Actor Jin Arim Accused of Ordering Assault... Jin's Side Files Counterclaim for False Accusation

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 30s who claimed to have been assaulted by individuals hired by actress Jin Arim (32, real name Park Semi) after exposing her abusive behavior has filed a complaint with the police.

On the 15th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that Mr. A (30) filed a complaint against Jin on charges of instigating special injury or violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (joint injury). He also filed complaints against three men, stating, "They committed the crime under Jin's orders."

In his complaint, Mr. A claimed, "Around 2:30 a.m. on the 28th of last month, while I was in a car near Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, I was assaulted by one of the three men, resulting in injuries requiring four weeks of medical treatment. The other two men acted as lookouts and participated," adding that the vehicle was also partially damaged.

Mr. A alleges that Jin is behind the three men, whom he had never seen before, throwing punches.

He stated that the retaliation was triggered after he publicly revealed on Facebook that Jin had demanded "free sponsorship for celebrities" at a pub run by his acquaintance on the 24th of last month.

Mr. A also requested punishment for Jin on charges of defamation and insult under the Information and Communications Network Act, saying, "After the assault incident, Jin used humiliating expressions about the complainant on Facebook and other platforms."

Jin has denied the allegations of ordering the assault. Through her social media accounts, she stated, "I have filed complaints against Mr. A at the Suseo Police Station in Seoul for false accusation, as well as extortion, threats, insults, and defamation," claiming that she is the one suffering from Mr. A's allegations and threats.

The police plan to review the complaints and summon both parties in turn for investigation.
