Meditation YouTuber with 600,000 Subscribers Facing Sexual Assault Accusations

According to JTBC on September 10th, victim A reported being sexually assaulted while attending classes at a meditation center led by the well-known instructor, Mr. Lee.

A stated, “Near the end of the class, he suddenly told me to stand up and turn around, and to place my hands against the wall.” A continued, “When I placed my hands on the wall, he started touching my body from head to toe with his own body from behind.”

Despite A’s protests, Lee continued his actions. A recounted, “I told him that this did not seem right, but he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and said that he liked me but could not express it because he was a married man.”

A minor with an intellectual disability, who met Lee during a volunteer activity, was also a victim. The victim’s mother explained, “He said, ‘Are you very hot?’ while putting his hand under the child’s shirt and stroking their back, and also touching their buttocks.”

B, who had been living abroad, met Lee upon returning to Korea. After offering to teach B English, Lee sent sexually inappropriate text messages. B said, “He sent me messages saying that he liked sleeping in my bed, kissing me, and things like that.”

Eventually, B filed a police complaint against Lee. In July, Lee was fined 2 million won and sentenced to 40 hours of sexual violence treatment.

When asked for a statement, Lee’s representatives said they could not comment on his behalf.

The Gangseo Police Station in Seoul is conducting an investigation, believing that at least 4 individuals have been victimized, and they are working to identify more potential victims.
