Kim Ki-duk faces new accusations of rape
    2018-03-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

NEW accusations of rape and predatory sexual behavior have been made against South Korean film director Kim Ki-duk.

Three actresses made the new accusations on investigative news show “PD’s Notebook,” which was broadcast on South Korean public broadcaster MBC this week. All three made their claims anonymously.

Following the allegations, local distributor N.E.W. said it had indefinitely postponed the theatrical release of Kim’s latest movie “Human, Space, Time and Human.” The film played last month in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival.

One of the three women who spoke to “PD’s Notebook” was the same actress who previously accused Kim of sexual assault, alleging that he slapped her on the first day of filming “Moebius” in 2014. Kim maintains that he was instructing the actress on her role.

A court hearing in December dismissed the sex assault charge, but ordered Kim to pay a US$4,700 fine. The actress subsequently led a social media campaign against the Berlinale, which she accused them of hypocrisy for supporting the #MeToo movement while inviting Kim and “Human.”

On the MBC show, the actress said that during pre-production, Kim constantly pestered her for sex and locked her in her room with another actress. She refused his advances and said her refusal led to her being fired from the movie.

Another actress said she endured a similar situation, with a worse outcome. “Director Kim and actor Cho Jae-hyun and his manager knocked on the door of my room like hyenas every night.” She alleged that she was raped by Kim and Cho. “Since Kim was always obsessed with sex, he seemed to make films for it,” she said.

Kim was also accused of animal cruelty in the making of “The Isle.” (SD-Agencies)
