South Korea's disgraced K-pop star, Yoochun, who has been sued for a series of bathroom raping, will be questioned Thursday over his high-profile sex scandal, police said.

Police said an interrogation would begin when the singer-actor appears at a police station in Seoul's Gangnam district at 6:30 pm (0930 GMT).
An investigation began soon after the first suit was filed this month, but Yoochun has yet to be questioned.

The scandal has sparked rampant speculation since it surfaced on June 14, becoming the hottest talk of the town. So far four women have sued Yoochun who started his mandatory military service last August as a public service worker in Seoul's affluent Gangnam district.

Yoochun's management agency, C-JeS Entertainment, has insisted all the suits were based on groundless allegations but said Yoochun would leave the entertainment community if he is found to be guilty in any case.

The singer-actor has filed a libel suit against the first woman who sued Yoochun of raping her in the bathroom of a private membership bar in Seoul's Gangnam district. She dropped her suit later, but three other women filed separate rape suits against him.
