[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Singer Kim Gun-mo (52), who is accused of sexual assault, appeared at the police station.

On the 15th at around 10:23 a.m., Kim appeared at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul with his lawyer to undergo suspect questioning regarding the sexual assault charges. When asked by reporters whether he admitted to the sexual assault allegations, Kim remained tight-lipped and headed to the interrogation room.

Earlier, the police have been investigating the sexual assault allegations against Kim since December of last year. On the 9th, they conducted a search and seizure of Kim’s vehicle, securing records from the vehicle’s GPS system and reportedly carried out forensic analysis.

However, during this investigation, the police are expected to focus solely on the sexual assault charges against Kim. Separate schedules are planned for the counterclaims Kim filed against the women alleging victimization, including defamation.

On the 6th of last month, the YouTube channel Garoseuro Research Institute (Gaseyeon), featuring lawyer Kang Yong-seok and others, reported that Ms. A, who worked at a nightlife establishment in August 2016, claimed she was sexually assaulted by Kim. On the 9th of last month, Ms. A filed a complaint with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office through lawyer Kang Yong-seok and others. The Gangnam Police Station, which received the case, is conducting an investigation. In response, Kim filed a defamation and false accusation complaint against Ms. A at the Gangnam Police Station.

Additionally, the Gangnam Police Station has been investigating another case since last week after Kim filed a defamation complaint against Mr. B, who appeared on Gaseyeon and claimed he was assaulted by Kim at a nightlife establishment in January 2007.
