[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A male singer and composer in his 40s, A, who belongs to a famous band and has been booked on charges of sexually assaulting his girlfriend and illegal filming, has completely denied the allegations against him.
On the 11th, A opened his blog and said, "First, I offer my condolences to the deceased. I also extend my sympathies to the bereaved family and relatives."
He continued, "Last night (the 10th), I was summoned by the police for the first time and attended for questioning, calmly stating that the accusations are completely untrue."
He said, "I am cautious now as it could potentially harm the deceased, but I believe that soon all misunderstandings and falsehoods will be cleared up, and the truth of the case and my innocence will be clearly revealed. Until then, I ask that you withhold judgment for a while."

Earlier, MBC Newsdesk reported on the 3rd that Song, a singer hopeful in her 20s, left a suicide note saying she was "hurt and suffered by people" before taking an extreme step.
According to the report, Song’s father found messages on his deceased daughter's phone, sent to acquaintances two months before her death, pleading with statements such as "Someone drugged my drink," "I realized too late that I was treated worse than anyone else," and "I can't do anything, and I feel like I'm losing my mind."
The accused perpetrator is A, a singer and composer who once dated Song. Song’s acquaintances explained that during their relationship, Song was distressed after seeing illegal videos sent by A.
