As the police begin investigating Yoo Ah In for alleged sexual assault, his lawyer has denied the accusations against him.
On July 26, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station revealed that they had received a criminal complaint from a 30-year-old man (hereafter referred to as “A”) accusing Yoo Ah In of sexual assault.
“A” claimed that Yoo Ah In had sexually assaulted him on July 14 while he was sleeping at an apartment in Seoul’s Yongsan District. The apartment in question is neither A’s nor Yoo Ah In’s residence, and it is said that there were other men present at the time. The police questioned A about the case on July 25, and A is said to have tested negative for drugs.
“We have not yet contacted the accused [Yoo Ah In] about the case,” stated the police. “We plan to call him in for questioning soon.”
That same morning, Yoo Ah In’s lawyer, Park Jung Hyun, denied the allegations of sexual assault.
“The claims in the criminal complaint involving Yoo Ah In are not true,” stated the attorney. “Additionally, we ask that you refrain from unnecessary speculation regarding his personal life.”
