Park Yoochun Meets Uijeongbu Mayor After Gamchi Trial... "To Give Life Advice" View original image


[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] It has been confirmed that singer and actor Park Yoo-chun, who was undergoing detention trial at Uijeongbu District Court, met with Uijeongbu Mayor Ahn Byung-yong immediately after the trial.


An official from Uijeongbu City Hall stated, "Park Yoo-chun and Mayor Ahn Byung-yong had a meeting in Uijeongbu City on the 22nd," adding, "They met to share encouraging words that might help Mr. Park, who has been going through a difficult time lately, in his life."


Mayor Ahn began his third term starting from the 5th local election in 2010. He is known for his deep interest in calligraphy and tea ceremony, enjoys playing baduk (Go), and is said to have a special affection for the world-renowned b-boy team 'Fusion MC.'


As Park, who recently resumed his entertainment activities including the publication of a photo book, met with the city, there is speculation that he might be planning to promote projects linking culture and tourism in collaboration with Uijeongbu City.


Previously, Park Yoo-chun appeared at Uijeongbu District Court on the 22nd for a detention trial. He had filed a complaint against one of four women who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by him in the past, accusing her of false accusation and other charges.


As the case ended with the woman being cleared of charges, Park Yoo-chun was held liable for damages in a compensation lawsuit. However, in December last year, the woman filed a property disclosure request citing Park's failure to pay the compensation, and since Park did not comply, a detention trial was held on the 22nd.



Additionally, in July last year, Park Yoo-chun was indicted in April for allegedly purchasing 1.5g of methamphetamine three times with his ex-girlfriend Hwang Hana (31), the granddaughter of the founder of Namyang Dairy Products, and using the drug six times at Hwang’s residence located in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
