He did not admit he raped her. The judge concluded that there wasn't any evidence that he used force on her. If there was any evidence to show that then it would mean there was no consent. Also, he explain even from his statement that if his intention was to go to her house and rape her, that would have been risky move for him. If someone is a rapist, then they would choose a place that is secluded and where he would not get caught: “A celebrity is extremely careful when starting any sort of relationship with a civilian. Especially these days. Lee Jin Wook felt that A was trustworthy. While it was a short period of time, he thought they were connecting. That’s why he contacted her again. It was A’s house. What if she had domestic CCTV? Or if she had some cameras set up? If a woman says no, it’s impossible to push. Because he’s a public figure, he has no choice but to be more cautious. Because he knows it would be the end.”

I think I have answered that based in the comment above. If she did not consent, then she must have resisted using force. The evidence that would stand here is if there was signs of force or violence.

The judge meant verbally. There was no verbal consent. So that would mean she resisted if she did not consent for the sex. Hence, Lee Jin Wook must have used force or violence to overpower her. But the court could not prove any force was used against her.
Also, please note, those are not his actual statements. That is what the judge deduced after hearing his testimony.

Thank You for sharing those images. Now we have a starting point to debate.

I will share with you a break-down of what really happened: https://www.asianjunkie.com/2016/07/21/details-on-lee-jin-wooks-sexual-assault-case-leaked-and-his-side-comes-off-bad/

This link is especially good for non-koreans to understand the story. Make an opinion after reading that article. We can argue based on those facts. It also explains why the evidence stand or could not stand in the court.

Just read from here to have a full idea of story: https://www.asianjunkie.com/2016/07/21/details-on-lee-jin-wooks-sexual-assault-case-leaked-and-his-side-comes-off-bad/

Share links or articles to those photos and what not. Not getting consent qualifies as a rape. No in-between. So yeah you don't have to keep raising that argument again. There's no debate.

Okay, where did he admit? Maybe share a video, a recording or an article of his statement where he openly admits. If he admitted, he should be in jail now. No, in-between. Admitting is already evidence. So I don't know how you can be NOT GUILTY when you openly admitted.

Okay, where did he admit? A recording or an article saying that. I haven't read any saying he admitted. Matter of fact, I got one saying the opposite. Why are you so hell-bent in saying the accuser is a victim and Lee is a rapist? Okay, then share the details of the court document together with the articles and statements. Share that proof or evidence otherwise what you're spreading is some hearsay. Were you there? Man, I wish you never get accused for something you didn't do.
You got the order totally wrong. First, we establish he indeed is a rapist and then we condemn him. What you're saying is just based on what you think really is and have nothing to show for it.

My point exactly. Like how do you just take sides without really having your facts right? Being a rapist should not be condoned. Also, do not call someone that easily. It is not a simple crime. It is not a word you just throw around without being sure.

Naah, you seem not to get the point here. By saying innocent, I meant NOT GUILTY. That's just semantics. What evidence are you talking about his crimes? kindly share. Its good you know (understand) what evidence were presented before making an opinion. So your point basically is saying that the evidence against him could not proof that he was guilty.
Please, stop putting words negatively or in a way it doesn't favor one party. You don't say that the judge decided it was not violent or severe enough for him to be punished. What you should say is that there was no enough evidence against him.

As of right now, I haven't heard the truth from either you or the internet. Assuming he is actually innocent or NOT GUILTY, whichever you would put it. Would you not file a case for defamation? I mean making accusations to me, would it not ruin my life too? And in this case his career too. And where are you getting this? Where did he admit he had unconsented sex, please share a link or the article. None of the articles I read show that. Also, doesn't admitting to having sex without consent mean you're guilty? I mean right there is enough to get you charged or convicted. Yes, not consenting is definitely rape. I don't think anyone disagrees with that. So kindly share evidence or proof, whichever you would like showing that it was not consented sex.

