Lee Jin-uk had said before that 'the truth with overcome the lies'.

This case is going to remain as a classic example of the abuse of popular celebrities for their reputation. It represents the consequences of various happenings involving celebrities.

As soon as it occurred, all sorts of rumors and gossip went around just for the reason that Lee Jin-uk is a celebrity. He was even branded as 'a rapist'. The 'presumption of innocence' was nowhere to be found. Revealing the name of this celebrity has become a custom in this field and they are robbed of their basic given rights. They are cruelly judged by the public as a witch-hunt is done even before the court comes to a conclusion.

However, even though Lee Jin-uk's name has been cleared legally, he is not completely indulged. There is criticism that he was not careful about his actions. The last couple of months have been flooding with sexual assaults made by male celebrities and although Lee Jin-uk has been punished enough by the public, some say he shouldn't be allowed to act like nothing ever happened.

Famous celebrities need to take care of themselves. It is a kind of mannerism towards the fans who support them. They shouldn't claim that they are just innocent but they should reflect on the fact that they weren't cautious enough in the beginning.
