South Korean K-pop star, Yoochun, will be cleared of all accusations he had raped four women, police said Monday, in a preliminary conclusion of their investigation into a high-profile sex scandal that has rocked the country's entertainment community.

An official announcement has yet to be made, but the police station in Seoul's Gangnam district said they could not find any "forcibleness" in sexual relations between Yoochun and the women involved.

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

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. The first woman dropped her suit but she has been investigated to see if she blackmailed Yoochun of his money.
