Kim Yong-man, chairman of the famous gimbap franchise "Kim Ga-ne," was booked by police for attempting to rape a drunken female employee at a dinner party.

Seongbuk Police Station in Seoul said on the 13th that it received a complaint against Chairman Kim in July and is investigating him on charges of sexual assault and sexual assault (violation of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act).

The police believe that Chairman Kim committed the crime after forcing the victim A to drink at a dinner party in September last year, and moving to a nearby motel when A lost his mind due to alcohol.

In addition, Chairman Kim demanded a continuous meeting with A afterwards, and cajoled him by offering a settlement on the condition that the case would not be disclosed to the outside world.

Mr. A responded to the agreement for fear of losing his job, but he received psychiatric treatment for about a year when the fact became known inside and outside the company.

The police will soon complete the investigation and send Chairman Kim to the prosecution without detention.
