Popular South Korean actor Yoo Ah-In, known for his roles in ''Burning'' and the series ''Hell Bound,'' has been accused of sexually assaulting a 30-year-old man. The actor's lawyer has denied the claims.

According to the Korea Times, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station received a complaint against Yoo on Thursday. Yoo's legal representative, Bang Jung-hyun, stated that the allegations are not true and urged the public to refrain from unnecessary speculation about Yoo's private life. The accuser, identified only as Mr. A, claims he was sexually assaulted by Yoo on July 14 while sleeping in an officetel building in Yongsan, Seoul.

Officetel buildings are popular in Korea as they allow occupants to work and live in the same space, reducing commute time. The Yongsan Police Station confirmed that a complaint was received on July 26 and that Yoo Ah-In has been indicted. The police have not yet contacted Yoo but plan to summon him for questioning soon.

This marks a new set of legal troubles for the actor, who is already on trial for receiving propofol, a drug used in anesthetic sedation, along with other drugs including marijuana.
