Police investigation on the allegations of Shinhwa member Minwoo’s sexual harassment will continue.

Previously, a news report claimed that Minwoo had allegedly sexually harassed two women at a bar in Gangnam, but his agency Liveworks Company clarified that sexual harassment had not taken place and that it was something that happened out of a misunderstanding. They also stated that the alleged victims would be withdrawing their official complaints.

On July 3, Seoul Gangnam Police Station stated to OSEN, “It is true that the official complaints about Minwoo’s sexual harassment were withdrawn. However, based on the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes, we will continue investigating the case. All details including the date of questioning are undecided, and we are currently working out the schedule.”

Meanwhile, Jun Jin has spoken up about the allegations of sexual harassment surrounding his fellow Shinhwa member Minwoo.

On July 3, Jun Jin held a V Live broadcast on his way to a location in Gapyeong County to film a variety show. He spoke about various topics including Minwoo.

He shared, “I have something to say. There are all sorts of articles about Minwoo, but I hope you will trust him until the end. Many things can happen when celebrities attend various gatherings. I hope you will believe in him until the end, and please support him and pray for him.” He added, “I’m sure all of you trust us, and I hope you won’t be too upset. I think that as long as you believe in him, the misunderstanding will be cleared up.”

She is a member of the group Spica! :D (I refuse to say 'was' hahah)

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

she's Spica's rapper :)

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

I had no idea they dated! Precious Sihyun deserves WAY better.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

She dated him.. girl why 🤮

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

:P

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

she was going through trial and error, that's my girl.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

you know, i completely forgot this was even a thing lmao XD it feels like they dated ages ago OTL

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

GDI JunJin.

I love Minwoo but i’m also a realist. Even though the charges have been dropped, he could have very well paid the women off. We’ll see how the investigation goes.

[dantethetaco.livejournal.com]

Oh no Junjin, what are you doing?

Jun Jin Asks Fans To Believe In Him

No.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

Men will always defend their ~bro~ and enable their behavior even if they didn't do anything themselves. This is why i don’t care when men whine about ~not all men~. He should’ve just kept his mouth shut and waited for the investigation to pan out. He’s your colleague not your brother

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Seriously. He wasn't there so he should keep his mouth shut.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

men don't care about the heinous shit other men do as long as it doesn't affect them

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

Sorry, my point didn’t come across. I meant that in this case the company could just defend him and release statements, so people like his colleagues didn’t need to step up to his defense. Even though it’s still terrible to defend his behavior I would understand it if it came from someone like his brother since korea is a very family oriented society. In an ideal world his band mates would actually speak out in support of the victim.

[adenar.livejournal.com]

especially after hongki ditching his bandmate so quickly even after being together for ten years, i have no patience for people unquestioningly standing by anyone accused of sexual assault. maybe you don't have to immediately dump them but dude, unless you can instantly prove it never happened, stfu.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

Yes all men.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

This is why I rme when fans go "please continue to support the other members, they have nothing to do with this"
No. Unless they show public support for the victim, they're also trash.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

Seriously. They don’t even have to “attack” their bandmate. They could just say something like the situation is unclear at the moment and an investigation is underway but we believe or support the victim or our sympathies go out to the victim if it happened. They could even bring up burning sun to show how important it is to believe victims but i don’t know if it’s just been reduced to a drug scandal in korea whereas in foreign media people are reporting on the sexual abuse, etc.

now i’m thinking maybe them even saying something in support of the victim could mean they are accusing their band member and they could get a defamation lawsuit against them? Still they should just stay quiet then and let the company release statements

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

A simple "don't harass anyone until the truth is clear", or "the police is investigating the matter; until the results are out let's be civil about this", or any combination of words that will tame their rapid fan base without siding with their creepy group mate. It's more than doable if they cared enough. And I'm by no means an expert in Korean's law but I doubt they'd be charged for defamation without them flat out saying this person is a rapist or abusive or whatever he is.

Truth is they don't care, and even those who were convicted are still supported by their group members, either directly or through silence. Rare are the men who stand against their "bros" no matter how vile they are.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

I'll pray for him to end up in jail

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

Why would he even talk

[kcaomei.livejournal.com]

"I think that as long as you believe in him, the misunderstanding will be cleared up"

so basically telling us if we all just turn a blind eye, then he can get away with it... disgusting. they're both cancelled.

[sglitzys.livejournal.com]

Ikr. Wtf is this, the power of believing will make allegations go away. He should've shut up. But now I know to cancel him.
