The former documentary had set off its duties on 24 September, in accordance with the presidency of the public audiovisual group, when the complaint for rape that was known. Filed out without a continuation on October 25, this simple complaint was filed on November 6, 2019 by his wife, Margaret Hyerim Kim, with whom he is pending divorce.