My dear Gyuvinist, he was found innocent of those accusations. We've seen actors and successful personalities in Korea get sentenced for their crime. He wasn't sentenced. So I can't really argue about it being low. Though, I think it is indeed low and not just in Korea. In many parts of the world. Yeah, we hope that someday that changes too. Being rich is not an excuse for any crimes. Also, he worked hard for it even though I don't how rich we're talking about here. I am sure you're someone working hard and your end goal is to become a rich somebody someday. It wouldn't be good if I used the word rich against you if you worked for it, it wasn't passed down. Also, yes the alleged victim was sentenced to 8 months for defamation.
I kinda get both sides.
South Korea is a very harsh place for ex-convicts. If I accused you of something that you know or think isn't true, you will start defending yourself too. So him suing her for defamation doesn't sound quite unreasonable. I mean I would feel offended too if my reputation was on the line. Actually, Lee Jin Wook had to appeal the case because the 1st trial in which he was suing her did not go through. They argued that there was no proof of crime. However, when he appealed he won. The accuser was indicted of the false sexual assault claims charges without detention and was sentenced to 8 months in jail with 2 years of probation. The accuser was given a suspended sentence because her accusations were not intended for money or planned.

I now feel bad for Lee Jin Wook. Were you there? Or are you acquainted to either sides? Why are you spreading misinformation or alleged accusations? Nothing has been proven yet. Lee's sexual assault case was forwarded to the prosecution, and he was found not guilty after a twenty-day police investigation in August 2016. I now feel these people have an angle too. You want to blackmail someone for money or else you defame them. You trap them using whatever means you can think of.
Dear Sanoya, you must be a very sad person to spread these allegations. Rape is a very serious crime. You just don't call someone a rapist without really checking your facts. Man, I am very disappointed with Netizens. They're just so quick to judge. I think I get why people commit SUICIDE. If I was a celebrity and was accused of something I didn't do, it would really break me. I believe Lee Jin Wook is innocent as he has such a meek personality. That's from observing him in reality shows and interviews. Also, from how other actors describe him. They say as opposed to his exterior being he is actually a soft person on the inside.
But neither you or me really know him. I don't even know the alleged victim. As much as I am willing to defend him, I was not there. Neither were you. Fact of the matter is that we don't know who is lying or telling the truth. But its a fact he was found innocent 8 years ago.
WORDS CAN KILL. Please, be careful what you say about someone or something. Or do you know something that the prosecution or the judges don't? And kindly share it, ensure its legitimate and not just some hearsay.

Wait what? Based on my standards, she's the top of my list based on talented actresses. Most actress are mostly cute or pretty. The FL is cute too but I just rank her high based on talent. I must have missed something for you to say that.

Did you really read the novel? Or we each read a different novel. Your argument captures some key elements from "Snow White Must Die," but there are misunderstandings, particularly regarding the rape and the parents’ degree of involvement. The novel is a crime mystery, and while it features dark themes like betrayal, murder, and societal cover-ups, certain aspects of your description (like the girl's rape and her mother’s vindictiveness) are either not explicitly part of the plot or overstated. In the novel, the girl in question, Laura, goes missing and is presumed dead, but there is no direct rape scene depicted as part of the crime. The idea of rape being central to the boys’ actions is not accurate. They are more involved in Laura’s disappearance and presumed murder, which is the core mystery of the book.
There is indeed a disturbing event involving a girl and an oil tank in the story. However, the specifics of whether she was still alive, woke up, and begged for release may be more of a figurative or exaggerated interpretation of events rather than a literal representation in the book.

In the novel, the killer is his best friend. In here, the killer is actually the parent of the friend.

No, in the German novel the culprit is actually different. The only thing adapted from the novel is the foundation which the story is based. The characters and the setting is the same, but the story unfolds slightly different from the novel.

Me too. I first started watching Kdramas in 2006. My first Kdramas were Autumn in my heart, Winter Sonata and Full House. I can't count how many dramas that has been over the years. But one thing for sure Flower of Evil takes the top spot.

Till this day, I rank it as my most favorite show. The rank change with time for me but none has been able to take the top spot this show did. I remember when I first watched it and how invested and the suspense I felt. None comes close.

Me too 1,000 times more.

Four years later, and this is still a masterpiece to me. I haven't really met a show as good as this. It is at the top of my list. Someone who is watching it for the 1st time may have an idea of how the storyline unfolds through spoilers. But when I watched it had just premiered and we had no idea of what will happen next. The storyline and suspense was so intense that you could not skip a single episode. Is he a murderer? Is his family made of murderers? Why this? Why that? The show had an unique way to keep you locked without making you feel tired. No drag in the storyline. This is one show they got almost everything perfect. I still can't find any show that can challenge this on the top spot.
