[Koreans react.] "STAR ATHLETE A WHO'S A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL TEAM, S*XUALLY ASSAULTED HOOBAE OF THE SOCCER TEAM IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

So this is what they're trying to divert the attention from?!

Disgusting

I doubt idol dating rumours will distract from this type of news for very long... If anything maybe Dispatch was prodded to release what they have, but idol dating news buzz - even for a big couple - only lasts days.

this is sick, i knew thats why there was suddenly so many scandals

this needs to blow up, i hope the victims get the justice they want

Elementary school? Damn this kids are hardcore, tf is happening in Korea with their kids and why is nobody stopping this?

There is also something else but not sure if that holds any truth.

That man killed himself months ago, he's been national news for awhile, these 'idols' aren't being used to cover up anything, Koreans aren't stupid, most of the ppl being accused of things aren't even remotely popular with the gp.

You say that put Bom covered up a scandal at that time.

i don't really know the exact circumstanices around what happened with Bom so i cant really comment on that, but i assure you none of bullying accusations are to cover up anything, they'd need a household name (like IU level) to do something deemed really immoral (to Koreans different cultral standards and all that) which i assume is what happened with Bom? As for Jennie & GD thats just dispatch poking their noses where they don't belong.

Bruh it’s not that, this happened last summer and the mayor commited suicide a day later, nothing is confirmed regarding the sexual assault but it’s nothing new. We all know, i dont know why cnn is re-reporting on it again but we dont use american news channels in korea.

Can you explain this??? Oral?

So the Victims were in fifth grade and the perpetrators were in first grade????

Am I tripping or what? Aren’t first graders like 6-7 years old? Or am I misunderstanding? Can someone explain........ I’m too lazy to leave the forums atm

How can they prove this though? It's been so long.

It hurts my heart if this is true, but at this point, where is the evidence? It's been over a decade.

If you're asking about the sexual assault case then they'd need witness testimonies and/or evidence like text messages/emails. If more than one person comes forward with similar experiences as the first victim then a relatively strong case can be made. Unfortunately Korea is incredibly lax when it come their sentencing, another concern would be believing the victims as its male on male and homophobia in SK is still a big issue.

From what I read, the statute of limitations are up already, so the victims claim to just want an apology.

2 people have made these claims, but if he really did something like this, I can't imagine it being a 1 person only thing. The allegations are so atypical and disgusting that if he had a pension for doing things like this I can't imagine there only being 2 victims.

Plus, the man they are accusing is 32, which means it had to be 20 plus years ago that this happened. They were also kids, so I can't see there being any emails or messages. So, unless more testimonies come forward, this guy can keep denying it. And if he didn't do it, then these guys have already ruined his reputation anyways. There is no winning here.

Who is going to admit to being not only homosexual but also a sexual predator of children (though he was a child as well) in a society like Korea?

God its so sad that these types of crimes aren't able to be prosecuted, i hope that the victims get some sort of comfort/relief from speaking out about it, i also hope it'll enable korea & Koreans to take a good long look at themselves (their views) and their rediculous laws.
