On the 29th, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul announced that they summoned Yoo to the police station at around 6:30 PM the previous day and conducted a defendant investigation for about an hour and a half.
Earlier, on the 15th of last month, a complaint was filed with the police alleging that Yoo sexually assaulted the victim while he was sleeping in an officetel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
Yoo's legal representative, lawyer Bang Jeong-hyun, stated, "The allegations in the complaint are not true," and added, "We ask that unnecessary speculation related to private matters be refrained from."
Meanwhile, Yoo has been on trial for repeatedly administering medical propofol and other substances under the pretense of sedation for cosmetic procedures at hospitals around Seoul 181 times from September 2020 to March 2022. On the 24th, the prosecution demanded a four-year prison sentence for Yoo.
