Rapper E Sens Investigated Over Alleged Forcible Molestation at Itaewon Nightclub

South Korean rapper E Sens is under investigation after being accused of forcibly molesting a woman at a nightclub in Itaewon, Seoul, prosecutors said. The 39-year-old musician is alleged to have targeted a woman in her 30s during an incident at the venue in August 2025.

According to the allegations, E Sens made repeated physical advances toward the woman despite her clearly rejecting them. Prosecutors say he attempted to kiss her and bit her neck, continuing the unwanted contact even after she asked him to stop.

The case is currently being reviewed as part of a broader investigation into the incident, with authorities examining the sequence of events at the club and gathering testimony related to the encounter. No formal indictment has been announced as the probe continues.

E Sens, whose career took shape as a member of the hip-hop crew Supreme Team before he built a solo profile that included a high-profile run on Mnet's rap competition 'Show Me the Money,' has not issued a public statement addressing the specific allegations at the time of writing.

The allegations add to a string of controversies involving figures in the Korean hip-hop and entertainment scene that have drawn public and media scrutiny over conduct at nightlife venues in Seoul's Itaewon district, an area long popular among both locals and the K-pop industry crowd.

Authorities have not disclosed a timeline for when the investigation might conclude or whether charges will be formally filed. Koreabw will continue to follow developments in the case as more details emerge.
