On the 10th, Lee Jin-uk was a witness at Oh's second trial, which was held at the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Appeals Division 2 and presided over by Judge Yoo Woo-cheol. According to Lee Jin-uk's request, the witness questioning was conducted in private.

Previously, Oh accused Lee of raping her in July of 2016 when they gathered at her house for dinner. Lee counters that "it was sex without force" and countersued her for false charges.

Lee was not charged with rape, but Oh was indicted on charges of Lee's innocence. Oh was convicted in June of last year, but the prosecution appealed.

However, the first commission said, "There was no proof of crime on the charges" and pronounced Oh not guilty. At the time, the court said, "It is probable that Oh was not actively engaged in sexual intercourse, and there is a good chance that she had intercourse against her will".
