[UPDATE] Woman accuses famous comedian 'Lee' of raping her when she was in high school, 'Lee' claims he's being blackmailed

[bb4]

The comedian, with last name 'Lee', became popular after debuting through a broadcast station and appearing in their comedy shows. 'A' met for an interview with SBS funE, and revealed, "In my second year of high school, Lee called me out to eat with him. He said he couldn't eat out because he was a celebrity, and called me to his house. That's where it happened."

 
The harassment happened in August 2005. 'A' had come to Korea on vacation while studying abroad, and met comedian Lee through a common friend. Her friend was a third year in high school, while 'A' was 18 years old and in the second year. Lee was 24 years old at the time. 'A' was not familiar with the Korean entertainment industry. She knew Lee was a comedian, but not about how famous he was.

She revealed, "It was a place in Deungchon-dong. A one-room with one kitchen. It was long. He asked me to fold his clothes for him so I did, and he told me to come watch TV with him." He kissed her without her consent, and then said, "You're from overseas, so you have a lot of experience doing this, right?" before trying to have sex with her. 
 
She was certain Lee knew she was underage. Not only did she look young, but her mini-hompy, where she was friends with him, clearly stated that she was in high school. She denied she had any experience, but raped her.
 
She said, "I remember the color of underwear I was wearing, and how he acted after he found out it was my first time. He washed my bloody clothes and told me to go wash up in the bathroom. I was shocked at what happened and I cleaned myself in the bathroom."
 
After when 'One Night of TV Entertainment' aired, he told her he had to go attend to schedules. She said, "He took me in his dark SUV and dropped me off at a nearby station. I remember how he told me to kiss his cheek when I got off."

She used her sister's ID to be prescribed a Plan B pill, and then decided to bury it. However, when she saw the #MeToo Movement, she found courage to talk about it. She said, "I couldn't tell my parents. If I reported it, I thought my parents would have a hard time. I didn't tell anyone except the one friend who went with me to the obstetrician. I thought the pain would fade, but it hasn't."

She said, "What I want is for him to repent, and to publicly state his crimes to possible other underage victims, and to apologize sincerely. After that summer, he didn't contact me at all, and then contacted me in the winter through Cyworld asking, 'How are you doing?' He doesn't know what he did wrong. I lost my first experience like that and spent time in pain. I hope he knows what kind of crime he committed."
 
SBS funE contacted Lee, who could not remember until he heard a few information about 'A'. He said, "I didn't know she was underage at the time, and only had intercourse because I liked her. If I thought I had raped her, why would I contact her again? I didn't know she remembered that day like that. If that hurt her, I must apologize. If I have the chance, I want to talk to her directly. If I can, I want to clear misunderstandings. I support the #MeToo Movement, and I'm shocked that I am one of the targets. I can't believe it." 

'A' is currently looking at taking legal action.

UPDATE
 
 
Woman 'A' had accused Lee of raping her when she was underage, when she was only 18 and he was 24. However, in an interview with STARin, comedian Lee said, "If that's true, I will hang myself and commit suicide right now."
 
 

 
He revealed, "I was introduced to 'A' through a dongsaeng I knew. He introduced her to me as his girlfriend's friend. I liked how pretty she was as well as her personality, so we exchanged contact information and started meeting up. I had no idea she was underage. I met her first at a bar. I never thought she was underage. If I knew she was underage, I'd have to be pretty stupid as a celebrity to keep seeing her."

He continued to say, "While I was seeing 'A', I learned she was underage, was shocked, and stopped contacting her. A man and woman naturally met, started dating, and the emotions that were spent together became convoluted to raping a minor. Is that what the #MeToo Movement is about?"

He then said, "The dongsaeng that introduced me to 'A' kept in contact with 'A' until recently. After I stopped contacting her, I heard that she even came to where I was recording with a friend. However, I heard that 'A' asked the dongsaeng to borrow 10 million KRW (approximately 9,300 USD). When he refused, they argued, and she threatened to report him for sexual harassment, and he was even investigated. Afterward, she told him that she wanted to come to a [monetary] agreement."
 
Finally, he revealed, "This time as well, before the news broke out, someone revealing themselves as 'A's lawyer texted me on February 28th. They told me, 'You raped a minor, so you can be sentenced up to a life sentence. Will you come to a [monetary] agreement? If you don't, we will sue you and release an article'. Because of this, I had met with a lawyer on the day I received that text message to sue for defamation of character and blackmail. From this moment on, I will be taking strong legal action. However, it's disappointing because I think I've been irreparably damaged as a celebrity."

[roshg]

"if I had raped her, why would I contact her" ...... what the fuck bro? expose him I'm tired of this bullshi. You got no right to even breathe the same air as her rn

[Kinn]

the floodgates have opened.

the floodgates have opened.

[sammydee]

The man took advantage of a child and now he's saying he didn't know she was underage at that time? I call bullshit and Also even if she wasn't underage how did he even think the girl was okay with it? I'm sure she protested

[parkyeols]

Not liking him using the word Target, this movement isn't about targeting people, it's about getting the truth out there.

well if he's a rapist it makes sense that he would think of it that way 

[Winter Bear]

Ik, it's just such a stupid way for him to try to defend himself, especially when he describes the movement that way.

[Humming_bird]

The world is full of scums and I hope everyone gets exposed.

[pastelcake]

Another one...shit

"I couldn't tell my parents. If I reported it, I thought my parents would have a hard time. I didn't tell anyone except the one friend who went with me to the obstetrician. I thought the pain would fade, but it hasn't."

 

This is so painful, Imagine how hard it is for her, good thing she had her friend.

 

"I didn't know she was underage at the time, and only had intercourse because I liked her"

 

bullshit. what about the girl's feelings?!!

[bb4]

yep

I hope they reveal his name

[kish]

"I didn't know she was underage at the time, and only had intercourse because I liked her"

 

ah, he's that illogical, huh? Basically, if your partner refuse to do that, but you still forced your partner, regardless of the partner's age, it's still wrong.

[No1]

Reveal this scumbag’s name.

[Lizzo]

disgusting

[�5150]

Another disgusting scumbag.

[Winter Bear]

yep

I hope they reveal his name

  

 

I'm surprised knetz haven't said a name yet.

How messed up does it sound, like it's all about him and still no hint of consent.

[seola]

So messy, I hope it's not a false accusation, the way it seems to be shaping up to be, that really undermines what this movement is about.

hm.  :/ idk what to think.  his story is pretty detailed and doesn't seem haphazardly thrown together like a lot of the "it's blackmail" type defenses go...

[felidae]

He didn't deny he raped her, "not knowinh she's underage" or not.

So.

 

ngl my heart soared when i saw "comedian" "lee" bc as good as my fave in acting, people know him more as comedian. But he joined the show on 2007 and he was 22-23 at that time. I'm fully aware that while my faves have good image, i know nothing about them, so im fully prepared if they're accused of criminals
