South Korean director sues women’s rights group over ‘MeToo damages’
The director claims his reputation has been “significantly damaged” especially after the group asked an international film festival to cancel their invitation to Kim, citing allegations of sexual abuse made against him, the Womenlink group said.
The director also accused the women’s rights group of “unfairly stigmatising him as a sexual predator”, even though prosecutors dropped the charge, and thereby causing financial damages as some of his films could not secure distribution at home and abroad as a result, the group added. “He is yet again tarnishing his own reputation by filing a lawsuit against an organisation that supports victims .”
The global #MeToo phenomenon has exposed South Korea’s previously unreported cases of sexual misconduct by high-profile figures, including a former presidential contender, in a country where patriarchal values remain deeply ingrained.
