He was acquitted of all charges and his accusers spent jail time for blackmail.
No man sued him for sexual assault. Simply because google translated as a male doesn't mean at thing.
The 2nd female accuser who came forward was sued for false accusations by Park Yoo Chun, who ALSO ended up in prison like the original 1st female & the other males. THE 2ND FEMALE was eventually acquitted of the charges, along with the Supreme Court indicating that her accusations "were not groundless", i.e. that there was a case to be made that Park Yoo Chun sexually assaulted her. When ALL Park Yoo Chun's appeals were REJECTED up to the South Korean Supreme Court that FINALLY ruled that HE COULD NOT APPEAL and her ACQUITTAL would remain and since the prosecutor was unable to get a conviction, SHE SUED HIM IN CIVIL COURT FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT. There is absolutely no man who sued Park Yoo Chun for sexual assault. It was the 2nd female period.
If you require the veracity of whether the 2nd women was indeed the person who SUED HIM for SEXUAL ASSAULT, then I'll provide someone else's translation that you can deem reputable but please don't accuse me of misrepresenting facts and lying.
All I can say is that to say that he was innocent is to say that because prosecutors didn't win their case he is innocent. A court found that he was financially liable for an illegal sexual assault, thus, not criminally guilty but civilly guilty. Either way he lost 2 out of 3 cases against the 2nd female and she won 2 of the 3 cases.
You can disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling in her case that said there were merits to her accusations and acquitted her, and the mediation court that agreed with that assessment. That's what I'm saying. I'm not passing judgement of what he did was bad or good or in between.
You can believe he paid his debt to society and, thus, deserves a second chance, and I, again, am NOT arguing anyone's right to feel this way.
What bothers me is that his fans continue to act like this SECOND CASE never happened or that since the prosecution were unable to prove their case against him that means he had no fault. Again, YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH THE RULINGS, but please DO NOT LIE that he was never found guilty of an illegal sexual assault in CIVIL COURT and required to pay his VICTIM $56 MILLION KRW for the offense.
That's it, end of discussion.
Now, watch or don't watch his dramas, because it doesn't really matter to me... Just maintain the proper FACTS about his case.
He was acquitted of all charges and his accusers spent jail time for blackmail.
Stop doubling down on this stupidity. [Edit: The link above you provide is regarding his on-going disregard of apologizing and not paying his debt to her. She took him to Debtors Court back in April, 2020, & after he met with the city’s mayor where the hearing was taking place, they ruled that he was “meeting his obligations” even though he failed to compensate her since he indicated he had no money to his name past paying rent, etc.. The information in this link is regarding her lawyer threatening to take him to CRIMINAL court in October, 2020 for non-payment of debt. Interestingly enough, Park Yoo Chun THEN decided to make arrangements to apologize and PAY her, and made a payment to her in December, 2020, and completing the payment with interest on January 31, 2021, with her lawyers finalizing the issue with him on February 3, 2021 and issuing a statement to the public on their clients behalf.]
The accuser was put in jail. While she was imprisoned her case went all the way up to the Supreme Court where she was acquitted of all charges not of slander but false accusations.
The accusations she made was that he sexually assaulted her. In the final ruling the SK Supreme Court stated that her case "HAD MERIT", meaning that, yes, in fact, it was highly likely that Yoo Chun sexually assaulted her. Park Yoo Chun was acquitted previously because prosecutors couldn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. They *equally* ruled there was enough evidence to prove that 1 of his accusers had a valid claim of sexual assault. With 2 acquittals canceling each other out, and paving the way for her to file a civil illegal action for “sexual assault”, the mediation court ruled IN HER FAVOR, based in large part to the Supreme Courts ruling that her case “was NOT groundless”. They ordered him to pay her $56 million KRW. Park Yoo Chun paid this sum of money, thus, acknowledging the wrongdoing of sexual assault.
Let me also point out that, if she slander him it was to say he sexually assaulted her. If she won the slander case, that means that, the fact she said he sexually assaulted her was verified. So, I'm not sure what you are trying to say by making this distinction. Either way, it's erroneous information.
Per the article that I linked above, I will note to you that the very FIRST sentence of the article states:
"...Singer and actor Park Yoo Chun implemented a ruling in compensation of 56 million won for Ms. A, who sued him for sexual assault..."
There is no wiggle room here. He paid in full at the end of January, 2021, thus, acknowledging his wrongdoing, PERIOD.
[Edit]Also, you seem to be purposefully trying to mix up the information. The woman he was ordered to pay filed her civil charges in December, 2018. He wasn’t in any drug-related situation, nor in a detention center at the time. “...The woman accused Park of sexually assaulting her in December of 2015, but claims that she waited to file her lawsuit because she wanted Park to apologize. Since she says he has not, she decided to file her lawsuit...” The following March, 2019, when Park Yoo Chun was not in detention, the courts accepted her case, and “...ordered Park Yoochun and “A” to settle the damages suit through a mandatory mediation...” The idea he didn’t know or couldn’t defend himself is ridiculous. If he didn’t respond, he had a legal reason, likely because he didn’t want to have to PROVE this case, and was willing to accept paying her off to get it over with. The insinuation that she’s a liar who only won because he couldn’t defend himself is slander against her and the facts of the case on your part.
