A South Korean singer Kim Heung-kook was accused of sexually assaulting an insurance consultant.
On March 14 broadcast of MBN, a woman appeared in the interview claiming she was assaulted by Kim Heung-Kook in November, 2016.
The woman said she met Kim Heung-kook through a mutual friend two years ago when she worked as an insurance consultant. In the gathering she met Kim, she passed out from drinking excessively. When she woke up, she found herself lying next to Kim, naked.
However, Kim Heung-kook denied everything that was reported about him. On that same day, he explained in the interview with ‘Edaily Star in’ that they met at a casual gathering two years ago, but he did not assault or harass her in any way. He also denied the fact that they went to a hotel together.
He continued, “everyone recognizes me from afar and knows I’m a married man, so why would I go to a hotel with another woman? I regarded #MeToo movement as someone else’s business but now that I’m involved, I’m devastated.”
In addition, responding to the woman’s claims, a representative of Kim said, “I think there may be an impure intention behind this accusation” and showed their willingness to take legal action.
