After being caught on charges including sexual assault of a student, musical actor Nam Gyeongju, who had been in hiding, is set to appear in court this June.

According to StarNews, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 13 has scheduled the first trial on June 12 for Nam Gyeongju on charges of sexual intercourse with a person under supervision. Previously, on the 24th, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Women and Children Crime Investigation Division 2 filed a non-detained indictment against Nam Gyeongju applying the charge of sexual intercourse with a person under supervision.

According to police, Nam Gyeongju was transferred to the Prosecutors' Office in February on charges of sexually assaulting female student A using his social status and influence at a certain location in Seocho-gu, Seoul, in December 2025.

It is reported that A reported the incident to 112 immediately after the event. Nam Gyeongju denied the allegations during police investigation, but police concluded the allegations were credible and transferred the case to the Prosecutors' Office.

Subsequently, Nam Gyeongju's side requested the Prosecutors' Office to refer the case to criminal mediation in an attempt to reach a settlement, but it reportedly failed due to the victim's refusal.

Nam Gyeongju, who had been working alone without an agency until recently, has not yet issued an official statement. He has also deleted his Instagram account and appears to be erasing all traces of the incident, so his appearance at this trial is expected to draw attention. Shortly after the sexual assault incident came to light, Hongik University, where Nam Gyeongju was serving as a professor in the Department of Performing Arts, held a disciplinary committee and decided to remove him from his position. Nam Gyeongju served as an associate professor in the Performing Arts and Musical Theater major at Hongik University's Department of Performing Arts until 2025, conducting classes, but was removed from his position just before the start of the current semester.

Born in 1964, Nam Gyeongju is 62 years old this year and is known as a grand master of Korean musicals, representing the first generation. After debuting in the 1984 play "Porgy and Bess," he appeared in numerous musical works including "The Lady and the Tramps," "West Side Story," "Les Misérables," "Grease," and "42nd Street on Broadway."

Nam Gyeongju continued his activities in 2025, appearing in "Hidden Love" and "The Show! Silla-Gyeongju."

Meanwhile, as this sexual assault case has come to light, Nam Gyeongju's past record of two drunk driving incidents and one unlicensed driving incident has also been re-examined.

Nam Gyeongju's license was revoked in December 2002 due to exceeding the demerit points for drunk driving. Not stopping there, his license was revoked again in June 2003 for exceeding demerit points due to another drunk driving incident. At the time, he said, "I had urgent business, so I had no choice but to drive." Furthermore, despite his license being revoked, he was indicted without detention in April 2004 for driving his mother's sedan without a license on a road in front of Samsung-dong High School in Gangnam-gu.

It is also reported that he was taken to a Samcheong Education Camp during his third year of high school due to being a troublemaker. In this regard, musical actor Nam Kyung-eup, who appeared with his younger brother Nam Gyeongju in the 2010 play "Rain Man" at a press conference, said, "My younger brother is actually a troublemaker," and added, "He even went to the Samcheong Education Camp while still a high school senior. I attended the same high school as Gyeongju and even served as the religious affairs officer, so I was scolded every day because of my younger brother."