As to the 2 week grace period situation, that not accurate either. Park Yoo Chun was released from the Detention Center on July 2, 2019. “The Mediation Center of Seoul Court decided on July 15 on a damage suit filed against the 32-year-old Park by one of the four, identified only as A, the officials said.” Further, “ The court's mandatory mediation was delivered to Park on Aug. 27 before taking effect last Wednesday after a two-week grace period, they said, noting the amount of court-recommended compensation is close to 100 million won (US$84,300).” In actuality, there was a 30-day “non-disclosure” ruling where victim A was not allowed to tell how much money she was awarded. It turned out the amount was $56 million KRW.
Additionally, there is the information the she took him back to Debtors Court in April, 2020 for not paying her....Per the news: “.. In the April 22 trial, the Uijeongbu District Court ruled that Park Yoochun would not be punished. When a detention judgment trial hands down a ruling of “non-punishment,” it usually means that the punishment is unfair or that the debtor proved that he was meeting his obligations by the date of the trial.
On April 23, it was reported that Park Yoochun had a face-to-face meeting with the Uijeongbu mayor, Ahn Byung Yong. A source from Uijeongbu City Hall told Xportsnews, “We are aware that Park Yoochun visited us this morning. It seems that it was not a very long meeting. We do not know why they met nor what they talked about. It seems as though it was not a planned meeting....”
Forward to February, 2021, and Park Yoo Chun has FINALLY paid the compensation the victim was entitled to based on court proceedings.
it's actually amazing how male actors get away with so much Park Yoo Chun -> toilet fetishLee Byung Hun -> Mr.…
Question 1: Was he or was he not ordered to pay compensation to 1 of the 4 women who accused him?
Question 2: Did he complete his final payment of financial compensation to the victim ordered by mediation court on Feb. 3, 2021?
Question 3: Did the SK Supreme Court rule that the victim's accusations had merit, thus, instigating the mediation court's ruling in her favor & ordering Park Yoo Chun to pay her $50m KRW?
I'll posit what her lawyer said with regards to his fans and Park Yoo Chun finally completing paying his debt to her, and her views on the whole process and him:
"...For the sexual assault damage that the prosecution did not prosecute..and victim A's case, all the jury members who watched directly found that victim A was not guilty, and all the courts of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd courts who looked at the verdict and investigation records also acknowledged the unfairness of victim A...
..It was fortunate that victim A was finally cleared of the defendant status, but the pain she suffered in the meantime was unspeakable. At the time, the prosecution made an unreasonable prosecution against victim A and requested an arrest warrant. She had to be locked up in a detention center for the first time in her life. After that, victim A was tried while imprisoned, and during this entire time the victim had to live as the accused, not the victim. From preparation to trial, courts were always full of people. In the courtroom filled with dozens of Park Yoo Chun fans, victim A had to feel a sense of anxiety and pressure different from the resentment and anxiety that led to her living as the accused, not the victim...those uneasy days resulted in secondary abuse with the victim's personal information that continues to be damaged and insulted online.. And even now, the victim is not free from such secondary damage...
For that reason, victim A filed a civil suit against Park Yoo Chun. The court did not have the opportunity to judge victim A's damage as a crime, but at least recognized it as a civil illegal act. And Park Yoo Chun also accepted this. Since that time, Mr. Park Yoo Chun was unable to repay due to various circumstances, but fortunately, both debt & interest were finally repaid on December 31, 2020 and January 31, 2021.
To inform those who are still continuing the second offense against victim A. It is true that Park Yoo Chun made a big mistake to victim A, but now he apologized and compensated for this..
++MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE STATEMENT BELOW++
"...Apologizing and reparations does not mean that Park Yoo Chun's fault or victim A's pain will not disappear. However, victim A, who overcomes the pain, is currently living as a culture artist and a sincere and healthy youth. What Victim A really wants is to get out of this case. There were a lot of people who volunteered for Park Yoo Chun's fans and committed the second offense, and some of them continue to do so even today. However, Park Yoo Chun admits and reflects on the wrongdoing and even compensated. So, if you're a true fan of him, I hope that you will look back on your mistakes in the past and stop yourselves from now on. The true fan spirit is not to distort the mistakes made by the stars, but to support them so that they can move forward without repeating those mistakes. At that time, even the victim will be able to completely escape from this incident and return to their full life." !!!
Please stop with the false information and respect the wishes of the victim. The victim is willing to move on and requests that you people do as well....but that doesn't mean FALSELY claiming he had no guilt and that she isn't innocent. That's not the facts laid out in court over these last 3 years. If you're willing to forgive him as having paid his debt to society, that's up to you. BUT, it's a completely different thing than claiming he has absolutely no guilt or fault, as recorded in court records. That just false.
I'd plead with you people to understand and have compassion to the victim who you continue to smear with these lies and find it in your heart to let it go and stop the cruelty she continues to endure.
He was acquitted of all charges and his accusers spent jail time for blackmail.
?? Source material? Park Yoo Chun didn't just have 1 accuser, he had 4.
Yoo Chun was ordered to pay 1 of his victims and he completed his final payment to her Feb. 3, 2021, which now allows him the ability to commence working again.
As to the victim he was ordered to pay, SK Supreme Court ruled that her accusations had merit regardless of whether or not the prosecutors had enough evidence to convict Yoo Chun or not.
Thank you! These are some much-needed reported information (there are probably more) that people should know before…
I'm not here to give an opinion or judge at all. I keep those personal thoughts to my Friends Feed & private conversations. All that matters to me is that people not provide false information. I also think that people not a party to this man or his drama should be left out of the discussion no matter how similar you think they are.
