Star translator Hwang Seok-hee's risk is continuing beyond the broadcasting industry to the publishing industry. Amid allegations that Hwang has committed sex crimes several times in the past, Hwang has yet to express his position in this regard. In the midst of this, the broadcasting and publishing industries are on alert.

According to Star News' confirmation on the 31st, entertainment programs such as tvN's "YOU QUIZ on the Block" and MBC's "Point of Omniscient Interference" in which Hwang Seok-hee appeared were closed. The broadcaster told Star News, "VOD is scheduled to be revised, and YouTube clips are being sequentially closed to the public."

The same goes for radio. Video clips of "Kim Young-chul's Power FM" and "Park Ha-sun's Cinetown," which were released on SBS Radio's official YouTube channel, were also closed to the public.

It also affected the publishing industry. Hwang Seok-hee's essay book "Translation: Hwang Seok-hee" published in 2023 and "Mistranslation Words" published last year were suspended from major online bookstores such as Kyobo Bookstore and Aladdin. As Hwang Seok-hee's suspicion of sex crimes has been reported and he is waiting for his position, the publishing company seems to be cutting off in advance.

On March 30, Dispatch reported that Hwang Seok-hee had committed sex crimes three times in the past. According to reports, Hwang Seok-hee molested and assaulted women on the road in 2005 in succession, and committed sexual violence against students in 2014. Accordingly, Hwang Seok-hee was indicted twice on charges of forced harassment and quasi-yusa rape, but all were released on probation.

After the report, Hwang Seok-hee said on social media, "We are currently reviewing related matters with a lawyer," adding, "We will review correction and response if the report includes any parts that are different from the facts, unconfirmed contents, or expressions outside the scope of legal judgment." Since then, Hwang Seok-hee has deleted all of her SNS posts as posts about her family, wife, and daughter on her personal account became a hot topic. Currently, only the statement on sex crimes remains.

Hwang Seok-hee is a star translator who translates a lot of foreign languages and is especially famous among moviegoers. Hwang Seok-hee translated more than 600 films, including "Deadful," "Spider-Man," and "Bohemian Rhapsody," and also translated "Project Hale Mary," which is currently playing.
