New accusations of rape and predatory sexual behavior have been made against controversial South Korean film director Kim Ki-duk.
Three actresses made the new accusations on investigative news show “Pd’s Notebook,” which was broadcast on Korean public broadcaster Mbc on Tuesday evening. All three made their claims anonymously.
Following the allegations, local distributor N.E.W. said that it had indefinitely postponed the Korean theatrical release of Kim’s latest movie “Human, Space, Time and Human.” The film played last month in the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival.
One of the three women who spoke to “Pd’s Notebook” was the same actress who previously accused Kim of sexual assault, alleging that he slapped her on the first day of filming “Moebius” in 2014. Kim maintains that he was instructing the actress on her role.
A court hearing in December dismissed the sex assault charge, but ordered Kim to pay a $4,700 (KRW5,000) fine.
