A 30-year-old man identified as A, known to be a family member of a famous girl group member, was arrested by police on suspicion of attempting sexual harassment against a female internet streamer, prompting broadcasters to launch an in-depth investigation.

A was caught in the act on the 14th after allegedly taking internet streamer B to his home and forcibly molesting her following a drinking session at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Notably, it was revealed that A had purchased 'a dinner date ticket' from B two days prior to the incident.

B reportedly claims that although A promised 'not to engage in any sexual contact'before moving to her residence, he later changed his behavior and attempted sexual assault. It is understood that B, feeling threatened at the time, sought help from a trusted acquaintance by going to the restroom.

During the investigation, A partially denied the allegations, admitting to physical contact but arguing that "while he may have touched her, it does not constitute molestation"and that there was no element of coercion.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office rejected the arrest warrant application against A due to insufficient evidence to substantiate the charges.

Amid these developments, C, who claims to be A's ex-wife, has intensified the controversy by exposing allegations of domestic violence. C asserted that "just two weeks after registering their marriage, beatings and severe verbal abuse began", and that illegal filming and cruel treatment occurred.

C also revealed emergency medical records from a university hospital, citing coercive acts such as "I was caught recording abusive language and nearly beaten and subjected to bite torture", and "If I said I wanted a divorce or threatened to report him, they beat me even more".

However, C mentioned her sister-in-law, a member of the girl group, and urged, "Although the fault lies with that individual, please do not blame the entire family". While the veracity of these claims remains unconfirmed, speculation has spread targeting a specific girl group member.

Meanwhile, the incident involving A has also drawn in-depth coverage by SBS's current affairs program 'Curious Story Y'. On the 18th, 'Curious Story Y' posted on its official SNS, stating, "We are seeking tips from those who know well about a famous celebrity older brother accused of sexually harassing a female internet streamer (BJ)".
