Veteran Actors Jo Jae Hyun and Oh Dal Soo Accused of Sexual Harassment as #Metoo Movement Hits K-ent

The #metoo movement has firmly arrived in South Korean entertainment. On the heels of actor Jo Min Ki getting fired from his faculty position at a university and getting scrubbed from the K-drama Children of a Lesser God, two more veteran actors are facing their own sexual harassment allegations. Character actor Oh Dal Soo and award-winning veteran leading man Jo Jae Hyun are both dealing with sexual harassment allegations this week, with their accusers claiming harassment from years ago working with these actors on stage productions and dramas, and only having the courage to come forward now. The allegations are of unwanted groping, kissing, and solicitation, and now it’s only a question of what will happen to the careers of these men. Will they weather this storm or find themselves rightfully cast out of the industry if the allegations are true.

  • This is like some Bill Cosby shit
    The hell is going on with the world man
    I don’t know who to believe anymore

  • The details of Jo Min Ki's sexual harassment to his students are really appalling. And to think that both he and Jo Jae Hyun have appeared on tv shows with their daughters.

  • sick old Ahjussi if this turn out to be true knet better rise some can worm. never though korean have dirty Ahjussi like japan.

  • I wonder if this is because all these people think their actions were acceptable, as victims were afraid to speak up, they took the silence as consent. And frankly idk if this is something we can fix within the near future..

  • Jo Jae Hyun admitted already and he is not in the drama Cross anymore. His apology letter sounded pathetic. Sex offenders recently have said similar things as him, like ’’I had awful mindset at the time and I have no memories of it’’. Very disappointing but not surprising. And having a daughter doesn’t mean shit. Weinstein has daughters but he still harassed and assaulted women. Expose them all.

  • #MeToo movement is opening a can of worms. Dirty old men finally being called out but will they ever be prosecuted in the court of law and go to jail???

  • Hopefully something can be done to punish and discourage these nasty acts.
    Otherwise your favourite lovely oppas may turn to such disgusting ahjussi in the future. Yikes!

    • Unfortunately, like Jo Jae Hyun..he has had 30 years acting career.He didnt just wake up amd start harassing the women.He probably started when he was still an oppa but didnt think what he was doing was wrong.

      Unfortunately, when today's oppas( and unnies) or get into similar messes..fangirls shield them to death.This inflates their ego.They think they can get away with anything, because they will always be people defending their mistakes.I mean look at semi-ahjusshis like Park Shi Hoo, Lee Byung Hun and Park Yoon Chun.Whats the difference between them and these ajusshis?Maybe the fact that they still have a lot of fangirls.
