Duh, Jin Ha Pachinko Involved In Sexual Harassment Scandal Because Of Photos Of Hundreds Of Grandmothers Without Permission
JAKARTA - Jin Ha, the star of the Korean drama Pachinko, stumbled upon a sexual harassment case. Lee Min Ho's co-star is the perpetrator of hidden cameras and sexual harassment 12 years ago.
The photos have been uploaded on his personal social media accounts for 12 years, from 2010 to 2022. The photos have now disappeared after the controversy began to break out.
Quoted from Allkpop, Saturday, March 26, Jin Ha uploaded about 100 photos of old women on the subway and buses on his social media blog.
Jin Ha called the photos "Flowers In Bloom" because most of the photos uploaded showed grandmothers wearing flowery clothes.
"Flowers In Bloom, a series of photos made to show Korea's glamorous fashion trend," wrote Jin Ha.
Jin Ha uploaded the photo without covering their faces. Allegedly, the photo was taken without the consent of the women. Jin Ha wrote comments that were judged to lead to sexual harassment.
"Working with such a provocative model, I find it difficult to control myself and my passions," he wrote.
Illegal photos on Jin Ha's personal SNS accounts were kept publicly from 2010 to recently (2022). But all of them were deleted only after the controversy broke out.
Jin Ha's dark past is revealed ahead of the Korean premiere of "Pachinko" on March 25. Some domestic and foreign viewers also lost their interest in the drama.
Crimes caused by hidden cameras can destroy the lives of many women. Therefore, Jin Ha's crimes cannot be taken lightly.
