[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Composer Jung Babi (real name Jung Daewook, 41), who is accused of secretly filming his ex-lover's body, denied some of the charges again in his second trial.

The Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 6 (Judge Gong Seongbong) held the second hearing on the afternoon of the 23rd for Jung, who is charged with violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming and distribution using cameras, etc.) and assault.

With the court replaced and the trial procedures renewed, Jung's side stated, as in the first trial, "We admit to slapping the victim A's cheek and pulling her right arm, but deny the other charges."

The defense also stated regarding the 'illegal filming' charge, "Consent was obtained from all victims for the filming."

Subsequently, the witness examination was conducted behind closed doors due to the possibility of mentioning some victim details.

Jung was indicted in 2019 for secretly filming the body of his ex-lover and aspiring singer B. B claimed she was also sexually assaulted by Jung and confided her suffering to acquaintances before taking her own life the following year.

Jung is also charged with assaulting another victim A in 2020 and secretly filming her body.
