Comedian Kim Ji Min shared how she reacted to JYJ Yoochun's sexual assault controversy.

During the December 26 broadcast of 'Heard It Through the Grapevine', Yoochun's sexual assault controversy became a topic of discussion. Regarding the issue, Kim Ji Min revealed, "I was really shocked because I know Yoochun. We were actually kind of close."

She continued, "The Yoochun I know felt like a non-celebrity when I first met him. Unlike an idol star, he was easy to approach. He was simple, carefree, and easygoing. Rumors about him were also good. He's very mannerly to elders. So I was really really shocked about the sexual assault incident and even wondered if this is the Yoochun I knew."

In the summer of 2016, Yoochun was accused of sexually assaulting 5 women.

assaulting ? you know what is assaulted right? he force you without ur willingness. but if they do the 'sex things' why would people say it as assaulted ? woahh after Kimhyunjoong 's case i really think how 'dare' womens claimed to be assaulted by artist to ruin their career and to collect some money -.-

hanjivara • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

huh where was this "close" the past 13 years ? this is the 1st time I hear that she even know Yoochun let alone to be close to him ?

Jung_Wi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

Unfortunately, true or not, his career is over; he will not be able to recover from a scandal this big. :(

Julian5 Jung_Wi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

You really dont know him! U think that some dirty girls will be the reason of his retirement lol He ll comeback stronger than ever

shyloone Jung_Wi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

you dont know nothing, his career will still be strong, if not stronger, because his true fans stick by him, I cant wait for his next drama,

chelle203 shyloone • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

well then, you don't know anything about Knetz

chelle203 Julian5 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

well then, you don't know anything about Knetz

shyloone chelle203 • Wednesday, December 28, 2016

I think you dont know anything about korean celebrities, how they bounce back from bullshit and become stronger and better, and like i said im just one of a list of many who cant wait for Yoochuns return to the screen

chelle203 shyloone • Wednesday, December 28, 2016

i believe yoochun will back stronger and better. i wait for his work too. don't get me wrong, i'm not his anti. but we talk about Korean netizens here, they will make yoochun's way to comeback very very hard

Jung_Wi • Wednesday, December 28, 2016

I'm not an anti;I love PYC ever since his TVXQ days but, how many Korean Celebrities do you know who have been able to survive a scandal like this? He didn't rape anyone but the fact that it has been proven he has been involved in a prostitution scandal will make it very hard.

Julian5 Jung_Wi • Thursday, December 29, 2016

THose were all false! He is clean & been cleared of all! He is just rising in popularity now! The previous ones really did it! bt YC was only used as a bait he is a victim & all Korea is aware of that now & they started defending him! They even sent hate to this comedian after what she said! Alkp released an article abt that! check it

gomashvipforever • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

Now they talk about him on tv, after he did something bad🙄

Julian5 gomashvipforever • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

Right bt He did nothing bad!

missdi gomashvipforever • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

he did nothing wrong - he just had sex...

Julian5 missdi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

It was all fabricated to cover the gouvernement scandals dear! he ll next sue media outlets for faking truths & misleading people starting with jtbc & dispatch! just wait & see

missdi Julian5 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

well, that would be best

Lelurker Julian5 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

he's not gonna sue the media lol.

Julian5 Lelurker • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

I said media ""outlets" that faked truths! & Yess his agency already warned them & if if remember well it was jtbc who asked his agency abt the content of the lawsuit against them! + they have history with suing media & winning cases they won a case against dispatch back in 2012! They just won't sit without defending themselves & clearing their names they r extremely brave! & out of all the actors who were falsely accused of sexuel assault recently! Yuchun is the only one who dare to sue back the criminals! He should be respected nt the opposite

lizvip • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

the article is incomplete, SURE theya re talking about the sentence that will be out in january 17

bibi87 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

So, in one sentence: she thinks the rumors are true.

ketisanmo bibi87 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

looking more like this article is incomplete

ketisanmo • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

cos we should not assume what is exactly she had in mind.

JYJRainbow bibi87 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

'Rumors about him were also good' means talk about him were also good. please read carefully

hanjivara bibi87 • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

where ?

sicupidcipid • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

Hmm... Even she's his closest friend, she wont know his true color. So, dont say smtg like this. If you really someone's best friend, better to just shut ur mouth. Either you'll hurt him with ur response or people will

sicupidcipid • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

Ught.. Havent finish writing. Or people will doubt u as his best friend. But if she knows him well, she should know his life style.. Sooo... Hmm

missdi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

it seems there is a part 2 of this article... because a person who claims to know Yoochun well and be friends with him would never doubt him even before it was established it is a case of a mafia blackmailing him...

ketisanmo missdi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

I thought this article is incomplete. cos a person who said she is close friend of YC willl never doubt him ..shocked by the accusation but never stop at that if she says as a close friend. Well that girl is waiting jail sentence for false accusation and extortion.

ketisanmo • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

And the ruling and sentencing will be delivered on 17th January by the judge. The prosecutors are demanding a 2 year jail sentence for her crime

JYJRainbow missdi • Tuesday, December 27, 2016

She said she was shock by the news cause she knew yoochun and he was a nice guy. how in the world are you taking it against him
