Former Partner of TV Personality Cleared of Charges for Providing Managers' Personal Information to Police

"'Claimed to Have Obtained Consent from Victims'... Victims Avoid Police Contact"

A’s former partner, who was accused of illegally providing the personal information of A’s managers to the police, has been cleared of all charges.

According to the police on May 31, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul decided not to refer B, A’s former partner accused of violating the Personal Information Protection Act, for prosecution on May 18.

B was accused of providing the names and resident registration numbers of the managers to the police, suspecting them in connection with the theft that took place at A’s residence in Yongsan District. It was determined that B had obtained the personal information by claiming it was needed “for insurance purposes.”

In the decision not to refer the case to prosecutors, the police stated, “It is acknowledged that B provided the personal information of the victims (the managers) to the investigative authorities. However, B claims that he obtained the victims’ consent, and the victims have been avoiding contact with the authorities and have not provided any statements.”

Previously, in April last year, A reported to the police that valuables worth tens of millions of won had been stolen from their residence in Yongsan District. The police initially suspected an inside job, but their investigation revealed that the perpetrator was an unrelated man in his 30s with a criminal record, and not Mr. Park. This man’s two-year prison sentence was finalized on April 16.
