Actor Yoo Ah In (38), also known as Uhm Hong-sik, has been accused of sexually assaulting a man in his 30s.
On the morning of the 26th, Chosun Ilbo reported that the Seoul Yongsan Police Station charged Yoo Ah In on the 25th.
Yoo Ah In allegedly assaulted Mr. A (30) at an officetel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, on the 14th. Same-sex assault is considered quasi-rape under current law.
Mr. A realized the assault when he woke up and reported it the next day. The incident happened at a third party's place, not belonging to Yoo Ah In or Mr. A, and other men were also present.
