170314 Another Woman Filing the Report against Park Yuchun and Having Interviews was Indicted

(Seoul=Yonhapnews Lee Bo Bae reporter)

On the 14th, Investigative Division on Women and Children at Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office (Chief Prosecutor Lee Jung Hyun) made it public that they indicted Song (24, female) on charges of falsely filing a complaint against Singer Actor Park Yuchun (31) for sexual assault and giving false statements to the media (the charges of False Accusation and others) without detention.

According to Prosecutors’ Office, Song consensually had a sexual relation with Park in the entertainment place where she worked in Dec 2015. Song claimed that Park just left the place afterwards although he had asked her contact information and had told her to give his musical equipment before they had a relation.

Moreover, it was investigated that she complained about this to Jung, one of her acquaintances, but she was rather blamed for it (by Jung) so that she came to have ill feelings against Park.

Prosecutors’ Office judged that she decided to file a false complaint herself when she saw the media report that another woman received a large amount of settlement money from Park and his agency by filing the complaint against him for sexual assault last June.

Hence, Song filed a report asking “to punish Park who had sexually assaulted me while locking me in the restroom of the entertainment place” to Gangnam Police Office.

Song was also charged of having a broadcasted interview with false content (defamation by publications) after she was proposed by Jung “to be interviewed with a reporter.”

According to Prosecutors’ Office, Song met a reporter the day before she filed a complaint and was interviewed with false content that “Park took her to the restroom for talking, but he started to assault her. She told him to go outside with her, but he took the door handle and kept her from getting out.” This interview was reported the day after.

In the same month, she was also interviewed by a PD from a broadcasting system.

Prosecutors’ office concluded that those interviews were false and brought Song to the trial.

Previously, last January, Lee (25, female) who had been imprisoned and indicted on the charge of False Accusation for sexual assault against Park (the charges of False Accusation and Attempted Extortion) was sentenced for two years of imprisonment in the court.

I hadn’t written entertainment news for a while. My story (on Yoochun’s case) was almost cut in the program which focuses on major countries’ relations and other political news.

I’m glad it was eventually broadcast safely. I will be very happy if the news has given some comfort to Yoochun fans.

Even laughing while claiming sexually assaulted… ‘Park Yuchun’s accuser’ sentenced 2 years of prison terms

The women who falsely accused Park Yuchun for sexual assault was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment from the court of first instance.

Judge Choi Jong Jin from the Seoul Central District Criminal Court 15 sentenced Defendant Lee to a 2 year prison term on the charges of false accusation and attempted extortion.

Hwang (34) from a mob organization and Lee, the other Defendant Lee’s boyfriend (33), both of who had tried to extort the settlement money from Park with the above case, were sentenced to two years and six months and one year and six months each in prison.

Judge Choi pointed out that “considering the following fact that the lock of the restroom where Defendant Lee had claimed sexually assaulted could be opened from the inside to outside, it was not understandable for her not to come out of the restroom or not to ask help from the people who were present outside.”

Subsequently, the Judge also pointed out that “it was identified Lee kept having fun and dancing with Park’s party after she came out from the restroom and she was also smiling and having conversation with the waiter after they left that place.”

Judge Choi found the defendant guilty acknowledging that “the above facts sufficiently have proved Lee’s claims as false.”

Judge Choi also explained “after Park had been accused of sexual crime, he had to suffer a serious economic loss as well as a critical damage to his image, and the damage to him even reached to the level that his future activities as an entertainer would became uncertain.”

Judge Choi subsequently said that “in spite of such facts, the defendants have tried nothing to recover the damages to the victim while they constantly have made unacceptable excuses. Therefore, a severe punishment should be imposed on them.”

Lee’s boyfriend conspired with Hwang demanded the settlement money from Park on the June 4th last year after he heard from Lee that “she was sexually assaulted by Park Yuchun.” It was revealed that they had blackmailed Park’s side until the 8th of the same month with saying that “they would release this case to the media,” and “they would report to the police to punish him.”

