• Park Shi Hoo's Alleged Victim Was Carried into His Home + Other Updates
  Here are some more updates on the Park Shi Hoo sexual assault case.
  We previously reported that the owner of the bar, in which Park Shi Hoo and his accuser drank, looked at the surveillance footage of that night. The bar owner stated that both Park Shi Hoo and the accuser A didn't seem that drunk and that A was even able to go down a flight of stairs without any help.
  However, new reports state that the police investigated the surveillance footage of Park Shi Hoo's home and discovered that A was carried inside by another celebrity, K.
  On February 14, Park Shi Hoo, A and rookie actor K drank together. On February 20, the police discovered that K drove Park Shi Hoo and A home in his own car. The CCTV footage also revealed that K carried A on his back while Park Shi Hoo walked on his own inside.
  
  On February 20, sources from the rookie actor K spoke with TV Report and said, "Park Shi Hoo and A met through K. After drinking, the three of them happily went home. Park Shi Hoo and A spent time together with mutual interest. At the bar and in Park Shi Hoo's home, everyone had a good time."
  Rookie actor K revealed that the morning after, he and A texted each other, asking how each other was doing. K commented, "If there was sexual assault on that night, she couldn't have texted me in that manner. I cannot see a reason for this accusation. She suddenly changed," and "There are so many rumors right now that it's really unfair. Moreover, I'm incredibly sorry to senior Park Shi Hoo."
  
  There have also been reports that the three of them have met up for the first time after this scandal had erupted.
  On February 20, Park Shi Hoo reportedly met up with A to ask her to tell him the exact reasons of her accusations. Apparently, rookie actor K was present as well. However, Park Shi Hoo's sources later on denied these reports and said that this encounter did not take place.
  Park Shi Hoo is to officially go in for questioning for the investigation of this case on February 24 at 10 AM.
  Police sources say, "We tried to set up an appointment to have Park Shi Hoo come in but he did not respond so we sent him a notice to request for his attendance," and "If one fails to attend on 3 counts, a warrant can be issued for arrest but since Park Shi Hoo is pleading not guilty, we think he will be coming in."
  
  In addition, the bar owner spoke with the press revealing more details about the night of the incident.
  When asked if Park Shi Hoo a frequent customer of the bar, the owner answered, "I think he comes quite often. I've only seen him 2-3 times myself. On the night of the incident, I didn't see him. I found out about this through the media and after asking my employees, I checked the CCTV footage myself."
  The owner continued, "Including Park Shi Hoo, there were three people. They drank in a private room. Park Shi Hoo and another male actor K came sometime between 10:30 PM – 11:00 PM. A came a little later. Park Shi Hoo paid for the bill at around 1:30 AM. Then about 10 minutes after, they all left."
  About the amount of alcohol they consumed, the owner revealed, "The three of them ordered two bottles of soju. I don't know who drank how much."
  Questions were also asked about A's appearance. The owner stated, "She looked like a normal, twenty-something female. She wasn't dressed up fancily. She was wearing demin skinny jeans."
  The bar owner also revealed, "They left in the car they came in. They did not ask us to call the designated driver service or take the taxi."
  Stay tuned to Soompi for more updates on this case.

• Move Over Kim Tae Hee? Actress Ha Yun Joo Becomes Member of Mensa International
  Actress Ha Yun Joo becomes one of the first Korean actors to join the highly exclusive society, certifying her as a genius. Kim Tae Hee has been the representative of beauty and brains because of her Seoul University background, but it looks like her reign might soon come to an end.
  Mensa International is the umbrella organization of Mensa, which was founded in 1946 in Oxford, England. The only qualification for membership to the non-profit organization is to have a high IQ. It is open to individuals who score at the 98th percentile or more on supervised IQ tests, which would be at least 130.
  On February 19, her agency said through a phone interview, "At the beginning of this year, Ha Yun Joo and her older sister took the Mensa test. She later received a membership letter. Her sister is very brilliant and many have encouraged her to take the Mensa test. Ha Yun Joo took the test out of curiosity and got accepted without planning on it."
  Her side continued, "I realized that she was smart when we hold conversations, but didn't know she was this brilliant. We'll do our best so that she could show her superior passion through her acting."
  Reporters got a hold of the star for a phone interview later that day. She said, "The fact that I'm accepted as a Mensa member, which only allows 2% of the world's brightest is very fascinating. I took the test in January and later received an acceptance letter. I've never took an IQ test and applied with my older sister. She wasn't able to take the test because of personal reasons and I just went ahead with the test."
  She further added, "Because this is my first time taking an IQ test, I just answered it without much thought. After looking at the IQ results, I thought, 'How great it is that even an actor can receive a score like this. I will do my best to work hard and improve as an actor. Please look forward to it.'"
  Ha Yun Joo is born in 1987 and made her debut in 2008 through MBC's drama "That Person Is Coming." She also appeared in dramas "Gloria," "Royal Family" and "I Need Romance" and have worked as 2PM's co-host for SBS's "Inkigayo."
  It's been revealed that her IQ is 156.
