[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Lee Geun, a former reserve captain known for the YouTube content 'Fake Men,' recently denied past sexual harassment allegations, prompting the victim to express regret.


On the 14th, lawyer Ha Seo-jung, representing the victim of the sexual harassment case involving former Captain Lee, issued a statement saying, "The perpetrator, Captain Lee Geun, should immediately cease making any statements aimed at hiding his wrongdoing related to this case and refrain from any further comments."


She also criticized, "The perpetrator, Captain Lee Geun, denied the confirmed court ruling and released a statement asserting false facts, which caused great shock to the victim," adding, "Currently, countless secondary damages such as speculative remarks, defamation, and insults against the victim are occurring on the internet."


Lawyer Ha stated, "The victim does not know how this case became public and has not reported it to the media or YouTube channels," and added, "If rumors, defamation, or insulting remarks are posted online in the future, we plan to take legal action."



Earlier, former Captain Lee acknowledged being punished for a past sexual harassment incident but denied the act of harassment itself. He explained, "I clearly did not commit any harassment, and evidence proving that I did not harass was presented, but the court ruling was made based solely on the victim's consistent testimony as the only evidence."
