Chairman of Major Karaoke Franchise Accused of Sexual Harassment

The chairman of South Korea's largest karaoke franchise has been accused of repeatedly sexually harassing female employees. On July 15, former employees B (31) and C (27) filed a complaint against Chairman Kim at the Suwon Police Station, alleging that he engaged in inappropriate physical contact with them. So far, over ten current and former employees have come forward with similar claims.
According to the allegations, between May and June, Chairman Kim touched B's buttocks and shoulders on multiple occasions. B, who worked at the franchise for four years, resigned on July 1. C reported that from August 2023 to February 2024, she was also subjected to unwanted touching by Kim in empty rooms at the store, including her shoulders, waist, and buttocks. C left the company in April after five years of employment.
Both women expressed feelings of severe shame and fear of retaliation from Kim, who they described as ruling the company like a king. They stated that they felt unable to speak out while employed but decided to file a complaint after leaving the company.
Kim's representatives have denied the allegations, claiming that he has never engaged in any inappropriate contact with female employees.