However, when the matters did not go to the direction they wanted, Lee filed the complaint to the police against Park for sexual assault on the 10th of the same month, and a few days later, she reversed her claim with saying that “that was not an enforced sexual relation.”

Sentencing for Defendant A & Her Accomplices on the Charges of False Accusation and Attempted Extortion

I. Date and Time

Jan. 17, 2017, 9:50 AM

II. Judicial Bench

Seoul Central District Criminal Court 15 Single Judge Choi Jong Jin

III. Defendants

Lee, so-called A, charged with false accusation & attempted extortion

Lee (Defendant Lee’s boy friend, live-in lover) charged with attempted extortion

Hwang (Mob) charged with attempted extortion

IV. Sentencing

All of the defendants were sentenced to imprisonment. The terms of the imprisonment of each defendant are as follows:

1. Lee (A) – 2 years
2. Lee (A’s Boyfriend, live-in lover) -1 year and 6 months
3. Hwang (Mob) – 2 years and 6 months

Note 1: Two of the defendants, Defendant Lee (A) and her live-in lover were sentenced to the same years of imprisonment demanded by the prosecutor. Regarding the fact that there are more cases in which the actual sentencing terms are less than those demanded by the prosecutors, it was certain that the judge found the nature of this crime very malicious. Mob Hwang was sentenced to less terms of imprisonment than the prosecutor’s demand because Hwang confessed about one of the cases he was tried for (a fraud case). Hwang had been indicted and tried for three cases in the same court.

Note 2: Until the final sentencing, Defendant (now, Prisoner) Lee (A) had submitted the letter of apology 11 times since mid-December. To make the letter of apology effective, the defendants should show a sincere sign of repentance and propose some means they would execute for the recovery of the victim. Her sentencing clearly indicates those are not the case for her. Meanwhile, the prosecutor submitted the statement of opinion to the court on Jan. 12th, 2017. The prosecutors can submit the statements of opinion for various occasions and in this case, it seemed to be submitted to call on the court to impose a strong punishment for the defendants.

V. Reasons for the judgment

The reasons for the judgment explained in the following part are all from the sentencing read by Judge Choi Jong Jin on Jan. 17th, 2017 (Source:https://goo.gl/fd0DLw, https://goo.gl/YjECMF, https://goo.gl/rK5M8V, and the tweets by the Korean fans who attended the court for sentencing).

1. False Accusation

1.1) The sequence of movements by the defendant and the victim

Around 4 AM on June 4th, 2016, the alleged time of the occurrence of the false crime claimed by Defendant Lee, Park Yuchun (the victim) went into the restroom FIRST for the usual purpose of its use and Defendant Lee FOLLOWED HIM and entered it. She claimed  that she entered the restroom to help him. But, Park Yuchun was not in any state of needing an assistance for moving around or he was not too drunk at that time.  She followed him after he first entered, not entering together. If she really had helped him or he had been in the state of needing an assistance to move, she should have taken him to the restroom. Instead, she saw him entering and, then, she followed him. Thus, her claim on the reason why she entered it was not understandable. A short time after, the defendant came out first and Park came out later. Right before she entered the restroom, she was singing with the members of Park’s party who were present at that time in the room assigned for them. She voluntarily followed Park Yuchun to the restroom and there was no evidence found that she was forced to enter.

1.2) The structure of the restroom and the lock device of its door

The restroom is very small, less than 1 pyung (3.3 m2). The door was opened from inside toward outside. There was no lock device put on that door so that the door was unlocked. Thus, the door could be easily opened. It was also revealed that defendant Lee and the victim remained together in this restroom in question for a very short period of time. Considering the above facts related to the physical structure of the restroom and its door, such an enforced action of assault by violence and blackmailing was not likely to happen for such a short time. Moreover, the victim could get out of the room at any time.

