Spectrum's Hwarang accused of illegally filming drunk woman naked

AKP STAFF

Spectrum's Hwarangis accused of illegally filming a drunk woman against her will.

According to reports on October 4, Spectrum member and actor Hwarang (Park Jong Chan) is facing charges for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes this past August. It's reported the 27-year-old idol invited 'A' to his home, where he illegally filmed her naked.

Reports say Hwarang and 'A' met in person for the first time on July 30, 2023 after communicating through social media. After meeting at a location in Seoul, the two reportedly went to Hwarang's home, where 'A' allegedly fell asleep intoxicated. According to 'A', Hwarang then undressed her without her consent and filmed her despite her protests.

'A' stated, "I drank above my limit at Hwarang's house and fell asleep. I then woke up to the light of a camera and the sound of a video recording, and Hwarang was filming my naked body... Though I was disoriented from the alcohol, I was scared and shook my hand, telling him not to film. I was afraid Hwarang might share the video." 

The alleged victim is claiming she's now experiencing severe anxiety when she sees camera lights, and she pressed charges after experiencing extensive anxiety symptoms. Though 'A' allegedly attempted to contact Hwarang, he changed his phone number and only responded through social media to warn her he'll report her as a stalker. 

Following the incident, Hwarang's scenes in a recent web drama have been edited out, and promotional videos with him have been made private. His social media accounts are also private, and his label is reportedly not responding to questions about the accusations. 

Stay tuned for updates.

this makes no sense. there is clearly a lot here that hasnt been told yet.

she allegedly was drinking alone with him at his house

he allegedly did that

she allegedly contacted him

he changed his number

he allegedly warned her about stalking

this could go 2 ways. either he really did that and he should be punished or she really is a sasaeng lying and she should be punished.

ig we wait

Lol. People bending over backwards to defend this guy. Why do we ALWAYS immediately give Korean men the benefit of the doubt? Why is it we cancel women for things like bad words?
