Posing as Trainer and PD, Making Sexual Harassment Remarks to Women
Real Identity: Minor Forced Molestation Sex Offender
The identity of a man who claimed to be a broadcasting station PD and a dog trainer while repeatedly making sexually harassing remarks to women for years has been revealed.
On the episode of 'Curious Story Y' aired on the 2nd, they tracked down Mr. Kim, who claimed to be a famous animal program PD and an acquaintance of trainer Kang Hyung-wook.

Mr. Kim reportedly contacted job applicants who submitted applications on a pet care site and invited them for interviews, making absurd demands such as "Wear clothes a bit shorter and more feminine, about mid-thigh length?" and "Wearing something shorter than a long skirt might look better."
When the victim felt uncomfortable and declined the interview, he reportedly started cursing at her without any provocation.
He was not the only one to receive such unpleasant interview requests. Mr. Kim repeatedly contacted women who posted resumes on the pet care site, emphasizing short skirts and high heels as interview attire.
He told the women, "I am currently directing Program A and Program B at another broadcasting station," and "My original profession is a trainer, and I work at trainer Kang Hyung-wook's company."
Upon reviewing the production team list of the program, Mr. Kim's name was nowhere to be found. Trainer Kang Hyung-wook also stated, "I don't know him at all," and told the production team, "I've never met him, but I know there are quite a few people who claim to be my juniors, seniors, or that they learned from me."
The production team posted contact information on an animal-related site to meet Mr. Kim. He contacted them two days later. This time, he again claimed to be a famous PD and said he had filmed with Kang Hyung-wook.
When the production team revealed they were filming for Curious Story Y, he said, "I'm not that PD," and explained, "I'm considering directing and these days I'm thinking about becoming a trainer."
Regarding the interview attire, he said, "I just told them to come dressed comfortably," adding, "It wasn't intentional, and I had no other intentions. I even have a girlfriend now."
Mr. Kim is a sex offender who was sentenced to six years in prison in 2012 for forcibly molesting and raping a minor who was a fitting model. He admitted that he is currently wearing an electronic ankle bracelet and said, "I will never impersonate anyone again."