1.3) The behavior of the defendant after she came out of the restroom

She kept having fun and singing with Park’s party and even gave her phone number to one of them. If she had been actually sexually assaulted, she should have escaped from the room to ask help or to report to the police. She claimed that she pretended nothing happened to hide the fact that she had been assaulted because she was so ashamed. However, such behavior of the continuance of dancing and singing with the party of her assaulter could not be accepted as an usual behavior of the victim of sexual assault.

1.4) The behavior of the defendant afterwards

The CCTV collected at that establishment showed that she was smiling and having a conversation with one of the male staffs at the counter of that place around the time when Park’s party left the place. When her work was over and she left this place, one member of Park’s party (Park’s manager) took her to her home by car. She had claimed that she decided to file the complaint to the police against Park Yuchun because she got angry by what this person said to her at that time (based on her statement of complaint submitted to the police on June, 10th, 2016). According to her, he said to her, “Would you come to my place?” She claimed she felt this person thought very low of her and got angry with his words. If that had been the case, she should have filed the complaint to the police against this person instead of Park Yuchun. In his sentencing, Judge Choi said if she was really assaulted by Park Yuchun, she would not give such statement as her reason to decide to file the complaint. Defendant Lee made a call to Kim, the sale’s manager of that place around 7 AM on June 4th, 2016. Up until this point, she had not mentioned the assault to anyone or had not reported the incidence to any investigative agency. Moreover, the phone conversation between her and the sale’s manager clearly indicated that there was hardly any possibility of her having been assaulted.

1.5) The judgment: Considering the above reasons comprehensively, it has been sufficiently proven that Defendant Lee was guilty of false accusation.

2. Attempted Extortion

2.1) Attempted extortion by two or more co-offenders

Defendant Lee (A) and her live-in lover have claimed that the extortion against Park Yuchun and C-Jes was solely done by Hwang and they had nothing to do with it. However, several evidences revealed in the trial process have proven that such claim could not be accepted. The following facts shows Defendant Lee and her live-in Lover were part of the extortion attempt.

(1) After Lee (A)’s boyfriend, live-in lover came to know about this case around 1 AM on June 5th, 2016, he came to this establishment around 7 AM and bullied the staffs. He forced them to contact Park’s agency right away or he would filed the complaint to the police. Related to this incidence, one of the staffs named Yoon testified in the court as follows; Yoon felt strongly at that time that such action was to demand the money from Park Yuchun’s agency.

(2) Defendant Lee’s live-in lover contacted Mob Hwang whom he has been acquainted with for a long time. He told Hwang that he would give certain amount of money if everything went well. He also urged Hwang not to mention the specific amount of money they wanted because it may make the price lower. The statement that he told Hwang to stand back from the deal with Park’s agency when the matter was not going to the direction they wanted was obtained as well in the trial process. When the deal with C-Jes was broken, Defendant Lee and her live-in lover excluded Hwang from the case and went to the police for falsely filing the complaint against Park Yuchun.

(3) When they had a meeting with the staffs from C-Jes including the manager whom Defendant Lee had met before, Defendant Lee went to the meeting place with the other two accomplices and explained about the incidence (actually fabricated incidence) of assault.

2.2) Attempted extortion obviously targeting monetary acquisition

The defendants have claimed that they arranged the meeting with C-Jes staffs to receive an apology. But, the evidences have fully proved that was never the case.

(1) As shown above, the testimony by Yoon, a staff from the establishment indicates Defendant Lee’s boyfriend’s intention was obviously focusing on the monetary acquisition.

(2) The fact that Lee’s boyfriend strongly requested Hwang not to mention a certain amount of money first also shows their primary intention focused on money.

(3) When these three accomplices had a meeting with the C-Jes staffs, Defendant Lee’s boy friend burst into a rage and made threats against them to file a complaint to the police while Hwang tried to stop him and suggested the settlement money. Such actions by the defendants also display where their true purpose directed to.

