easy time proving his innocence especially in the court of public opinion. Sigh, so many men behaving badly, even if not criminally, it still makes me wish for the halcyon days when there was at least the veneer of civility.

Aaaagghhh sooo tired of this type of news and allegations. Celebrities are the most vulnerable in any type of scandal...yet they themselves open the doors so wide for these unfortunate incidents to happen...(with quite an few I mean very few exceptions.) aaagghhh!!!
Yes it's true . Are they stupid ? They must be ! Celebrity = scrutinity . Hey guys you must behave ! Who's next domino ? So sad . At this rate , actresses are going investigate actors before working with them ! Hope you 'll understand my average highschool English because i' m french.
For lee jin wook, i hope it's not true, i hope it'sjust ex girlfriend which take revenge on him,but feel sad for what happen
Me too ?
Well Lee Minki and Park Yoochun have both been acquitted. In the case of Park Yoochun, two of his accusers are being charged for making false claims and falsifying evidence (deleted messages where she talked about the encounter with her friend). And the two other cases were dismissed.
The true problem if the accusations are false they have already sent their careers to the trash. And what people expect celebs do? They are criticize if they date another celeb and send hateful messages but they can't to have a nightstand neither...I think they should leave celebs live a little bit freely as I'm sure they do themselves.
But park yoo chun charge of prostitution, yes he is indeed not innocent but how far his mistake we don't know the truth
thse 2 are trash. it all start with rapist toilet PYC.he the one open the door for these woman to come forward. now more rape woman will be more welling to come forawrd after being rape by celebrity. these celebrity should sue toilet PYC for dragging their name through the mud.
Woww..what a worse human being you are. Judging someone like you know everything about him.
You are an idiot for even making that statement. What are you in grades school? You should learn to respect the law and people. PYC was found innocent of all alleged assault charges and 2 of the women (sex workers) are being sued for defamation and false accusations. So go chill in the corner, you are grounded!
Okay but hold on...Lee Jin Wook was actually dating the woman so, yes, he could have been bad but that's not some casual hook up at a bar. That's two consenting adults of a certain age dating and then doing what sometimes happens and breaking up. That is not an example of k-drama actors behaving badly; that is just normal adult behavior in the real world. Could he have done wrong in the relationship, sure but there is no way he can prove his innocence in a he said/she said...like, ever. If I was an actor in this country, I'd be afraid to date anyone and these dudes need to stay out of bars. They know this is a sore spot regarding public service versus full military service.
It could be that Lee Jin Wook assaulted the ex while they dated. Having an established relationship doesn't mean that there is automatically consent. This news tears me. On one hand, I love Lee Jin Wook as an actor and want to see more of him. On the other, I feel that all victims should be believed unless evidence proves it to be false. Ultimately, I hope she isn't retaliating against him. Not only does that hurt an innocent person, but it hurts the credibility of actual sexual assault victims.
You misunderstand me. I said he could have done wrong but how in the world can he prove his innocence in a he said/she said situation? If there is no video and no witnesses...??? I am a firm believer in giving both sides the benefit of the doubt and letting the police do their job, but in the end it could easily always be he said/she said.
Have to agree with the sentiment that if it's two consenting adult, it's normal behavior to engage in that activity in the real world. It's crazy how reputations for Korean actors/actress can be ruined like that.
What are you talking about. She's accusing him of sexual assault which clearly means that it wasn't consensual. Like stringofpurls said, dating doesn't equal to consent. If she didn't want to have sex at one point and he forced her to then it's rape, regardless of them being in an ongoing sexual relationship at that time.
Yeah but before that you said "That is not an example of k-drama actors behaving badly; that is just normal adult behavior in the real world." ?
Dating...the dating is normal behavior. Yes...the assault could have happened but the writer seemed to indicate that this guy was on par with hooking up at a bar or soliciting a prostitute. He was in a dating relationship. If he sexually assaulted his girlfriend I hope he sees the inside of a jail cell. I guess I wasn't clear t ok get this response.
What the heck ¬¬¬¬¬¬tsk tsk tsk
Actors gonna be dissappear..
who's the next? kim soo hyun, lee min hoo, so ji sub, hyun bin or lee jong suk??? Hope not.
Please actors take care your lower part of body better!
Richard Simons!!!!
Don't dare to say those handsome oppars.
Lee jin uk is GHJ ex BF??? ???
Oh no. Just so oh no. Lee Min Ki. :'(
what.
when the Kim Hyun Joon / Park Shi Hoo / Yoochun mess happened, I cringed at their terrible behavior but crunched popcorn at the same time, because i never liked any of them and almost felt congratulatory of myself for not being a fan in the first place.
but Lee Minki!! omg. I would consider myself a Lee Minki fan. Damn. This sucks :'( Though if it's not actually sexual assault, then I'm sorta indifferent. Random hookups happened around campus 24/7 when I was an undergrad. It's kinda naive for fans to expect oppa to be lilly white pure.
But it happened when he is serving the army. That is huge tatoo.
He was in public service and it happened in his free time, he wasn't leaving a base to go to the massage parlour like those other guys back then.
There's nothing dirty about sex between consenting adults, so what if he likes one night stands?
These men just need to choose where and who they sleep with properly, they're celebrity figures, they need to manage themselves better + knowing there are always people out there looking to make a quick buck ,smh celebrities, .
Or maybe they are actually guilty you know. Just a thought...
Yochun and lmk spelt with these women in a bathroom and bar ,that's what I'm saying when they need to chose who and where they sleep with plus they wee acquitted with any rape charges + I'm not talking about Lee Jin wook, smh so extra
Just because they were acquitted doesn't mean they are innocent. Legally sure but not really. Sexual assault/rape charges are just about the hardest thing to prove.
I don't care that you think I'm extra since you're basically saying they should have picked better women to assault and a better setting to do it. So between being extra and victim blaming, I'd gladly chose the first over and over again.
Lee Jin Wook probably did something really bad during relationship with his ex. Since the girl loves him, perhaps she just endure it. But when they no longer in dating life, I guess she wants to reveal everything in public. Both seems in fault. The guy did misbehave towards his girl and the girl wants to get revenge by revealing everything to public.
I think so
It could be the girl get dump but she doesn't want it n they get revenge, actually wr never know not all woman good too
