Investigation Launched into 'Yoon Hyung-bin Exposure Post'... Comedian Aspirant's Threat Sparks 'Truth Dispute' in Police Hands

Busan Nambu Police Station Receives Complaint from Mr. Yoon's Side, Assigned to Criminal Division for 'Threat' Allegation

Busan Nambu Police Station.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Was it ‘threatening’ or ‘bullying’? The truth behind a comedian hopeful’s ‘Yoon Hyung-bin exposure post’ will be revealed through a police investigation.

On the 18th, the Busan Southern Police Station announced that it had assigned the case to the criminal division on the 17th following a complaint from Yoon Hyung-bin’s side and is conducting an investigation into comedian hopeful A on charges including threats.

The case arose from posts by A on an online community about verbal abuse, aiding and abetting assault, and wage exploitation allegedly suffered from Yoon Hyung-bin’s side.

Yoon Hyung-bin’s side stated, “The exposure content regarding Mr. Yoon Hyung-bin is completely false and has damaged his image and reputation.”

They explained the reason for filing a complaint against A, saying, “We have been threatened several times before with spreading false information.”

Even after the complaint was filed, A’s exposure post titled ‘I accuse Yoon Hyung-bin’ was posted, and baseless content is spreading. They stated their intention to take legal action against speculative reports and online comments.

On the other hand, A revealed experiences of group bullying, verbal abuse, and violence suffered after joining Yoon Hyung-bin’s small theater in Daeyeon-dong, Nam-gu, Busan in 2015 through an online community.

A, who was 19 years old at the time of joining, claimed to have endured verbal abuse and assault from other adult members for over a year.

In the exposure post, A said there were two things hoped for from Yoon Hyung-bin: to be allowed to participate in performances and to stop the bullying by the members, but these were not fulfilled.

A also revealed that instead of studying acting, they were assigned to handle sound work and received a monthly salary of 500,000 won for over a year, claiming they were only exploited as a young person.

The Busan Southern Police Station stated, “The charges are threats, etc., but since the case is at the assignment stage, there is currently no progress in the investigation.”