I think conveying the idea that Park Yoo Chun is innocent is false. It doesn't at all fit the facts of the story. The SK Supreme Court ruled that the 1 woman who accused him had merits in her accusations. Mediation court ordered Yoo Chun to pay her a sum of money as his victim. Park completed paying her the court ordered amount on Feb. 3, 2021, thus, resolving his legal obligation to her for his illegal conduct, period. That he has paid his fees, resolved his issues with his victims, & completed his probationary period due to his drug related charges, he is afforded the ability to come out of "retirement" and commence his work.
How you FEEL about it and whether you support that he paid his dues, or not and whether or not that will affect whether you watch anything he will be related to in the future is purely each individuals personal decisions, and, in that, there is no right or wrong, just a difference of opinion. But we should be making those decisions based in FACTS not fabrications of story.
Okay. There really is a lot of disinformation here. There are people who are claiming the situation for Park Shi Hoo was worse and that Park Yoo Chun was acquitted of assault charges and “the” woman who “accused” him went to jail. I think there are a LOT of people mixing up stories etc. here.
First off, I don’t know why you need to drag other people into this story but in the case of Park Shi Hoo, he sued his former agency’s CEO, his accuser, & her friend of blackmail. The accuser dropped the charges after he did this. He left his agency, end of story. One of our MDLers wrote a synposis of what went down at the early part so you can read that for the real time info to clear your minds: [ https://kisskh.at/article/2013/03/05/in-the-know-with-purplenette-updated ]
In Park Yoo Chun’s case, he was accused of sexually assaulting women in the bathroom of a gentlemen’s club. There were 4 women in total that accused him. It was said at the time that the police would acquit him of the charges, and I think that’s where most people dropped caring about it. In fact, on this matter, in 2016 the accusers claimed there were incidents dating back from 2014, as well as the 2016 incident, regarding the assaults. The court ordered him to pay $56m KRW or the equivalent of $50K USD to 1 of the assault victims.
[Edit: As to those saying the court has jailed or charged any of his victims with false statements, etc., if you read the article below from Yonhap News Agency it is noted that "...Park lodged a false accusation complaint against A but the Supreme Court acquitted her last year saying her claim was not groundless..." So, anyone making any other statement contradicting this is providing you FALSE information.]
Park Yoo Chun would not be able to return to entertainment until he paid her completely, which he made his final payments to her on Feb 3rd, 2021. He took a long time due to his issues with drugs and I assume his rich family did not want to cover for him or something like that. But this is part of the reason why he is able to resume. Which is totally different than Park Shi Hoo who never “retired” working like Yoo Chun did, he just went to China until public sentiment blew over.
In addition to this, Park Yoo Chun was accused of drug abuse during the Burning Sun scandal by his then girlfriend and she was the one who dragged Yoo Chun into the fray by making accusations towards his abuse. He was later ordered to submit to drug testing in which he failed. He was given probation and a fine
For me, on the drug charges, I think it was the best thing to ever happen to him. His meth addiction was classically horrible. I remember seeing pics of him at a animal shelter fundraising event caring for animals and he was in shorts. The sores etc on his legs were festering and, being an American who grew up in Long Beach, CA, I was well aware the classic indications of a meth addict trying to find a good vein to inject. Without help for his addiction, who knows where he’d be now. He was obviously not in a physically good state so these charges could very well have saved his life.
Maybe the pressure of being out of work and the assault cases got to him, but he had a severe problem and even now, with only a few years of sobriety, if he’s even been sober, I wonder his ability to handle the pressure of entertainment again so early.
I’m not passing judgment on either of these men. The courts are the ones to do that. I’m just giving you the facts so you can all be clear what you’re complaining about.
Thank you for this details! Really appreciate! But could you hide this as a spoiler? Thanks!!
Ummm. NO. I’m not gonna hide it as a *spoiler*. I haven’t even watched the movie, so how could THIS be a spoiler? I don’t know how much of the truth of what happened is told in this movie. The movie is based on a true story. THIS IS THE TRUE STORY. The movie itself may or may not represent *exactly* the irl story in this movie. The names of the main characters involved in the irl story are not even the same as the movie. I don’t have a clue since, again, I haven’t seen it. But since it’s BASED ON A TRUE STORY, this isn’t a spoiler because anyone watching this already should know this & should know what happened irl.
So, again, I appreciate the sentiment of not wanting your surprise or shock about what happens in the movie to be *spoilt* but what I wrote doesn’t have a thing to do with the movie. It’s the end result of what happened irl. So, thank you too.
Chang Po-sheng gets 4 1/2 years for 20 years worth of harm to dozens of children, and he's appealing it? It's confirmed he committed a total of 32 sexual assaults or incidences of sexual harassment, with a total of 31 victims identified. Plus, it's note he was involved in an additional nine cases where he issued inappropriate physical punishments to 29 students, in addition to other misconduct.
The 17 individuals still employed as educators, including a school principal and homeroom teachers, were aware of Chang's misconduct but failed to notify related authorities in a timely manner and have only been punished with reprimands and request to turn in any teaching awards + bonuses they received.
And the children? They will forever be emotionally and sexually scarred individual's for life, likely requiring some kind of therapy just to be able to have any trusting intimate relationships, especially with people of authority.
