According to Chosun Ilbo, the Suwon District Court (Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea) has sentenced defendant Yoo Young Jae to 2 years and 6 months in prison.
In addition to his prison sentence, Yoo Young Jae was also required to participate in a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and was banned from working at facilities related to children, adolescents and people with disabilities for 5 years.
Yoo Young Jae is a veteran MC in Korea. He was sued by his ex-wife, actress Sun Woo Eun Sook, and the actress's sister for sexual assault.
According to the complaint, from March to October 2023, Yoo Young Jae had committed at least 5 sexual assaults against Ms. A. - Sun Woo Eun Sook's sister.
Sun Woo Eun Sook accused his ex-husband of living as husband and wife with a female screenwriter right before marrying her. She thought that her ex-husband had intentionally deceived her because she knew this information through the press.
Sun Woo Eun Sook and MC Yoo Young Jae got married in 2022. They once caused a stir because their love affair lasted 8 days and then got married.
It was not until Sun Woo Eun Sook sued her ex-husband that the public learned about her marriage tragedy. At first, Sun Woo Eun Sook's sister did not want to report Yoo Young Jae because she was afraid it would affect her sister's second marriage.
After being sued, Yoo Young Jae committed suicide and had to be hospitalized for treatment. Initially, Yoo Young Jae denied the sexual assault, but the MC later appealed unsuccessfully.
Before marrying Yoo Young Jae, Sun Woo Eun Sook married actor Lee Young Ha in 1981 and had two sons. They divorced in 2007 after 26 years of marriage.
Sun Woo Eun Sook was born in 1959, and has appeared in many famous films such as "Autumn Heart", "Happy House", "Golden Hands", "Sweet Propose", "15-year-old Bride"...
In "Autumn Heart", she plays Lee Kyung Ha (main character Joon Suh's mother). Actor Sun Woo Eun Sook is famous for starring in this project with Song Hye Kyo.
