Singer J. Sera (33) has taken legal action, directly refuting Mr. A's claim that he threatened to falsely accuse her of sexual assault.J-Sera's legal representative, lawyer Choi Yi-seon of Daeryun Law Firm, said in an official statement on the 3rd, "J-Sera was sexually assaulted by the other party while asleep after taking sleeping pills on the night of August 16, 2021. After the incident, the other party continued to confess his love to J-Sera and said that he truly liked J-Sera. “It is true that we acted as if nothing had happened.”


However, Attorney Choi explained that Mr. A later boasted that he had sexual contact with J. Sera, and J. Sera, who was angry, asked, “How can you rape me while I was asleep after taking sleeping pills, and then brag about it to people around you?”


Attorney Choi said, “When J. Sera said to the other person, ‘You did it even though you knew I had taken sleeping pills. That is rape,’ the other person seemed to evade responsibility by saying, ‘I didn’t know at the time that I had taken sleeping pills, but I found out a few days later.’ The recording file on YouTube was arbitrarily edited by the other party, and J. Sera has the original copy and plans to submit it to the investigative agency.”


In addition, regarding the claim that J-Sera called Mr. A to the lodging establishment and also gave him his home address, he said, “On the day of the incident, J-Sera reserved two rooms and invited several influencers to film a YouTube video,” and “He made it clear that the purpose of inviting the other party to the lodging establishment was ‘a gathering of several influencers to film a video.’ “He made false claims as if he had approached me.”


He also refuted, "As Sera Music is a small private agency, J. Sera's house is used as an office for company-related meetings. Accordingly, acquaintances, employees, etc. who frequently visit the house for work knew the house password, and the other party was fully aware of this fact. Therefore, interpreting the invitation to the house as sexual intent is also a one-sided claim by the other party."


Attorney Choi hinted at a legal response, saying, “We have carefully reviewed the evidence and legal principles of this case, provided a satisfactory explanation for the parts you are curious about, and confirmed the evidence. We will file a complaint against the other party for quasi-forcible harassment and defamation, and proceed with due legal procedures.”

On the 28th of last month, a post titled ‘I am being threatened by famous singer J’ was posted on an online community.


According to the article, Mr. A, who became close with J while working with him, later engaged in skinship at J's house, and when J confessed to him, he rejected it. Afterwards, J suddenly claimed that she had been sexually assaulted and started swearing and threatening her.


As evidence for this, Mr. A also disclosed some of the KakaoTalk conversation messages he shared with J. The conversation included J conveying his friendliness to Mr. A and informing him of his house password, etc.


J-Sera, who was later identified as Miss J, said on the 30th of the same month, "He is not my ideal type at all and I have never felt attracted to him, so he tried to inflict such damage on me, who refused to confess to me, so I feel even more hurt and feel sorry for him. I plan to respond to matters related to defamation."


Meanwhile, J. Sera, who debuted with the single album 'Lonely Night' in 2010, released songs such as 'I Don't Have Me', 'Fever', and 'I Love You'. In addition, she participated in the OSTs of many dramas, including 'A Woman's Secret', 'Shine Eunsu', 'Summer Please Take Care of Me', and 'Elegant Mother and Daughter'.
