On the 25th, media outlet ‘Sunday Seoul‘ reported an
exclusive interview with ‘B’, a person said to be the best friend to trainee ‘A’
and was present on the night of Park Si
Hoo sexual assault scandal.
In the interview, ‘B’ reported that Park Si Hoo and his hoobae had
not had a sip of any of the alcohol, and had only told ‘A’ to drink. ‘A’
reportedly drank only one bottle of soju, and ‘B’ asserted that there was no way
‘A’ could get drunk from one bottle, and that there must be drugs involved
because ‘A’ had felt different than usual. ‘B’ also reported that ‘A’ had sent a
text message to her parents saying that she’d go home soon, but had lost
consciousness in the car.
Also, ‘B’ reported that Park Si Hoo already had a condom on when ‘A’ opened
her eyes in the morning, and his hoobae touched her while she was
naked. However, these statements seem to be a little different from the previous
reports by ‘A’, who claimed she had already been sexually assaulted when she
woke up. ‘B’ also mentioned in the interview that Park Si Hoo had worn a mask
from when he was coming out from the apartment, so he had been planning the
assault from the beginning.
However, Park Si Hoo’s side slammed the interview as being completely
fabricated from ‘A’. His new law firm said, “As you already know, Park Si Hoo’s
alcohol tolerance is very low. But on the day of the incident, Park Si Hoo drank
about 10 shots of soju over the course of 3 hours. Therefore, the reports that
he didn’t drink anything are false.” They also confirmed that Park Si Hoo
always wears a mask coming in and out from the apartment so he wouldn’t be
recognized, and that this fact could be checked through the daily footage of
CCTV.
Not only so, but the new law firm added, “‘A’ said that she had lost
consciousness for about 13 hours when she went into Park Si Hoo’s house and came
back out during her investigation, but she seems to remember all the very minute
details about Park Si Hoo that would be used against him that people wouldn’t
normally remember, so her account is not very believable. Her articles use terms
such as that she felt fuzzy, insinuating as if the National Forensic Service’s
results had already come out that drugs had been used against her, so we very
suspicious about her comments.”
They added on, “‘A’ went home perfectly fine at around 2PM after the
incident, and you can confirm this through CCTV footage. Not only so, but she
texted Park Si Hoo’s hoobae multiple times afterwards.”
However, although there has been no official decisions made, it seems that
the favor could be tipped for Park Si Hoo now, as test results from the
National Forensics Service showed that no traces of any drugs
were found in ‘A’. Because ‘A’ had asserted that there was no way she could have
gotten so drunk with just one bottle of soju, the investigators had taken
samples of her hair, urine, and blood to be sent to the National Forensics
Service to check for traces of any date-rape type drugs. All of her tests came
out to be negative.
There is still a possibility that the drugs had been flushed out of her
system by the time the tests were conducted. Forensic experts said, “If it
had been less than 24 hours since the incident, the drugs will have most likely
still remained in her system. However, after 24 hours, it is highly possible
that the drugs would have dissociated in her system or have been flushed
out.”
