View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan, Intern Reporter Kang Joohee] Lawyer Kang Yongseok remains silent amid allegations that he fabricated the assault case involving famous blogger Dodomom (Kim Mina).
On the 5th, Kang Yongseok conducted a live broadcast on the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (Gaseyeon). During the broadcast, when supportive messages related to the Dodomom case appeared in the chat window, he said, "I will not waver," and added, "Many people are telling me not to waver, so I will work even harder."
He continued, "Many people are encouraging me. Please support me by subscribing." Comments from viewers requesting explanations during the live broadcast were deleted.
Earlier, on the 4th, 'Dispatch' obtained and reported text messages exchanged between Kang Yongseok and Dodomom during the 2015 'Dodomom assault case.'
The text messages contained content about falsely and exaggeratedly accusing the assault case involving securities company executive Mr. A as a rape injury case to receive a large settlement.
In the conversation released by Dispatch, Kang Yongseok actively encouraged false accusations, saying, "I wonder how about rape injury. We might get between 300 million and 500 million won." Furthermore, he recommended an investigation at the One-Stop Center, saying, "Only female police officers investigate sexual violence victims separately. If you do that once, the amount jumps to billions."
