However, Yonhap News states that it appears it will not be easy for there to be a reinvestigation into the suspicions at the core of this case, such as the forcing of Jang Ja Yeon to serve drinks and perform sexual favors, as well as the suspected complicity of powerful figures in sexual crimes. The team also reportedly secured evidence that Kim had forced Jang Ja Yeon to entertain.

It’s reported that the Investigative Team of Past Affairs has put forth a recommendation for an investigation into Jang Ja Yeon’s agency CEO Kim for suspicions of giving false testimony when he stated in court that he did not assault Jang Ja Yeon. Actress Lee Mi Sook was also called in for questioning after being accused of taking advantage of the late actress for her legal battle against the CEO of her previous agency, which also managed Jang Ja Yeon. The team also interviewed Yoon Ji Oh, a former colleague of Jang Ja Yeon who said she saw Jang Ja Yeon preparing her document and also saw her being sexually harassed.

Questioning was conducted on the former CEO of TV Chosun Bang Jung Oh and his uncle Bang Yong Hoon. More than 80 people were questioned as references by the team as part of its reinvestigation. The team also indicted a former Chosun Ilbo reporter on charges of sexually assaulting Jang Ja Yeon.

On May 13, the team’s final report was submitted to the Ministry of Justice’s Committee of Past Affairs. The Investigative Team of Past Affairs began a reinvestigation into several suspicions surrounding her case on April 2, 2018. At the time, the police cleared about 10 names charged for sexual abuse that were mentioned in the actress’s list, and the case ended with only her agency CEO and manager being charged for assault and defamation. She is said to have left behind a final document revealing that she had been forced to sexually entertain powerful figures in the business and media industries. Jang Ja Yeon (who appeared in projects such as “ Boys Over Flowers“) passed away in March 2009, and her death was ruled to be a suicide. The Investigative Team of Past Affairs at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has concluded their reinvestigation of late actress Jang Ja Yeon’s sexual abuse case.
