Yoon Ji Oh Clarifies That Jang Ja Yeon Was Sexually Assaulted + Did Not Willingly Offer Sexual Favors

Yoon Ji Oh, a witness to the late Jang Ja Yeon’s sexual abuse case, strongly denied that Jang Ja Yeon had bribed men in power through sexual favors.

Yoon Ji Oh was Jang Ja Yeon’s former colleague who witnessed Jang Ja Yeon being sexually assaulted and saw her preparing documents before her death. Jang Ja Yeon died by suicide back in March 2009, leaving behind a final letter revealing that she had been forced to sexually entertain powerful figures in the business and media sectors.

On March 21, Yoon Ji Oh took to her Instagram to talk about certain news outlets that reported about Jang Ja Yeon’s case as one of sexual bribery, which falsely suggests that the late actress willingly took part in sexual acts for personal gains.

She said, “I have never given sexual favors as bribes, and the same is true for [Jang Ja Yeon]. If I had taken part in such activities or had been sexually assaulted myself, I would have been able to give a clearer testimony as a living witness. Also, I was able to make it all the way here because I am one of the central figures who saw the document, which is not a will, and because I am a witness of the sexual assault.”

She told the outlets, “You reported that she provided ‘sexual favors as bribes,’ but did you confirm that such activities had taken place? If you did, then the media, police, and prosecution must know about the injustice experienced by [Jang Ja Yeon] and should clearly disclose it. It was ‘sexual assault,’ not ‘sexual bribery,’ and her tarnished reputation must be recovered. The secondary damages irresponsibly caused by the media to [Jang Ja Yeon] and myself must be remedied.”