2.3) The intimidation of the victim

Mob Hwang and his attorney have claimed that they never have committed any actions of intimidating victim and his agency. However, considering the stress and threats that the victim and C-Jes staffs felt, such claim by the defendants could not be accepted at all. As explained above as well, when they had a meeting with C-Jes staffs, they kept intimidating them with saying that they would reveal this case to the media and file the complaint to the police.

2.4) The judgment: Considering above reasons comprehensively, it has been sufficiently proven that the defendants were guilty of attempted extortion.

3. Sentencing Terms

Firstly, the amount of money they attempted to extort was very large. Furthermore, The degree of the damage on the victim was tremendous. After Defendant Lee and her live-in lover falsely filed the complaint to the police against Park Yuchun, he had to be investigated by the police and the media had been reporting this case daily. Judge Choi pointed out that INNOCENT Park Yuchun has been living in extreme mental stress after falsely accused as sexual criminal. Judge Choi also explained Park Yuchun had to suffer a serious economic loss as well as a critical damage to his image, and the damage to him even reached to the level that his future activities as an entertainer would became uncertain. Moreover, his family also experiencing extreme mental anguish to the extent that even their normal life is impossible. In spite of such fatal damages on the victim caused by their crimes, they constantly have made unaccountable excuses without showing any repentance. The defendants have tried nothing to recover the damages for the victim either. Particularly, Hwang committed this crime of attempted extortion while he was charged with other crimes. Therefore, the nature of the crimes committed by the defendants is very serious so that a severe punishment should be imposed on them.

TITLE : Even laughing while claiming sexually assaulted… ‘Park Yuchun’s accuser’ sentenced 2 years of prison terms

Posted at 2017.01.17 11:38 AM

The women who falsely accused Park Yuchun for sexual assault received the sentence of imprisonment from the court of first instance.

Judge Choi Jong Jin from the Seoul Central District Criminal Court 15 sentenced Defendant Lee to a 2 year prison term on the charges of false accusation and attempted extortion.

Hwang (34) from a mob organization and Lee, the other Defendant Lee’s boyfriend (33), both of who had tried to extort some settlement money from Park with the above case, were received the prison term of 2 years and 6 months and the prison term of 1 year and 6 month each.

Judge Choi pointed out that “regarding the following fact that the lock of the restroom where Defendant Lee had claimed sexually assaulted could be opened from the inside to outside, it was not understandable for her not to come out of the restroom or not to ask help from the people who were present outside.”

Subsequently, the Judge also point out that “it was identified Lee kept having fun and dancing with Park’s party after she came out from the restroom and she was also smiling and having conversation with the waiter after they left that place.”

Judge Choi found the defendant guilty acknowledging that “the above facts sufficiently have proved Lee’s claims as false.”

Judge Choi also explained “after Park had been accused of sexual crime, he had to suffer a serious economic loss as well as a critical damage to his image, and the damage to him even reached to the level that his future activities as an entertainer would became uncertain.”

Judge Choi subsequently said that “in spite of such fact, the defendants have tried nothing to recover the damages to the victim while they constantly have made unacceptable excuses. Therefore, a severe punishment should be imposed on them.”

Lee’s boyfriend conspired with Hwang demanded the settlement money from Park on the June 4th last year after he heard from Lee that “she was sexually assaulted by Park Yuchun.” It was revealed that they had blackmailed Park’s side until the 8th of the same month with saying that “they would release this case to the media,” and “they would report to the police to punish him.”

However, when the matters did not go to the direction they wanted, Lee filed the complaint to the police against Park for sexual assault on the 10th of the same month, and a few days later, she reversed her claim with saying that “that was not an enforced sexual relation.”

A woman, surnamed Lee, who falsely accused JYJ’s Park Yoo-chun of sexual assault, received a two year jail sentence

A woman, surnamed Lee, who falsely accused JYJ’s Park Yoo-chun of sexual assault, received a two year jail sentence on Tuesday. 

