Jo Min-ki (November 5, 1965 – March 9, 2018) was a South Korean actor. He is best known for his roles in the television series Love and Ambition,[2] East of Eden,[3][4] Queen Seondeok,[5] and Flames of Desire. He was also a noted photographer and published two books and held solo exhibitions,.[6][7][8] In addition since 2010 he was an assistant professor at Cheongju University.[9][10]

Following high-profile accusations of sexual misconduct from numerous students, Jo was found dead at an underground parking lot in Seoul in an apparent suicide on March 9, 2018.[11]

Controversy

Sexual harassment allegations

On February 22, 2018, Jo Min-ki was accused of sexually harassing his students, which he initially denied.[12][13] It was then revealed that he had resigned from a teaching post at Cheongju University,[14] and dropped out of his upcoming drama Children of a Lesser God.[15] A week later, Jo apologized and admitted to the allegations.[10] It was confirmed that Jo would be investigated by the police and was due to turn himself in for questioning by Monday March 12, 2018.[16][10] Shortly before his death, police announced that he was banned from leaving the country during the investigation.[17] Following Jo's death, it was announced he had written and sent a written apology on February 26, however his agency decided not to release it and instead released an official statement of apology.[18]

Death

Jo Min-ki was found dead from an apparent suicide by hanging on March 9, 2018, in an underground parking lot near his home in Gwangjin District of Seoul.[11][19] Jo left a six-page suicide note in which he apologized to his family and students, although the police have declined to release the full contents of the note.[20] A private funeral was held for Jo at the Konkuk University Hospital Funeral Home in Seoul.[21]
