The accuser said he ‘suggested a way for Song to resolve the matter with dignity, but it was not accepted’
A man who accused actress Song Ha-yoon, 38, of school bullying two decades ago has returned to South Korea and announced plans to file a 10 billion won (US$7.1 million) damages lawsuit.
The accuser, identified only by the surname Oh, wrote on an online community on Monday: “I never intended this to turn into an expose or a dispute. I suggested a way for Song to resolve the matter with dignity, but it was not accepted. Now I will cooperate with investigators and file a complaint.”
Oh added that he had covered his own travel costs to South Korea, including airfare, lodging and transport, and would later seek reimbursement through legal channels.
“I am preparing a damages claim of 10 billion won, covering mental suffering, international defamation, harm from false criminal procedures, loss of social livelihood and denial of rebuttal rights,” he said.