The Seoul Central District Court found Lee guilty of false accusations.

“It was found that Lee kept dancing with Park’s party even after she came back from the restroom -- where she argued to be raped -- and she talked and laughed with waiters after the party left the bar,” the court said as the reason to decide her accusation false. 

The court also sentenced Lee’s cousin Hwang to two and a half years and Lee’s boyfriend one and a half years in prison for attempted extortion. The two threatened Park and his agency saying that they would sue the singer and spread the case to media unless Park pays them the settlement. 

“Based on the circumstances of the threat, the details of the case and the requested amount, the case is very serious,” the court said. 

In June 2016, Park was accused of raping Lee inside the restroom of the bar she was working at. Following the case, three other woman accused him for the same charge. 

Lee later withdrew the case saying that it was not a forced sexual encounter, flip-flopping her original argument. Park countersued Lee for the charges of false accusation and extortion.

[INFO/TRANS] The 7th trial of three defendants for false accusation and attempted extortion on Dec. 22nd

7th trial of Miss Lee and 2 others (Mob Hwang and Mr. Lee) for false accusation and attempted extortion was held by Jongjin Choi, Judge in Seoul Central District Court on Dec 22nd.

These are defendants and their charges.

1. Defendant 1, Miss Lee : A girl in an adult facility has been imprisoned since she was arrested and indicted for false accusation and attempted extortion (She submitted letters of apology total 9 times on Dec 6th , 8th , 13th, 14th, 15th,16th, 21st, 27th and 28th)

2. Defendant 2, Mr. Lee : Miss Lee’s cohab has been indicted for attempted extortion. (He has never written a letter of apology) Last June, he did not show up for police investigation. Instead, he had interviews with Kmedia very hard.

3. Defendant 3. Mob Hwang : He has been imprisoned since he was arrested and indicted for attempted extortion. He stands trial for 2 other fraud charges including Yuchun’s case (He submitted a letter of apology 3 times on Dec 7th, 13th and 20th). Kmedia still reports him as Miss Lee’s cousin which is not true.

7th trial of three defendants for false accusation and attempted extortion was started at 4 pm as scheduled.

Defendant Miss Lee came into courtroom with a white envelope wearing ivory prison uniform.

Defendant Mob Hwang came into courtroom in sky-blue prison uniform.

On 7th trial, the interrogation of Miss Lee and Mr. Lee (Miss Lee’s cohab) was carried out for Mob Hwang’s case. This trial was proceeded in closed court for Yuchun Park’s Privacy as previous trials.

The private interrogation took about 2 hours and 40 minutes from 4:02 pm to 6:42 pm.

Demand for three defendants by the prosecutor

After private interrogation, the prosecutor demanded imprisonment for each defendants.

1. Defendant Miss Lee : A 2-year jail term for false accusation and attempted extortion

2. Defendant Mr. Lee (Miss Lee’s cohab): Attempted extortion. His crime is nasty because his target was a celebrity. But he was involved in this case for his girlfriend, he was demanded a 1 and 1/2-year jail term.

3. Defendant Hwang : On the period of cumulative offense, he took part in this case showing off his power. He stated that he participated in due to chivalry, but it is hard to trust him. Also, Defendant Mr. Lee stated that he guaranteed Mr. Hwang financial benefit if the case goes well. The prosecutor confirmed Defendant Hwang’s 2 other fraud charged. He was demanded a 3-1/2-year jail term. As assumed from period of cumulative offense, he has criminal record.

Cumulative offense : Usually, it is an offense committed by repeating s similar act at different times. In criminal law, only offense is called as cumulative offense when someone who receives at least imprisonment again within 3 years after completion of sentence or exemption from sentence (Article 35 of Criminal Law).

