South Korea:Korean diplomat in Chile caught sexually harassing teenage girls on hidden camera

A Korean diplomat based in Chile is in hot water after being caught on camera sexually harassing an underage local girl.
He has since been recalled from his post and is likely to face criminal proceedings should he be found guilty, according to the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which emphasized through a statement Monday a “zero-tolerance principle” toward sexual harassment.
On Sunday, a Chilean TV show “En Su Propia Trampa,” or “In his own trap,” aired, exposing an official surnamed Park with the Korean Embassy in Chile making advances on a teenage school girl.
A preview clip of the show has gone viral on Facebook and other social media platforms over the weekend, and the official’s actions have caused a backlash locally and in Korea, as well.
The diplomat is seen in the video sitting on a park bench, caressing a female student’s neck and asking if he can kiss her. Park is seen asking the girl if she wants to become his “special friend” or “lover” as he strokes her leg. He is also seen in the doorway of a room, pulling her arm to force her inside as she begs him, “please, please.”

When the host of the show later informs Park that he was caught on tape, that what he has done to an underage girl is a crime both in Chile and in Korea and that Park’s actions will be reported to the police, the diplomat says he will not meet with minors anymore and begs not to be reported to the police, saying, “please, please.”
The documentary program producers began shadowing Park after receiving a tip that the official had sexually harassed an underage local female student he was teaching Korean language to back in September. The producers hired a 20-year-old woman to pose as a 13-year-old student and approach Park. They communicated over Facebook and met at a park.
The program describes Park as being responsible for the promotion of Korean culture, such as K-pop, to Chilean youth. The parents of the original girl who tipped off police about Park also appear on the show, expressing sorrow at what their daughter faced. The girl reported the harassment to Chilean police.

The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed last week that a diplomat in South America faces charges of sexually harassing local minors. A Foreign Ministry official elaborated that the diplomat, who taught Korean at a local school, faces charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female student on campus in September.
Despite the recalled official having diplomatic immunity, the ministry here said it plans to cooperate with Chilean police in the investigation process. Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se was reported to have said at a meeting of senior officials Monday that the situation was one that “should not be tolerated” and called for “disciplinary actions certainly, and, if necessary, criminal proceedings.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs "is extremely sorry for the occurrence and plans to tighten discipline in order to prevent a repeat of similar cases," it said in a press release.
The South Korean ambassador to Chile is also set to make an official apology over the incident, according to the ministry.

The ministry said it will summon the diplomat who remains in Chile although he has been suspended from his duties. It said if his wrongdoing is confirmed, he will face criminal punishment by the legal process as well as punitive measures from the ministry.
It will also cooperate with the Chilean police on the investigation into the case even though the diplomat holds immunity from criminal charges in his host country.

Korean communities in Chile, comprised of about 3,000 Korean residents, are worried the case might have a negative impact on the country's image. Chile is one of the Latin American countries where hallyu, or the Korean wave, has been gaining popularity.
Many Korean internet users are criticizing Park. "He should be ostracized from
society," a blogger with ID barb**** said. "He is a national disgrace."

The incident sparked concerns about a possible impact on the craze for K-pop and Korean TV dramas in the Latin American country. As of Monday afternoon, the initial clip had been viewed more than 700,000 times and shared by about 3,600 people, with over 900 comments posted on Facebook.
Mindful of a growing uproar among some 3,000 Koreans living in Chile, the ambassador also plans to offer a separate apology to them over the issue, the ministry noted.
