The Last Case Facing Korean Actor Park Shi Hoo Is Settled

After almost six months of litigation, all of the lawsuits against actor Park Shi Hoo have finally been settled. The last unresolved case involved defamation charges filed against Park Shi Hoo by his former manager, Mr. Hwang.

The case began in February when a trainee actress known as "A" filed charges against Park Shi Hoo. She claimed that the actor sexually assaulted her. The actor, who starred in "Cheomdamdung Alice" and the "Princess' Man," said the couple dined with friends, she returned to his apartment willingly and their relations were consensual. The Seoul Police investigated the case and then turned it over to the prosecutor's office for indictment. Park Shi Hoo counter-sued the actress for slandering him and also sued his former manager for conspiring with her. In return, Hwang filed another suit against the actor for defaming him.

In his suit, Hwang said, "Me working with 'A' in a conspiracy to defame Park Shi Hoo isn't true by any accounts."

In May, the actress dropped her charges against Park Shi Hoo. When she dropped her charges, the prosecutor withdrew the indictment. Although the actress sent a friend text messages implying she would ask the actor for a huge amount of settlement money and rumors said he paid her $90,000, the actor denied making a financial settlement.