Closing Argument from lawyers of defendants

First of all, Mob Hwang’s lawyer made a closing argument. The lawyer defended long-widely acting like he was filming a courtroom drama. In conclusion, Defendant Hwang did not show off his power as a gangster, and also he did not receive any financial benefit. However, it is just defense. No one would write any letter of apology if they were innocent.

This is confirmed by Defendant Hwang’s lawyer

– Defendant Mr. Lee(Miss Lee’s cohab) asked Mr. Hwang for help.

– On 1st trial, lawyer of Miss Lee and Mr. Lee mentioned about Mr. Hwang’s a 10-year-old friend Mr. Lee.

– The Mr. Lee is Defendant Mr. Lee.

– Therefore, Defendant Mr. Lee and Defendant Mr. Hwang are 10-year-old friend and a year apart.

Later, closing argument was conducted by lawyer of defendants Miss Lee and Defendant Mr. Lee. The closing argument took a short time unexpectedly. They defended that they are not guilty of false accusation and attempted extortion. However, it is also just defense. Defendant Miss Lee has submitted letters of apology total 9 times when final trial is approaching. Why did she write so many letters of apology if she is not guilty?

Final statement from three defendants

Judge allowed three defendants to speak what they want.

First of all, Defendant Hwang stated that he tried to help Miss Lee who is the weak, and he apologized for bringing on public criticism. If he had been a real Miss Lee’s cousin as Kmedia said, he would have confirmed their relationship at that moment. From 1st trial to 7th trial, a word of “cousin” has never been mentioned in the courtroom.

It is hard to agree that Miss Lee is really the weak because she used Mr. Lee and Mob Hwang to manipulate Media very hard.

Secondly, Defendant Mr. Lee (Miss Lee’s cohab) stood up.

The commotion broke out in the courtroom when Mr. Lee started his words with “Loved my girlfriend”.

It is hard to understand him because real boyfriend does not send girlfriend to adult facility. Want to hear what feminist organization or feminists would say about it. Why have feminist organization and feminists remained silence regarding Mr. Lee and Mob Hwang?

This is the highlight of Defendant Mr. Lee’s final statement.

“I have never met any reporter and had any interview with Kmedia.”

On June 28th 2016, there is a video of PD Note which was on air throughout the country, but he is still lying!!! It showed clearly that all words from Mr. Lee including Miss Lee and Mob Hwang are false. They started with false accusation and ended with false defense.

MBC PD Note interviewed Mr. Lee on June.

Lastly, Defendant Miss Lee stood up. She took out white paper from prepared envelop differently from Mr. Lee and Mr. Hwang and she read. Then, she started crying that she seemed to be prepared. Although she was crying, she read clearly. So everyone can hear. She looked like acting. She seemed to be an actress who reads lines clearly even while crying.

Miss Lee made a final statement, desperate and crying longer than her lawyer.

She was like reading a false complaint. Moreover, she seemed not to realize what she did wrong. She stated that she withdrew complaint because she was worried about Mr. Lee if he would be accused. If it is not false accusation, why did Mr. Lee let loved girlfriend withdraw complaint?

Defendant Miss Lee said “victim” when she needed to mention Yuchun Park. No one knows who wrote the paper, but she accepted that Yuchun is a Victim officially in court.

She mentioned that she wants go back to her family as soon as possible. However, she lives with defendant Mr. Lee currently. Where is her family that she wants to return. Totally non-sense

After private interrogation and the Prosecutor’s demand, the closing arguments of three defendants for 20 min was like a crappy soap opera.

Exaggerating lawyer seemed to be aware of Media.

Defendant Miss Lee made a final statement desperate and crying.

Defendant Mr. Lee who loves Defendant Miss Lee the most, but he sent her to adult facility.

Final trial will be held on Jan 17th 2017.

The judge will reach a verdict on the trial.

So curious how this crappy soap opera will be end.

The trial ended at 4:57 PM. The 7th trial will be on the 22nd of Dec.

