A celebrity reporter has stated that Roy Kim is innocent of sexual misconduct.
The February 24th broadcast of Channel A's 'Rumour Has It' addressed Roy Kim's situation. Celebrity journalist Kim Ji Hyun stated: "Many people don't know that Roy Kim, Jung Joon Young, and Choi Jong Hoon were part of a fishing group chat. Fishing as in catching actual fish. In that room, there was a dissemination of pornographic images of an entertainer at the time. That's why Roy Kim captured a picture from a blog to clarify and say 'that's not that person in the picture' and this fact became twisted to him saying that he was releasing pornographic images. He didn't upload the image to release pornographic images but to say that the picture was edited."
The reporter continued stating: "He didn't receive any sentence but just the fact that he was investigated is continually degrading his image. So he can't promote as of now and I wanted people to know this unknown story."
What do you think of these recent statements?

This was the problem with the media coverage for this whole case. The media edited the chats, they wrongly attributed quotes to people (they attributed the same quotes to multiple people at times), they made insinuations that the chats themselves didn't provide any evidence for and they didn't make it clear that JJY had multiple chatrooms with lots of different people, a lot of whom had absolutely nothing to do with the molka or the rape charges.
