[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Singer Kim Gun-mo (51) has taken legal action against a woman, A, who claims she was assaulted by him.


According to a report by 'Ten Asia' on the 8th, Kim Gun-mo's side filed a complaint with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on the 6th, accusing an anonymous woman of spreading false information with the intent to defame, violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (Information and Communications Network Act) (defamation).


It is also known that evidence related to the incident was submitted to the prosecution.


Earlier, on December 10 last year, A revealed on the YouTube channel Garoseuro Yeonguso (Gaseyeon) that "In January 2007, at a nightclub, while having an argument with Kim Gun-mo's partner, Kim Gun-mo assaulted me several times with his fists, saying I was being noisy."


On that day, A disclosed medical records documenting orbital fractures and headaches, explaining that she was beaten.


Meanwhile, prior to A, Kim Gun-mo was accused of sexual assault by another woman, B.


B appeared on Gaseyeon and claimed, "In 2016, at a nightclub in Gangnam, Seoul, I was forced to perform obscene acts and was sexually assaulted by Kim Gun-mo." Lawyer Kang Yong-seok represented B and filed a sexual assault complaint against Kim Gun-mo.



In response, Kim Gun-mo's side filed a complaint against B on December 13 last year for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection and for false accusation.
