[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Baek Yoon-sik announced that he will sue his ex-girlfriend K, who accused him of forgery of private documents and other charges, for false accusation.

On the 2nd, his agency Fantagio stated, "We have confirmed circumstances that K, a reporter who was once in a relationship with Baek Yoon-sik, recently unilaterally published a book revealing events that occurred during their relationship and even filed a criminal complaint in the process."

They continued, "We have verified all the events that took place between Baek Yoon-sik and reporter K around 2013," and added, "At that time, there was a smooth agreement that K would not disclose any more matters related to Baek Yoon-sik on the condition that K withdraw the lawsuit filed by Baek Yoon-sik’s side, and it has been confirmed that K personally signed the agreement."

Furthermore, "Reporter K has blatantly violated the agreement made 8 years ago by publishing a book related to Baek Yoon-sik, denying the existence of the agreement she personally signed, and proceeding with a criminal complaint," and "Regarding the criminal complaint, we plan to file a complaint for false accusation with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office within this week," the agency informed.

The agency also stated, "We have filed a provisional injunction with the Seoul Central District Court to prohibit the publication and sale of the book that reporter K intends to publish," and expressed "strong regret toward reporter K, who is forcing the publication of the book mentioning the actor’s real name to provoke public curiosity again over a matter that was amicably resolved between the parties 8 years ago."

Reporter K filed a complaint with the Seoul Bangbae Police Station on the 28th of last month, accusing Baek Yoon-sik of forgery of private documents and co-forgery. It is known that she submitted the complaint claiming that during the process of withdrawing the lawsuit after their breakup in 2013, an agreement containing a non-disclosure clause was falsely drafted without her consent.

Previously, when photos of Baek Yoon-sik and K together in 2013 were reported by the media, they revealed that despite a 30-year age gap, they were dating. They broke up three weeks after acknowledging their relationship, and K had announced a press conference claiming she was assaulted by Baek Yoon-sik’s two sons but later canceled it.

Recently, K wrote an essay titled "Alcohol Survivor" recounting those times. Baek Yoon-sik’s side filed a provisional injunction to prohibit the publication and sale of the book, which was published on the 2nd.
