The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s cybercrime investigation unit said on the 20th that it summoned Hwang Ui-jo, who is suspected of illegal filming, as a suspect on the 18th.
In June, Internet user A, who claimed to be Hwang Ui-jo’s ex-lover, posted a post saying that Hwang Ui-jo was causing damage by having sex with a number of women. In particular, A posted photos and videos of Hwang Ui-jo, who seemed to have sex with a woman, on his SNS account.
As the privacy controversy erupted, Hwang Ui-jo claimed that after his mobile phone was stolen in November last year, he received threatening messages from May this year, such as “I will distribute (photos), “Expect,” and “It will be fun if it is released.” Afterwards, he filed a complaint with Seongdong Police Station asking for an investigation into a netizen who sent a threatening message by impersonating his girlfriend. 토토사이트
The police have transferred the case to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s cybercrime investigation unit for investigation. Hwang Ui-jo is said to have denied the allegations in a police investigation.
On the 16th of this month, the police also arrested A, who is suspected of threatening Hwang Ui-jo by posting a post revealing his personal life and threatening him (accusing of filming using cameras, etc. under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act).
And on the 20th, Hwang Ui-jo’s side opened his mouth. Hwang Ui-jo, a legal representative (Daehwan, a law firm), said, “Hwang Ui-jo has been suffering from constant threats since May 7, 2023. The blackmailer illegally leaked the video of Hwang Ui-jo and his past lover, and after that, there were indiscriminate dissemination of people who were not sure if they were the same person and demand money, he claimed.
Hwang Ui-jo’s legal representative said, “The video shows a woman who dated Hwang Ui-jo in the past, but what is clear is that Hwang Ui-jo is not currently in possession of the video and has never leaked it,” adding, “As previously stated in the official position, the video was contained in Hwang Ui-jo’s personal phone, which was lost (presumed to be stolen) in Greece in November 2022, and is about Hwang Ui-jo’s personal life.” “I want you to take into account that the so-called ‘Hwang Eui-jo killing’ is going on very maliciously, including not only the video but also the private conversations Hwang Ui-jo had with his acquaintances.”
Hwang Ui-jo, legal representative, said, “In the first place, this case started with Hwang Ui-jo as a victim of video leakage. Even now, this fact remains unchanged. Hwang Ui-jo feels deeply regretful and responsible for Hwang Ui-jo’s past lover, who was affected by the incident. I’m feeling heartbroken. The sea pledges to sincerely cooperate in the investigation of investigative agencies in the future. I will do my best to reveal the truth,” he said.
