A wrongful termination lawsuit filed against the World Kuk Sool Association (WKSA) has brought to light allegations of sexual misconduct and assault within the martial arts organization. The lawsuit, filed by Soon Jin Su, the oldest son of WKSA founder In Hyuk Sun, claims wrongful termination, breach of contract, and other employment-related issues. The suit also includes accounts from former students and employees alleging sexual harassment and assault by members of the Suh family, who now lead the association.

"My client is suing the World Kuk Sool Association for wrongful termination, breach of contract and some other claims related to employment," explained Alex Paul, Su's attorney. "My client had been promised, actually for decades, that he would be the next leader of the association." One of those people, Denise Brown, spoke publicly for the first time to ABC13. She started as a student at the Kook Suk Won school in Magnolia and eventually worked for the Suh Family, she said. A police report that she filed 16 years ago, alleging that Alex Suh sexually assaulted her when she worked as a babysitter, is now part of the lawsuit against WKSA. Magnolia police investigated. When interviewed by police, Suh denied the allegations to investigators. No charges were ever brought.
"No grown man should ever have a little girl kiss him on the lips or anything of those sorts and that's what he did to me," Sanchez said. Last year, the U.S. Attorney's Office and Homeland Security Investigations sounded the alarm about Franklin Joseph Perkins, a former instructor at the Kuk Sool Won school in Alvin. He was arrested on child pornography charges. Perkins has pleaded not guilty. The association said he was suspended after the arrest and that the charges have nothing to do with the now-closed school.