Note 7: On this trial day, few members of the feminist organization who have supported the defendants attended the court. One person from this organization put her hand on the Defendant Lee (A)’s shoulder and tried to talk to her. The court service officer restrained that person and told her it wasn’t allowed to talk to the Defendants.

Note 8: There were three news reports on this 6th trial.

– Lee Eun Ho (BizEnter) posted at 8:43 AM

– Yun Seong Yeol (Star News) posted at 12:01 PM

– Im Ji Yeon (Herald POP) posted at 6:31 PM

As the list above is showing, two news reports were posted before the trial time and the reporters from these two newspapers didn’t attend the court. The reporter from Herald POP was the ONLY one who came to the court for the 6th trial.

161201 Fifth Trial of Defendant A & Her Accomplices on Charges of False Accusation and Attempted Extortion

1. Date and Time
Dec. 01, 2016, 4 PM

Note 1: The trial was scheduled to start at 4:00 pm, but due to the delay of the previous trial assigned for the same courtroom, it started around 4:10 PM.

2. Judicial Bench

Seoul Central District Criminal Court 15 Single Judge Choi Jong Jin

3. Defendants

1) Lee, so-called A, charged with false accusation & attempted extortion, imprisoned

2) Hwang (mob) charged with attempted extortion, imprisoned

3) Lee (Defendant Lee’s boy friend) charged with attempted extortion, not imprisoned

Note 2: This case is the case of false accusation and attempted extortion. The above three people stand the trial as the defendants. Many of Korean newspapers still mislead the information on the relationships among the three defendants. Many of them still report Defendant Hwang is Defendant Lee (A)’s cousin, but it is NOT true. Mob Hwang was introduced to the other two defendants to plan and execute their crime when they premeditated it (Refer to this posting by 6002Sky https://goo.gl/7rFudU).

Note 3: Mob Hwang was indicted for two other fraud cases. Thus, all three cases were consolidated together and he has been tried for three cases at the same court. Under the Korean Criminal Procedure Act, Article 300, the court may order the consolidation of oral proceedings (i.e., trial cases) upon request of a prosecutor or defense counsel or ex officio to reduce repetitive procedures.

4. The Testimony of the Witnesses

Two witnesses testified at the 5th trial. The witness testimony was held at the closed court for the protection of the victim, Yuchun. The first witness was C-JeS CEO, Baek Chang Joo. His testimony ended around 5:30 PM. The second witness was Baek’s father. He entered the court at 5:30 PM and came out of it 6:26 PM.

5. The End of the 5th Trial

After the testimony by these two witnesses, the Judge discussed with the Defense Counsel and the Prosecutors about accepting the submitted material as the evidences. The trial ended at 6:40 PM. The next trial date is the 8th of Dec.

Note 4: Different from the 4th trial, not many reporters appeared in the court for their coverage of this case. 9 reports came out from 7 newspapers. Ilgan Sports and News 1 posted 2 reports each.

Note 5: The fence has been set up outside of the court door to prevent approaching for eavesdropping since the 3rd trial and it was there on the 5th trial day as well. However, a tremendously absurd incidence happened during the trial and many Korean fans witnessed it. Around 5 PM when the testimony by the first witness has proceeded, a female reporter with long hair and grey winter jumper stole the moment of the absence of the court staffs and entered into the fence area. Although the fans pointed out her behavior, she didn’t move insisting that she was checking the notice put on the wall just beside the court door. After a court staff told her to move, she reluctantly came back to the area beyond the fence line. Such attitude of this reporter was another example of an unscrupulous behavior of the Korean reporters which we have been witnessing since the day one of this case. They have no intention to protect the victim of a vicious crime. They only pursue the number of clicks and the resulting compensation from it. If there had been no fans, what would she have done? She may have done the same thing as two reporters sticking to the court door and eavesdropping on the 2nd trial day when there had been no fence.