1. Cousin doctor is in a profession forced on him by his parents that he didn't want to be doing in the first…
Whelp, I never even went that direction.
"Why really?"
Because it kinda rubbed me wrong, in that, I was being questioned for my accuracy when I have already posted multiple times that I pulled the info from the drama's info data pages. Of course, since many don't care to translate Chinese, or the "digging so deep", I was a bit taken aback that my words weren't being trusted... but I provided the link so, everyone can have the confirmation that I'm not just pull information out of my ass.
32 year old, school health center doctor. His dad is a doctor & his mom is a dean. The two have forced him follow in their footsteps since childhood, whether he likes it or not. Pei Shouyi complied with his parents ideas and finished his medical degree, but after graduating, he rebelliously refused to enter the hospital as a doctor. Instead, he disobeyed his parents' expectations and got a job as a high school doctor.
Can someone explain why Ji Woo left in ep 7, I'm still confused was it because of the picture or his feelings?…
It was Ji Woo's friend and employer, Kim Hyung Ki, that was going to get Seo Joon in trouble. The reason Kim Hyung Ki was going to give up the pic to the Dispatch people was for money to cover his dad's debt and keep the restaurant afloat.
Firstly, Ji Woo left so that they wouldn't ever be caught together again, to further fuel the papz idea that he's in a relationship with Seo Joon. He didn't want to be thrown in with this kind of rumor/publicity.
He also asked Kim Pil Hyun to give him his deposit key money on the apartment.
Secondly, the next morning Ji Woo goes to Kim Hyung Ki's house to see that it's been locked off by the debt collectors. So, he calls him to come out. He offers to initially pay him $20k, likely the key money from the apartment, to cover and pay for any of Kim Hyung Ki's emergency debts. Ji Wo did that to protect Seo Joon from be extorted money by his friend and to help his friend out so he doesn't do anything rash.
Lastly, Ji Woo didn't want Seo Joon to find out about the situation at all. Unfortunately, the Dispatch girl already told him that Ji Woo's friend had pictures of him and Ji Woo together.
My guess it's amnesia. No one in the room knew who his bf was to him. He didn't know who the bf was. Sucks lazy…
Except Zhen-Shou CP will be a main part of S2. Shou is Shide's cousin, and Zhen is working at the same company as Shide and the recent IG uploads to Result Entertainment suggest a "lack of maturity" changing from the Era of University to professional life.

I love these little clues Results is posting: "What will happen in five years? Make yourself stronger and more mature, Will find the courage to fight for love, Then never miss it again!
just finished binge watching season 1 and whatttt the fxckkkkkkk is that omgthe only possibly theory that i cud…
His cousin's love story with Yu Zhen Xuan will be a significant part of S2. Also, Yu Zhen Xuan is working with Shide at the same company, Hua Cing Technology. That means Shide is in touch with his cousin who was a prime player in bringing Shide & Shuyi together. The idea that he wouldn't discuss Shuyi with Shide is ridiculous. There is no amnesia. lol.
More IG posts from Results Entertainment that makes me feel like Shide's cousin is going to have a far more main role in this season:
"...Fate, so people meet in the sea. No luck, so the people who rub shoulders leave regret!
It is a kind of happiness for people in love to be together; but there are always people who have been waiting, not 5 years and 10 years, but longer 12 years...
That year, I passed by without even a glimpse. What only existed was the brief memories of the health room when I graduated from high school.
❤️The story of #Shou-Zhen will officially unfold in the second season....."
Also, from the pic stills it looks like Yu Zhen Xuan works with Shide.
Please remember that Shide & Shuyi have NOT been friends whatsoever between 5th grade & 12th grade. Shuyi hates Shide, period. He hates losing to him, and doesn't want to be around him. He specifically planned to go to a college Shide wouldn't be at to avoid him. They are not "together" friends, or otherwise. Shide has to watch him from afar.
Shide's sole purpose in college was to at least become friends with Shuyi once in his life, and live off of those memories after he leaves to the USA. Shide never expected for anything to really happen to them. Thus, being together, from Shide's perspective, is from that moment in the pool forward. Also, although I believe that Shide is saying that he hasn't had contact with Shuyi in 5 years, I really don't know for sure either. What Shide said wasn't a full sentence or thought, it was half a concept. What the other half of “After we’ve been separated for 76,692 hours….”would be actually would be a guess on anyone's part except maybe Results Entertainment employees. lol.
Also, as has been stated, we truly don't have a clue what's happened since they both graduated from college. Everything, and I mean everything is an assumption or guess on our parts as to what's transpired between them other than 2 things, they aren't together anymore, and S2 starts exactly 5 years after they both graduated from college.
1. Cousin doctor is in a profession forced on him by his parents that he didn't want to be doing in the first…
The 1S was mainly about Gao Shi De & Zhou Shu Yi.
The 2S will be about 3 couples; Gao Shi De-Zhou Shu Yi still as main OTP; Pei Shou Yi-Yu Zhen Xuan, & Bing Wei-Shi Zhe Yu. It's essentially shown in the difference between the primary posters for either season. S2, doesn't just have the OTP on the cover. As well, the posted bts pics from S2 are essentially all of Pei Shou Yi & Yu Zhen Xuan, suggesting that they will be the focus a bit more in S2. Of course, I or anyone else except those involved with Result Entertainment are the only ones who really know what the percentage are for each couple, but since the story is about our OTP, I believe they'd still be the main focus.
