Actress Clara is free of the claim that she threatened chairman Lee Gyu-tae from Ilgwang Group.

According to the news, the Seoul Central Court pressed charges on the chairman for intimidating Clara and HR manager Kim as if he was going to physically inflict harm on them.

According to investigators, Clara and the chairman had conflicts and they met along with Clara's father to talk during August last year.

The chairman had said, "I'm angry at you, but if you side with Kim then all the anger will be all on you. It's scary, but I might slit your throats and disable you. Didn't you know that?"

The conflict between the two started with Clara's conflict. Clara belonged to company 'G' for another month when she signed another contract with M for 10~20 million won a month.

Clara cleared things with G due to internal matters with M but she still had time left on the contract with G. In return for paying off her penalties, she signed a contract with Polaris in June last year.

However, they had problems with the contract. Clara claimed it was just a contract with the agency but Polaris claimed it was exclusive.

The chairman also wasn't happy with how Clara got along with the manager who she'd been with since the previous agency.

When he would talk to Clara about the contract, he would say to her, "I studied the law and I was at the Central Intelligence Agency. You can't try to fight me. I can end you".

Clara presented recorded files of her conversation with the chairman during the process as evidence.

Clara asked for a cancellation of contract since she was going through some complications but the chairman refused. She even claimed she would go to the police if he didn't cancel her contract.

Clara also revealed that the chairman had sexually harassed her in the process. The chairman claimed that she brought that up so that wouldn't have to pay off her penalties and countersued Clara and her father.

However, based on the mobile texts or recordings of their conversation, it proves that Clara's claim of harassment is exaggerated in every way.

The chairman had sent her text messages while drinking wine saying, "I thought about you" and had even said, "I have the right to know your menstrual cycle as well".
