Police sought an arrest warrant for the older brother of a member of a famous girl group, who was arrested on suspicion of molesting a female internet broadcast host (BJ), but prosecutors rejected it.
On the 18th, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office decided not to request the warrant to the court that police applied for the previous day to detain Namsung A.
Prosecutors were said to have determined that there was insufficient evidence to support the charges.
A was arrested in the act on the evening of the 14th on suspicion of attempting inappropriate physical contact after drinking with the victim at a restaurant in Gangnam District and taking the victim to A's home. A was reportedly purchased a "dinner date voucher" from the victim two days before the alleged crime.
A is reported to be the older brother of a member of a famous girl group.