Considering how much speculative hype is going on and will likely continue until March 5th, maybe Result Entertainment played it this way to keep our interest and excitement up on.. "Oh My, what happened & what will happen??..." If they released stills for S2, a lot of the "surprise" would be essentially lost. But, again, I have no clue because I'm not an employee of Result Entertainment. lol.
What is written at start of final segment: 1) "Earth has rotated 1826 times around its axis." *1 rotation = 24…
I think you're confused. I never suggested that they've been in contact over the 5 years. It's clear from the text & what Shide says that they haven't had contact with each other in 5 years.
The data for S2 drama states: "...The story takes place five years after Zhou Shu Yi and Gao Shi De graduated from college, focusing on their life as they juggle work responsibilities and personal life at the same time..." ~This is from Result Entertainment's production notes itself. So, clearly, whether they've been in contact or not, it's been 5 years from the date they graduated, which was when Shide left for the USA.
What I'm saying is, we don't know what the reason for the separation was for, 5 years ago. We have no idea what split them up. We have no idea whether Shide returned after 5 years away from Taiwan, or if he came back after a few months. We have no idea if Shide ghosted Shuyi or the other way around. We have no idea whether Shuyi returned to Japan with his father. WE JUST DON'T KNOW. lol....
Why Shuyi slapped Shide is as good as any guess, but based on everything anyone knows, the only thing for certain is that it's been 5 years since they've been in contact.
As for the doctor... I've been clear about it from the beginning. It's written in Mandarin in the Chinese wikipedia page for the drama:
"....32 years old, health center school doctor. His father is a doctor and his mother is the dean. The two have forced him to inherit the mantle since childhood, no matter what he likes. Pei Shouyi followed his parents' ideas to complete a medical degree, but after graduating with a clinical certificate, he rebelliously refused to enter the hospital as a doctor. Instead, he disobeyed his parents' expectations and took up the job as a high school doctor..."

If you require the veracity of whether the 2nd women was indeed the person who SUED HIM for SEXUAL ASSAULT, then I'll provide someone else's translation that you can deem reputable but please don't accuse me of misrepresenting facts and lying.
PLEASE READ, AND NOTICE THE HEADLINE.

Again I will note her statement...
All I can say is that to say that he was innocent is to say that because prosecutors didn't win their case he is innocent. A court found that he was financially liable for an illegal sexual assault, thus, not criminally guilty but civilly guilty. Either way he lost 2 out of 3 cases against the 2nd female and she won 2 of the 3 cases.
You can disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling in her case that said there were merits to her accusations and acquitted her, and the mediation court that agreed with that assessment. That's what I'm saying. I'm not passing judgement of what he did was bad or good or in between.
You can believe he paid his debt to society and, thus, deserves a second chance, and I, again, am NOT arguing anyone's right to feel this way.
What bothers me is that his fans continue to act like this SECOND CASE never happened or that since the prosecution were unable to prove their case against him that means he had no fault. Again, YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH THE RULINGS, but please DO NOT LIE that he was never found guilty of an illegal sexual assault in CIVIL COURT and required to pay his VICTIM $56 MILLION KRW for the offense.
That's it, end of discussion.
Now, watch or don't watch his dramas, because it doesn't really matter to me... Just maintain the proper FACTS about his case.
[Edit: The link above you provide is regarding his on-going disregard of apologizing and not paying his debt to her. She took him to Debtors Court back in April, 2020, & after he met with the city’s mayor where the hearing was taking place, they ruled that he was “meeting his obligations” even though he failed to compensate her since he indicated he had no money to his name past paying rent, etc.. The information in this link is regarding her lawyer threatening to take him to CRIMINAL court in October, 2020 for non-payment of debt. Interestingly enough, Park Yoo Chun THEN decided to make arrangements to apologize and PAY her, and made a payment to her in December, 2020, and completing the payment with interest on January 31, 2021, with her lawyers finalizing the issue with him on February 3, 2021 and issuing a statement to the public on their clients behalf.]

The accuser was put in jail. While she was imprisoned her case went all the way up to the Supreme Court where she was acquitted of all charges not of slander but false accusations.
The accusations she made was that he sexually assaulted her. In the final ruling the SK Supreme Court stated that her case "HAD MERIT", meaning that, yes, in fact, it was highly likely that Yoo Chun sexually assaulted her. Park Yoo Chun was acquitted previously because prosecutors couldn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. They *equally* ruled there was enough evidence to prove that 1 of his accusers had a valid claim of sexual assault. With 2 acquittals canceling each other out, and paving the way for her to file a civil illegal action for “sexual assault”, the mediation court ruled IN HER FAVOR, based in large part to the Supreme Courts ruling that her case “was NOT groundless”. They ordered him to pay her $56 million KRW. Park Yoo Chun paid this sum of money, thus, acknowledging the wrongdoing of sexual assault.
Let me also point out that, if she slander him it was to say he sexually assaulted her. If she won the slander case, that means that, the fact she said he sexually assaulted her was verified. So, I'm not sure what you are trying to say by making this distinction. Either way, it's erroneous information.
Per the article that I linked above, I will note to you that the very FIRST sentence of the article states:
"...Singer and actor Park Yoo Chun implemented a ruling in compensation of 56 million won for Ms. A, who sued him for sexual assault..."
There is no wiggle room here. He paid in full at the end of January, 2021, thus, acknowledging his wrongdoing, PERIOD.
