The victim of illegal filming of Hwang Ui-jo (31, Norwich City), a striker of the Korean national soccer team, said he did not agree to take the video and continued to demand deletion. It refuted Hwang Ui-jo's earlier claim that "it was an agreed-upon video between the lovers at the time."
Lee Eun-ui, the victim's legal representative, said in a statement released on the 21st, "The victim did not agree to Hwang Ui-jo's original filming, and if he knew these things, he expressed his disapproval and demanded that it be erased immediately after filming." It was not even a situation that Hwang Ui-jo thought arbitrarily that he had received consent. In addition, there were cases where I did not know if there was a shooting while being investigated for this incident, he said.
In addition, Lee Eun-e's lawyer said, "Since then, there have been continuous requests for the victim to express his refusal and delete it, but they ignored it and illegal filming was repeated. In such a situation, all the victim could do was keep asking Hwang Ui-jo to delete the footage. The victim was angry and anxious, but I couldn't help but worry that Hwang Ui-jo had such illegal filming materials and leaked them," he explained.
"Hwang Eui-jo's side issued a statement that the video was filmed by agreement between the lovers at the time and that it was not responsible for the distribution. However, it is true that the victim had been involved with Hwang Ui-jo for a while, but he did not agree to shoot other sensitive videos at that time or after, and he asked for it to be deleted.
Hwang Ui-jo's side said in a legal representative, Daehwan, on the previous day (20th), "The video shows a woman who dated Hwang Ui-jo in the past, but what was clear was the agreed video between the lovers at the time. Hwang Ui-jo said, "I don't currently own the video, and I've never leaked it."
According to News 1, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency believes Hwang Ui-jo is suspected of illegally filming and is conducting an investigation by converting him into a suspect.
On June 25, controversy arose as articles and videos were uploaded around SNS revealing Hwang Ui-jo's personal life. The publisher introduced himself as a "woman who met Hwang Ui-jo." Hwang Ui-jo's agent UJ Sports immediately issued a statement and said, "All current uploads on SNS are not true." Hwang Ui-jo's side sued the publisher of the privacy disclosure on charges of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act and intimidation and coercion of use such as filming under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.
However, in the process of analyzing the distributed Hwang Ui-jo video, the police determined that there was an illegal filming situation and converted him into a suspect. Hwang Ui-jo is said to have denied allegations of illegal filming in a police investigation.
Hwang Ui-jo's legal representative, Daehwan, said, "The video was contained in Hwang Ui-jo's personal cell phone, which was lost (presumed to be stolen) in Greece in November 2022. It is about Hwang Ui-jo's personal life, and I hope you take into account that Hwang Ui-jo's personal conversations with acquaintances are being used for intimidation."
Dae-hwan then said, "In the beginning, this case started with Hwang Ui-jo as a victim of video leakage," and added, "This fact remains unchanged even now. Hwang Ui-jo feels deeply regretful and responsible for Hwang Ui-jo's past lover, who was affected by the incident. I'm feeling heartbroken. The sea pledges to sincerely cooperate in the investigation of investigative agencies in the future. I will do my best to reveal the truth," he promised. 스포츠토토
On the other hand, lawyer Lee Eun-ui, the victim's legal representative, said, "The victim could not even express his position that Hwang Ui-jo had suffered illegal filming damage. However, the victim is a crime victim who suffered from illegal filming and has never sympathized with illegal filming, so there is no reason to reverse this stigma. "We have come to the conclusion that Hwang Ui-jo's criminal behavior cannot be overlooked as he is because victims like him are silent because the video has not been circulated, but know better than anyone else how anxious they will be."
He said, "It is still an unstable and difficult situation, but now I express my position through a legal representative with a desperate desire to correct my mistakes and eradicate further damage. In addition, I hope that Hwang Ui-jo will repent of his mistakes and admit the fact even now. "I would like to say that it would be only a belated apology to the victim," he said.
