TW: Popular Idol Group Member Being Investigated For Sexual Assault

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

On June 6, reports revealed that a popular idol group member, hereafter referred to as “A,” is being investigated due to a report about him sexually assaulting a female he was drinking with.

A source from Gangnam Police Station revealed that the victim called the police at 8:56 a.m. KST and reported that she had been sexually assaulted by two males including “A” at a home in Yeoksam.

When the police arrived at the scene, “A” was no longer present. Only the victim and a third party individual were present.

The other male who was present when the group was drinking has denied suspicions from the police.

The police source said, “The witness’s explanation is different from what was initially reported and we have yet to hear the victim’s testimony. We need to hear from both sides.”


UPDATES

• The woman who accused an idol group member of sexually assaulting her has changed her words, saying he is innocent


• Instead, she is saying it was another male who did it, but not the male idol as initially reported.

i am so sick of this shit

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Knetz are saying the group debuted in 2010. Yikes.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

infinite, jyj and Teen Top debuted in 2010
But where are netizen getting these info?

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

That's what I'd like to know as well. They are also mentioning something about him being 26-27 so JYJ is out. Infinite looks good for this if knetz are right.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

some people are saying that it was Woohyun and he does fit the bill: He debuted in 2010, turned 26 in February
But Hoya turned 26 in March so it also fits him as well as Hyungsik from ZE:A

but at the same time, it could also be 26 in Korean age so that also implicates CAP from Teen Top, Dongjun from ZE:A, or L from Infinite

K-Netz comments on Netizenbuzz tho, are implying it was a member of SuJu

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

By "popular idol group member" do they refer to the group being popular or the member of the group being popular? My brain can't process English syntax at the moment.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

It could be either or, tbh
But I think it means the group is popular (which then knocks out the ZE:A members lol)

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

The picture they used on MyDaily is a picture of Woohyun tbh :/ So if it's not him, he betta sue

The Fact reported it

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

When will it stop...
I hope the victim is taken good care of.

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

the admin of kpop kpop fans tweeted woohyun's name 😩

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Unless they have proof, they're going to have a shitstorm headed their way~

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

mte

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

i mean, yeah. but im also gonna freak out about it

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

I hate that they did that 'cause of lack of evidence but I'm wondering if they read something somewhere :/

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

I think it's from comments, mostly, and I believe some of it comes from the fact he posted a selca on Instagram right before the report was filed of him in a vehicle looking quite drunk which lines up with "A" leaving before police arrived. :x So people are putting 2+2 together. It's unfortunate timing on his part no matter what the truth is.

[oohjongdae.livejournal.com]

When will you ever stop with your nonsense? It would be better if you keep that shit in your Twitter. At least inform yourself first instead of making up shit about Woohyun as usual.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Lmao what? I was only explaining why people thought it was him. I literally cannot make up things that he posted himself. The fact is a large number of netizen comments on the original articles mentioned his name before any "hints" were dropped by the media. You wanna get mad at someone? Talk to those netizens, not the person relaying that information to people wanting to know.

[burningleaf.livejournal.com]

All the name picking is giving me anxiety attack tbh I wish justice is served, as much as it can anyway

[chihana11.livejournal.com]

It won't be unfortunately. Not with the laws in SK. You have to have proof that you physically fought the attacker off or it isn't an assault, it's consensual sex. I just hope to survivor is being helped and with people who care about her.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

is the investigation just started like in 1 or 2hrs ago or what? bc woohyun's posting on his ig and shows up on other people's ig today like everything is fine, so... unless he's just that brazen

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

His post was at 8:36 AM KST and the report was filed at 8:56 AM. So... it unfortunately does line up.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

well there's also this https://www.instagram.com/p/BWMpZDWgIfH/ from 49 mins ago, but obviously i don't know when it was taken

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

"Around last winter"

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

yeah. after i posted i realized the black shirt is different, so yeah

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

The rumors are killing me.. :( It can't be Woohyun *cries*

[mjmjchick.livejournal.com]

Now it's being reported that the victim changed her statement and is saying that the idol's friend assaulted her, not the idol himself.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

between this and the shitchun case I know stans are going to be bringing the rape apologism to new levels this week

[wasamin.livejournal.com]

Are they using the term popular loosely? I can't think of any popular five membered group that debuted in 2010..

[simprov.livejournal.com]

teen top now has 5, since l.joe left, but idk if people really consider them populat anymore. but who knows if the reporter is using popular loosely

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

if its woohyun then imma have to cancel kpop for while 😷

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

yeah same

they won't see me for next 5 years or something

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

I hope the victim has a support system by her side :(

[cakeeatingidol.livejournal.com]

so now if it's the friend... what is happening

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

My thinking is that she got paid out or threatened. If it's indeed a big name idol, they'd probably have the backup fromt heir company to do that.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i dont like this kind of blind items ....

also if its a really big company we will never know the true like that japanese tabloid talking about shirtless male idol doing cocaine

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

There are so many possible scenarios.
The girl could have gotten paid or threaten to drop charges, but why did she decide to accuse the other person? She could also be lying and changed targets because of harassment by fans or due to thinking the non-celeb friend is an easier target.

We will never know. It is fishy how early she changed her story.