[Edit]Also, you seem to be purposefully trying to mix up the information. The woman he was ordered to pay filed her civil charges in December, 2018. He wasn’t in any drug-related situation, nor in a detention center at the time. “...The woman accused Park of sexually assaulting her in December of 2015, but claims that she waited to file her lawsuit because she wanted Park to apologize. Since she says he has not, she decided to file her lawsuit...” The following March, 2019, when Park Yoo Chun was not in detention, the courts accepted her case, and “...ordered Park Yoochun and “A” to settle the damages suit through a mandatory mediation...” The idea he didn’t know or couldn’t defend himself is ridiculous. If he didn’t respond, he had a legal reason, likely because he didn’t want to have to PROVE this case, and was willing to accept paying her off to get it over with. The insinuation that she’s a liar who only won because he couldn’t defend himself is slander against her and the facts of the case on your part.
As to the 2 week grace period situation, that not accurate either. Park Yoo Chun was released from the Detention Center on July 2, 2019. “The Mediation Center of Seoul Court decided on July 15 on a damage suit filed against the 32-year-old Park by one of the four, identified only as A, the officials said.” Further, “ The court's mandatory mediation was delivered to Park on Aug. 27 before taking effect last Wednesday after a two-week grace period, they said, noting the amount of court-recommended compensation is close to 100 million won (US$84,300).” In actuality, there was a 30-day “non-disclosure” ruling where victim A was not allowed to tell how much money she was awarded. It turned out the amount was $56 million KRW.
Additionally, there is the information the she took him back to Debtors Court in April, 2020 for not paying her....Per the news:
“.. In the April 22 trial, the Uijeongbu District Court ruled that Park Yoochun would not be punished. When a detention judgment trial hands down a ruling of “non-punishment,” it usually means that the punishment is unfair or that the debtor proved that he was meeting his obligations by the date of the trial.
On April 23, it was reported that Park Yoochun had a face-to-face meeting with the Uijeongbu mayor, Ahn Byung Yong. A source from Uijeongbu City Hall told Xportsnews, “We are aware that Park Yoochun visited us this morning. It seems that it was not a very long meeting. We do not know why they met nor what they talked about. It seems as though it was not a planned meeting....”
Forward to February, 2021, and Park Yoo Chun has FINALLY paid the compensation the victim was entitled to based on court proceedings.
Question 2: Did he complete his final payment of financial compensation to the victim ordered by mediation court on Feb. 3, 2021?
Question 3: Did the SK Supreme Court rule that the victim's accusations had merit, thus, instigating the mediation court's ruling in her favor & ordering Park Yoo Chun to pay her $50m KRW?
I'll posit what her lawyer said with regards to his fans and Park Yoo Chun finally completing paying his debt to her, and her views on the whole process and him:
"...For the sexual assault damage that the prosecution did not prosecute..and victim A's case, all the jury members who watched directly found that victim A was not guilty, and all the courts of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd courts who looked at the verdict and investigation records also acknowledged the unfairness of victim A...
..It was fortunate that victim A was finally cleared of the defendant status, but the pain she suffered in the meantime was unspeakable. At the time, the prosecution made an unreasonable prosecution against victim A and requested an arrest warrant. She had to be locked up in a detention center for the first time in her life. After that, victim A was tried while imprisoned, and during this entire time the victim had to live as the accused, not the victim. From preparation to trial, courts were always full of people. In the courtroom filled with dozens of Park Yoo Chun fans, victim A had to feel a sense of anxiety and pressure different from the resentment and anxiety that led to her living as the accused, not the victim...those uneasy days resulted in secondary abuse with the victim's personal information that continues to be damaged and insulted online.. And even now, the victim is not free from such secondary damage...
For that reason, victim A filed a civil suit against Park Yoo Chun. The court did not have the opportunity to judge victim A's damage as a crime, but at least recognized it as a civil illegal act. And Park Yoo Chun also accepted this. Since that time, Mr. Park Yoo Chun was unable to repay due to various circumstances, but fortunately, both debt & interest were finally repaid on December 31, 2020 and January 31, 2021.
To inform those who are still continuing the second offense against victim A. It is true that Park Yoo Chun made a big mistake to victim A, but now he apologized and compensated for this..
++MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE STATEMENT BELOW++
"...Apologizing and reparations does not mean that Park Yoo Chun's fault or victim A's pain will not disappear. However, victim A, who overcomes the pain, is currently living as a culture artist and a sincere and healthy youth. What Victim A really wants is to get out of this case. There were a lot of people who volunteered for Park Yoo Chun's fans and committed the second offense, and some of them continue to do so even today. However, Park Yoo Chun admits and reflects on the wrongdoing and even compensated. So, if you're a true fan of him, I hope that you will look back on your mistakes in the past and stop yourselves from now on. The true fan spirit is not to distort the mistakes made by the stars, but to support them so that they can move forward without repeating those mistakes. At that time, even the victim will be able to completely escape from this incident and return to their full life."
!!!
Please stop with the false information and respect the wishes of the victim. The victim is willing to move on and requests that you people do as well....but that doesn't mean FALSELY claiming he had no guilt and that she isn't innocent. That's not the facts laid out in court over these last 3 years. If you're willing to forgive him as having paid his debt to society, that's up to you. BUT, it's a completely different thing than claiming he has absolutely no guilt or fault, as recorded in court records. That just false.
