It was September 2016, and Park, a newspaper reporter from Seoul, had taken the weekend off. She was ready to meet a friend when her editor called with a tip from a trustworthy police source.
“He told me there was a big case being investigated which involved secretly recorded sex footage and a big-name celebrity: Jung Joon-young.”
Jung was a huge singer-songwriter in the band Drug Restaurant, as well as a TV personality with millions of fans.
However, the source claimed Jung’s girlfriend had accused him of secretly taping her during sex, a crime known as “molka” in South Korea.
Park canceled her dinner arrangements and returned straight to the office to meet with her editor.
