K-drama Goblin star Kim Go-eun and actress Go Joon-hee deny involvement in K-pop sex party
- SBS investigative TV report rekindles allegations about which K-pop stars and actresses were involved in sex and drugs-fuelled party at Seoul nightclub
The K-pop sex scandal, which cut BIGBANG singer Seungri’s career short, has been rekindled after an investigative TV report on Saturday raised a fresh allegation about an actress in her 30s.
According to the report, the unnamed actress took drugs at a drug-fuelled party at the Burning Sun nightclub on the day a man identified by his last name Kim was assaulted.
Several actresses took action amid the allegations. Actress Go Joon-hee filed a libel suit against 12 people who spread rumours about her regarding the Burning Sun nightclub, and Han Hyo-joo denied attending the party which the SBS programme brought to light. Two others, Jung Eun-chae and Kim Go-eun, also denied that they were involved in the party.
Actress Go Joon-hee filed a libel suit on Saturday against internet users who raised and spread rumours about Go possibly being one of the unnamed actresses mentioned in former BIG BANG member Seungri’s infamous group chat.
The action came weeks after she threatened to sue those spreading rumours for defamation. She denied that she was the one mentioned in the group chat as “an actress in New York, therefore unavailable to provide sexual services for Seungri’s overseas investors”.
“There will be no change in Go’s no-mercy policy towards rumourmongers and she will take every possible legal measure, including civil and criminal suits, against anyone who spreads groundless stories about her,” Go’s attorney, from OhKims Law & Company, said.
The law firm said Go suffered enormous economic losses because the baseless rumours tarnished her image as an actress.