I'd plead with you people to understand and have compassion to the victim who you continue to smear with these lies and find it in your heart to let it go and stop the cruelty she continues to endure.

Yoo Chun was ordered to pay 1 of his victims and he completed his final payment to her Feb. 3, 2021, which now allows him the ability to commence working again.
As to the victim he was ordered to pay, SK Supreme Court ruled that her accusations had merit regardless of whether or not the prosecutors had enough evidence to convict Yoo Chun or not.
https://entertain.naver.com/now/read?oid=408&aid=0000114091
Let's not spread false information, please.
I think conveying the idea that Park Yoo Chun is innocent is false. It doesn't at all fit the facts of the story. The SK Supreme Court ruled that the 1 woman who accused him had merits in her accusations. Mediation court ordered Yoo Chun to pay her a sum of money as his victim. Park completed paying her the court ordered amount on Feb. 3, 2021, thus, resolving his legal obligation to her for his illegal conduct, period. That he has paid his fees, resolved his issues with his victims, & completed his probationary period due to his drug related charges, he is afforded the ability to come out of "retirement" and commence his work.
How you FEEL about it and whether you support that he paid his dues, or not and whether or not that will affect whether you watch anything he will be related to in the future is purely each individuals personal decisions, and, in that, there is no right or wrong, just a difference of opinion. But we should be making those decisions based in FACTS not fabrications of story.
First off, I don’t know why you need to drag other people into this story but in the case of Park Shi Hoo, he sued his former agency’s CEO, his accuser, & her friend of blackmail. The accuser dropped the charges after he did this. He left his agency, end of story. One of our MDLers wrote a synposis of what went down at the early part so you can read that for the real time info to clear your minds:
[ https://kisskh.at/article/2013/03/05/in-the-know-with-purplenette-updated ]
In Park Yoo Chun’s case, he was accused of sexually assaulting women in the bathroom of a gentlemen’s club. There were 4 women in total that accused him. It was said at the time that the police would acquit him of the charges, and I think that’s where most people dropped caring about it. In fact, on this matter, in 2016 the accusers claimed there were incidents dating back from 2014, as well as the 2016 incident, regarding the assaults. The court ordered him to pay $56m KRW or the equivalent of $50K USD to 1 of the assault victims.
[Edit: As to those saying the court has jailed or charged any of his victims with false statements, etc., if you read the article below from Yonhap News Agency it is noted that "...Park lodged a false accusation complaint against A but the Supreme Court acquitted her last year saying her claim was not groundless..." So, anyone making any other statement contradicting this is providing you FALSE information.]

Park Yoo Chun would not be able to return to entertainment until he paid her completely, which he made his final payments to her on Feb 3rd, 2021. He took a long time due to his issues with drugs and I assume his rich family did not want to cover for him or something like that. But this is part of the reason why he is able to resume. Which is totally different than Park Shi Hoo who never “retired” working like Yoo Chun did, he just went to China until public sentiment blew over.
In addition to this, Park Yoo Chun was accused of drug abuse during the Burning Sun scandal by his then girlfriend and she was the one who dragged Yoo Chun into the fray by making accusations towards his abuse. He was later ordered to submit to drug testing in which he failed. He was given probation and a fine
For me, on the drug charges, I think it was the best thing to ever happen to him. His meth addiction was classically horrible. I remember seeing pics of him at a animal shelter fundraising event caring for animals and he was in shorts. The sores etc on his legs were festering and, being an American who grew up in Long Beach, CA, I was well aware the classic indications of a meth addict trying to find a good vein to inject. Without help for his addiction, who knows where he’d be now. He was obviously not in a physically good state so these charges could very well have saved his life.
Maybe the pressure of being out of work and the assault cases got to him, but he had a severe problem and even now, with only a few years of sobriety, if he’s even been sober, I wonder his ability to handle the pressure of entertainment again so early.
I’m not passing judgment on either of these men. The courts are the ones to do that. I’m just giving you the facts so you can all be clear what you’re complaining about.
So, again, I appreciate the sentiment of not wanting your surprise or shock about what happens in the movie to be *spoilt* but what I wrote doesn’t have a thing to do with the movie. It’s the end result of what happened irl. So, thank you too.
The 17 individuals still employed as educators, including a school principal and homeroom teachers, were aware of Chang's misconduct but failed to notify related authorities in a timely manner and have only been punished with reprimands and request to turn in any teaching awards + bonuses they received.
And the children? They will forever be emotionally and sexually scarred individual's for life, likely requiring some kind of therapy just to be able to have any trusting intimate relationships, especially with people of authority.
The world is so backwards, it's incredible.
"Why really?"
Because it kinda rubbed me wrong, in that, I was being questioned for my accuracy when I have already posted multiple times that I pulled the info from the drama's info data pages. Of course, since many don't care to translate Chinese, or the "digging so deep", I was a bit taken aback that my words weren't being trusted... but I provided the link so, everyone can have the confirmation that I'm not just pull information out of my ass.

Scroll to 裴守一 [Pei Shou Yi]
Then read the Character introduction [介紹] that is written which is:
32歲，健康中心校醫。
父親是醫生、母親是院長，兩人從小就逼他繼承衣缽，不管他喜歡什麼。裴守一遵從父母的想法完成醫學院學歷，卻在畢業臨床取得證書後，叛逆的不肯進醫院當醫生，反而忤逆著父母的期望接下高中校醫的工作。
Which translates into English:
32 year old, school health center doctor.
