Musical actor Nam Kyung-ju (63) has been handed over to the prosecution on charges of sexual violence against women, and it has been reported that he is running for the chairman of the Korea Musical Association. The Korean Musical Association said, "The report is false and groundless."

On the 12th, an official from the Korea Musical Association told Star News, "It is not true that actor Nam Kyung-ju ran for the chairman of the association and suddenly stopped running," adding, "We did not submit documents within the candidate registration period."

Earlier, the Korean Musical Association recruited and announced the chairman, and it is required to submit documents by the end of last month to be registered as a candidate. Nam Kyung-ju explained that he did not submit the document itself. An official added, "We don't know why such a completely untrue report came out."

On this day, a media outlet reported that Nam Kyung-ju was a candidate for the chairman of the Korea Musical Association, which is scheduled to be held on the 23rd, but he suddenly did not run.

Meanwhile, the Seoul Bangbae Police Station sent Nam Kyung-ju to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office without detention last month on charges of adultery by force. He is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Seoul last year. The victim reportedly left the scene and reported 112.

Nam Kyung-ju denied the crime in a police investigation, but the police sent the case to the prosecution, believing that the charges were admitted. Currently, Nam Kyung-ju's Instagram account has been deleted. The official position regarding the incident has not yet been disclosed.
