By Dong Sun-hwa

The ex-girlfriend of 15-year-old rapper D. Ark claimed Saturday he forced her to have sex with him ― but later said her claim was based on a misunderstanding.

“I was your fan, and you gave me your number and address,” wrote the former girlfriend, 20, on Instagram. “You wanted to a have sexual relationship with me without using a contraceptive device ― that's rape.”

She added, “You are just like other rappers who are known to have dumped women after one-night stands.”

But after her post went viral online, the woman changed her story.

“We apologized to each other and cleared up our misunderstanding,” she wrote.

D. Ark also posted a hand-written apology on Instagram on the same day. His post reads: “I was wrong to disregard her feelings and cause misapprehension. We resolved our misunderstanding through conversations, and I would like to make another sincere apology here.”

Both said they would take legal action against people who continued to spread unconfirmed rumors or who violated human rights.
