Lee Hyun-joo, director of rape case

Lee Hyun Joo, director of film. It has been confirmed that Lee Hyun-joo has been involved in an organized concealment attempt within the Korean Film Academy (KAFA) . 

Most of what the victim claimed through Social Network Service (SNS) last month was revealed as fact. Lee Hyun-joo, who was convicted of raping similar rape cases in the Supreme Court last year, declared his retirement after the victim's exposure was known. 

According to the film promotion committee on the 20th, the investigation committee of the investigation committee investigated the victim's allegations, and it was confirmed that the responsible professor A, who first recognized the incident, tried to conceal the incident without taking the victim protection measures. 

A, A, said that the victim had been asked to withdraw from the court several times and made an inappropriate remarks. Mr. A attended the witness' s testimony when the trial began, and testified that he could be used against the victim. 

Academy Director B, who was aware of the rape case and the complaint, did not notify the senior agency, Young Jin, and stayed without protecting the victim. The director's graduation work was supported and promoted at the academy level, and the victim's suffering increased. The director was awarded the Blue Moon Film Prize for Best New Director for the film "Loneliness" last year when the trial was under way.

Administrative staff also had a long-term concealment as a result of the fact that the reporting system did not work at all since the supervisor had written a fact sheet for the trial and then did not report it. In addition to the fact that the Young Jin administration did not receive the case, it also explained that the concerned people did not know that they had been sentenced because they did not pay attention to the trial proceedings. 

The Youngjin branch decided to notify the audit team of the results of the investigation and proceed with the disciplinary procedure to refer the concerned persons to the personnel committee. 

He said, "Chairman Oh Seok-geun informed the victims of the results of the investigation and apologized to them directly. They said they would build countermeasures to prevent the recurrence." We will check the internal operation system of the academy and look for a fundamental improvement plan. "
