1. [+2,686, -477] I think this needs some investigating still. If she was able to user her cellphone, why not call the police? Why contact her friend first? And apparently he fell asleep too so she could've escaped... this isn't a situation that's easily understood.

2. [+1,579, -296] The same people who want to "stay neutral" when it's a male celebrity are always the ones accusing women of being kkot-baems...

3. [+1,548, -402] Let's keep the witch hunting to a minimum until the investigations are over. There's just something that isn't right... It's wrong to automatically assume that a man is a sex criminal!

4. [+895, -98] Kang Ji Hwan got caught before for soliciting prostitution in South East Asia like Big Bang's Seungri, remember???

5. [+498, -246] Something about the story feels off, like it's not adding up... Let's not take sides after hearing one side, investigate this neutrally...!

6. [+178, -61] So this wasn't even a one on one situation, nor were they tied down. One was sexually assaulted, the other was harassed... But no matter how much stronger a man is, I feel like two women could've restricted him in his drunken state. Wouldn't calling 112 be faster than calling a friend? Their story just doesn't add up...

7. [+116, -8] Wasn't he in another scandal where a woman took a picture of him sleeping in her bed... ㅎ

8. [+124, -29] They're claiming they were locked up in there? So who opened the door when the police got there? Kang Ji Hwan? Or the two women? And why contact the friend first? All they had to do was call 112? This is weird.

1. [+3,371, -421] Not sure what's going on, whether they're kkot-baem who took advantage of the fact that he was drunk or whether he used being drunk as an excuse to come on to them...

2. [+3,170, -415] I think we should wait and see...

3. [+773, -68] Is he the type to turn into a dog when he gets drunk? Wasn't he in a scandal before where he solicited girls in the Philippines and got his picture taken? So he had to lie and say they were his staff to kill the scandal ㅋㅋ

4. [+287, -73] People have no problem treating Go Jun Hee like a criminal but with Kang Ji Hwan, they're like "let's wait and see" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+220, -14] He had a similar scandal before this too

6. [+180, -42] Wasn't he sleeping when the police got there?? So why are the girls claiming they were locked in there? They could've walked out with their own two feet; this just smells fishy...

7. [+131, -54] This smells fishy... So they reported it at 9:40 but the police came an hour later? And these two women are claiming they were overpowered by one man?

8. [+115, -4] With the world the way it is, celebrities need to really manage themselves hard. The fact that he was drinking with two women in his home at all means he wasn't being careful.

9. [+105 -21] So they didn't even call 112 first, they texted their friend saying they were locked in there?? Exactly how was he prohibiting them from leaving? Did he threaten to stab them? Did they try screaming? And they outnumbered him too, this is just ridiculous.

10. [+99, -24] So A is claiming to have been assaulted, B is claiming to have been harassed, what was B doing while A was being assaulted?

3. [+209, -15] Wait, so his real name is Jo Tae Gyu? ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+88, -2] Why does he live his life like this? So cheaply?

5. [+73, -4] What a raunchy life ㅋㅋㅋ Any man who goes on a trip to SEA with other male friends is 100% for one thing ^^ remember that, all you girlfriends

6. [+47, -9] So this guy is a repeat offender~~~~ just disappear forever~~~

7. [+43, -1] This guy should abstain from getting drunk... why is he always laying next to a woman when drunk? And claims to never remember when he gets up...

8. [+41, -1] He's over 40 years old and still acting like he's in his early twenties tsk tsk, no wonder he's getting reported
