Musical actor jailed for sexual assault

An actor has been sentenced to six months in prison for sexual assault.

Seoul Central District Court reportedly sentenced Kang Eun-il, 24, a rising musical star, to six months in prison Wednesday for kissing a woman and touching her body against her will in a restaurant restroom in Seoul in March.

The incident happened on the first day the two met through a mutual friend.

Kang immediately lodged an appeal.

His agency, Double K Film & Theatre, said he would bow out of the musical "Jungle Life" and cancel plans for two other upcoming shows.

"We feel strongly responsible for this incident," the agency said in a statement. "On behalf of Kang, we would like to apologize to all the actors and staff with whom he worked."

But the agency did not apologize to the woman.
