With Jang Ja Yeon‘s sexual abuse case being reopened recently, JTBC‘s ‘Newsroom‘ broke that there was actually a witness to the things the late actress had to do.
On June 28, JTBC’s “Newsroom” reported that Jang Ja Yeon’s former colleague Miss Yoon, who had been in the same agency, was actually a witness to the sexual harassment case at the time. Miss Yoon explained, “There were both business and political figures present at the place. I gave a consistent testimony [at the time], but they received only the perpetrator’s claims.” She continued, saying, “They made sexually harassing statements such as ‘A woman has to have a pretty figure,’ but there was no one to restrain it. There were also moments of physical sexual harassment. There were two or three times when they would forcibly sit [Jang Ja Yeon] down whenever she tried to get up. I felt guilty that I couldn’t make right the injustice that [Jang Ja Yeon] had [received]. All I did was tell it like it is, but when I saw that it was being kept hidden, I became afraid,” she confessed.
I actually think the fact that she says her testimony was suppressed is more important than what she actually saw, as I don’t believe many doubted Jang Ja Yeon was forced to do these things, it was just a lot of confusion about why basically nobody was punished. Should be interesting if they find other instances of information they didn’t like not getting out to the public.
