A Norwich City player has been summoned for further police questioning amid claims he secretly filmed a sexual encounter with a woman and shared the footage.
Hwang Ui-jo, who is on loan at Norwich from Nottingham Forest, has been ordered to appear before police in South Korea by Friday to face fresh questions.
The 31-year-old striker denies all charges and has brought a counter-claim for defamation and blackmail against his accuser.
He claims the footage was filmed with the woman's consent and that he later lost the phone while playing in Greece for Olympiacos.
The woman, who claims to be a former partner of Hwang's, made allegations against him on social media in June.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Hwang failed to show up to the first summons by December 27.
A spokesman for the service told the Yonhap News Agency the forward had not yet responded to the latest summons, adding a third will be sent if he fails to attend by January 5.
The Canaries face Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup at Carrow Road on Saturday and it is not yet clear if Hwang will be available for the match.
A spokesman confirmed City are “fully aware of the situation" and that the club is working with Hwang, his representatives and authorities in South Korea to find a solution.
Hwang's representatives, CAA Base, have been contacted for comment.
The former Bordeaux forward has scored three goals in 18 appearances for City this season and started Monday's 1-1 home draw with Southampton.
Hwang has been capped 62 times by his country and was part of their squad at the 2022 World Cup.
He scored his 19th international goal in a 5-0 home win over Singapore in November and came on as a substitute in a game in China five days later having faced questions from cybercrime officers.
However, the Korean Football Association has since said he will not be selected until the inquiry has concluded.
