I guess this is good news for Team Yoochun, as in his agency and fans who still wholly support him during the month long investigation for multiple allegations of sexual assault. The Gangnam police will not be charging him in any of the four counts of sexual assault because there is not enough evidence to prove it was forced or consensual. Basically he said/she said, just like I said the circumstances of the four cases consisted of since it was always in a closed bathroom and even evidence of bruising isn’t necessarily indicative of force as a consensual couple can have forceful sex. But the good news comes with a dirty silver lining as the Gangnam police is charging Yoochun for solicitation of prostitution and fraud (scamming) for failing to pay for services rendered.
I’ll leave it to folks to hash out the argument as to whether prostitution should or shouldn’t be legal is one is willing to provide a service and the other willing to pay for it and it’s between adults. But getting a service and not paying is douchey on top of the fact that Yoochun as a Korean star is held up to high moral standards, on top of him doing this while serving his mandatory military enlistment. And the fact that he could only have nights free to go to clubs and salons because he was exempt from active duty due to asthma so he’s serving public service which is basically living a normal life and going home after work every day.

What would be the penalty for what he is being charged?
1) Most likely those charges will be dismissed. Since there was no money exchanged, I don't see how they can charge him for prostitution.
2) Charging fraud for not paying for an illegal activity, also seems weird. Is like a drug seller asking the police to help get payment from the buyer, who ran off without paying.
3) What was not mentioned above, is that two of the accusers are being charged with making false accusations - so it is more than an He Said - She said situation. The remaining 2 cases had no evidence, and thus were not even included in the report sent to the prosecutor.
In theory, he could be charged for not paying. I don't know SK's laws, but in the US, gangster Al Capone didn't go to prison for murder or any of his illegal activities. It was for tax evasion, since he didn't file taxes on the money he got illegally.
People here get charged for solicitation when they try to pick up sex workers before money ever gets exchanged.
Heard he made first payment but didn't complete the payment after the sex.
And who is going to pay for cleaning up the lie? Because it looks like korean won't forgive him so easily. I read some sponsors broke up the contracts.
It's sad for his fans ,his family, his friends , his co workers... I have no pity for him.
His BROTHER ... That it's an actor as well! I feel bad for his mom and his brother, not for him. I'm not being judgemental, just that if your willing to do the crime, you should be willing do the time. JS
don't quite understand why police can legally charge PYC for not paying since prostitution is illegal? this is such a mess... maybe ms.koala can give us your legal advice please.
I agree with totalrecoil. PYC Defence will be that he did not pay because it was illegal to do so. He did not solicit prostitution as he had no intention of paying and she appeared willing to have sex with him. Defence needed only when charged.
Unless different system in S K, he may not even be charged by the Prosecutors.
Maybe they cannot charge him with the non-payment but they could definitely charge him with the sollicitation of prostitution as he went to those clubs even if he didn't pay... But as you said, SK's juridicial system is a bit special so let's see what would happen next to him..
I always expected this. That even if (hypothetically) that it was rape, that Park Yoochun would get off easy "legally".
However I guess his rape victims can take some comfort in that his entertainment career is dead.
But in 1st and 2nd accuser case, now they're getting charged by police with false accusation. If they're really raped, his dead career was less comforting compared to deemed as liar.
He still has lots of fans support in other countries. It is too early to say his entertainment career is dead. He can write songs, do off screen work... I am not condoning his bad behavior... not his fan... But how can one say who's done in career while the world is so large?
Thank you..
What come as a surprise is that police charged the 2nd accusers with false accusations. Because while the 1st accuser has been clearly lying and the last 2 accuser always changed their report detail, the 2nd accuser has the most believable report and evidence.
Surprise, surprise. One things for sure, his image is trashed in his home country. Korean broadcasters are never going to let him on (and JYJ) so it's bye bye to his tv acting career. I feel sorry for the deluded fan girls that still want to support him after this. Seriously, grow up.
He can always go yo China, Thailand etc where fan girls support him and leave Korea.
his company pay the police off. how they going charge the 2nd woman for lieing.she the one with the best evidence. againest him. either way his career is in the dumpster. no one going cast him in korean. he better off going to china were they take rape people.
if he have asthma,why he still drink alcohol,and hangout in the middle of night?
Oppa is innocent ! Oppa is innocent !! :P
Of course you right,even police said so. please tell you oppa too, don't forget to drink his medicine on time and sleep well. i am sure he need that after all this time.