His dad is a doctor & his mom is a dean. The two have forced him follow in their footsteps since childhood, whether he likes it or not. Pei Shouyi complied with his parents ideas and finished his medical degree, but after graduating, he rebelliously refused to enter the hospital as a doctor. Instead, he disobeyed his parents' expectations and got a job as a high school doctor.
Firstly, Ji Woo left so that they wouldn't ever be caught together again, to further fuel the papz idea that he's in a relationship with Seo Joon. He didn't want to be thrown in with this kind of rumor/publicity.
He also asked Kim Pil Hyun to give him his deposit key money on the apartment.
Secondly, the next morning Ji Woo goes to Kim Hyung Ki's house to see that it's been locked off by the debt collectors. So, he calls him to come out. He offers to initially pay him $20k, likely the key money from the apartment, to cover and pay for any of Kim Hyung Ki's emergency debts. Ji Wo did that to protect Seo Joon from be extorted money by his friend and to help his friend out so he doesn't do anything rash.
Lastly, Ji Woo didn't want Seo Joon to find out about the situation at all. Unfortunately, the Dispatch girl already told him that Ji Woo's friend had pictures of him and Ji Woo together.
At the top of youth,
The effort left a mark of no regrets.
But we never know,
After being together,
Could it be for any reason,
Caused some kind of regret.....
While the sun is shining, embrace the one you love!"
"What will happen in five years?
Make yourself stronger and more mature,
Will find the courage to fight for love,
Then never miss it again!
"...Fate, so people meet in the sea.
No luck, so the people who rub shoulders leave regret!
It is a kind of happiness for people in love to be together; but there are always people who have been waiting, not 5 years and 10 years, but longer 12 years...
That year, I passed by without even a glimpse. What only existed was the brief memories of the health room when I graduated from high school.
❤️The story of #Shou-Zhen will officially unfold in the second season....."
Also, from the pic stills it looks like Yu Zhen Xuan works with Shide.
Please remember that Shide & Shuyi have NOT been friends whatsoever between 5th grade & 12th grade. Shuyi hates Shide, period. He hates losing to him, and doesn't want to be around him. He specifically planned to go to a college Shide wouldn't be at to avoid him. They are not "together" friends, or otherwise. Shide has to watch him from afar.
Shide's sole purpose in college was to at least become friends with Shuyi once in his life, and live off of those memories after he leaves to the USA. Shide never expected for anything to really happen to them. Thus, being together, from Shide's perspective, is from that moment in the pool forward. Also, although I believe that Shide is saying that he hasn't had contact with Shuyi in 5 years, I really don't know for sure either. What Shide said wasn't a full sentence or thought, it was half a concept. What the other half of “After we’ve been separated for 76,692 hours….”would be actually would be a guess on anyone's part except maybe Results Entertainment employees. lol.
Also, as has been stated, we truly don't have a clue what's happened since they both graduated from college. Everything, and I mean everything is an assumption or guess on our parts as to what's transpired between them other than 2 things, they aren't together anymore, and S2 starts exactly 5 years after they both graduated from college.
The 2S will be about 3 couples; Gao Shi De-Zhou Shu Yi still as main OTP; Pei Shou Yi-Yu Zhen Xuan, & Bing Wei-Shi Zhe Yu. It's essentially shown in the difference between the primary posters for either season. S2, doesn't just have the OTP on the cover. As well, the posted bts pics from S2 are essentially all of Pei Shou Yi & Yu Zhen Xuan, suggesting that they will be the focus a bit more in S2. Of course, I or anyone else except those involved with Result Entertainment are the only ones who really know what the percentage are for each couple, but since the story is about our OTP, I believe they'd still be the main focus.
Considering how much speculative hype is going on and will likely continue until March 5th, maybe Result Entertainment played it this way to keep our interest and excitement up on.. "Oh My, what happened & what will happen??..." If they released stills for S2, a lot of the "surprise" would be essentially lost. But, again, I have no clue because I'm not an employee of Result Entertainment. lol.
The data for S2 drama states:
"...The story takes place five years after Zhou Shu Yi and Gao Shi De graduated from college, focusing on their life as they juggle work responsibilities and personal life at the same time..." ~This is from Result Entertainment's production notes itself. So, clearly, whether they've been in contact or not, it's been 5 years from the date they graduated, which was when Shide left for the USA.
What I'm saying is, we don't know what the reason for the separation was for, 5 years ago. We have no idea what split them up. We have no idea whether Shide returned after 5 years away from Taiwan, or if he came back after a few months. We have no idea if Shide ghosted Shuyi or the other way around. We have no idea whether Shuyi returned to Japan with his father. WE JUST DON'T KNOW. lol....
Why Shuyi slapped Shide is as good as any guess, but based on everything anyone knows, the only thing for certain is that it's been 5 years since they've been in contact.
As for the doctor... I've been clear about it from the beginning. It's written in Mandarin in the Chinese wikipedia page for the drama:
"....32 years old, health center school doctor.
His father is a doctor and his mother is the dean. The two have forced him to inherit the mantle since childhood, no matter what he likes. Pei Shouyi followed his parents' ideas to complete a medical degree, but after graduating with a clinical certificate, he rebelliously refused to enter the hospital as a doctor. Instead, he disobeyed his parents' expectations and took up the job as a high school doctor..."
