Korean-American 'Pachinko' actor Jin-ha is under controversy for illegal acts and lewd comments.
On the 24th, his molka archive of elderly women previously posted on his blog was leaked and began spreading in online communities. From July 2010 to September 2011, Jin-ha posted over 100 photos of Korean grandmas in subways and buses.
Jin-ha titled the album "Flowers in Bloom" and introduced the photos as "a series created to showcase Korea's fascinating fashion trend." The elderly women were not blurred out and the photos appear to have been taken without the grandmas consent.
In one photo of an elderly grandma laying on her side on a chair, Jinha wrote, "working with such a provocative model, I found it hard to keep my lust and concupiscence under control." He added, "Now we have an excuse to stare directly at her right n*pple."
In addition, he didn't hesitate to make sexually harassing and sexist remarks such as "Kim Jong-il's dongsaeng..", "Looks like a duck," and "Feels like a girlfriend at first impression."
Netizens that saw the molka and lewd comments expressed deep anger writing, "I won't be watching Pachinko!" Another netizen criticized, "the illegal filming in itself is problematic but to write down such unpleasant and sexist remarks criticizing these elderly grandmas, hul~"
Meanwhile, actor Jin-ha caught attention with his female hanbok at the global premiere of 'Pachinko' that was held at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, CA.
This controversy is expected to grow further as Jin-ha is appearing in 'Pachinko' that premiered on the 25th where main character is an elderly Korean grandma who endured turbulence of the times.

- [+2,178, -14] A f***ing psycho!!
- [+475, -11] Sigh... please do background checks of actors before casting them in any dramas.. what a way to sh*t all over a drama related to our history.
- [+416, -11] ㅋㅋDid he think he could keep his true nature hidden forever? We really need to make sure he's taught a lesson deep in his bones this time..
- [+408, -14] Isn't he American? Is there a brave gyopo lawyer out there that can represent us in the US? He needs to be shaken dry! Lets boycott the drama. Apple TV needs to start preparing a lawsuit to sue for damages.
- [+265, -0] Wow ~~ he's a psychopath. How was this psycho able to get filtered out with no one noticing? He's a criminal in the making.
- [+182, -0] Now that his true nature has been exposed, seeing him in that hanbok feels very perverted. Just yesterday, I was in awe of his sense of fashion that went beyond gender...but it turns out it was just his perverted tastes.
- [+176, -0] He had such a dirty history of sexually harassing Korean grandmas and had the audacity to appear in a drama about Korean immigrant grandmothers? No way this is real..
- [+147, -1] Each of those grandmas that he fetishized need to file a lawsuit against him. Since he's American, he'll probably get hit with a huge fine too. This isn't something an apology letter can fix. We need one of those Korean-American lawyers to take this up. A trash ba$tard like him needs to get punished for his sexual harassments and discrimination. The U.S is merciless towards thugs like him.
- [+117, -2] We cannot allow a world where a psycho like him is allowed to succeed!
