  • Singer Kim Junsu Victim of 800 Million Won Blackmail Scheme—BJ Appeals 7-Year Prison Sentence

    A woman, identified only as A, who extorted a whopping 800 million won from singer and musical actor Kim Junsu, has now appealed her seven-year prison sentence for blackmail.

    According to Newsis, A, a woman in her 30s, was sentenced on charges of blackmail under the Specific Economic Crimes Aggravated Punishment Act. She was given the harsh sentence by the Uijeongbu District Court, but on February 7th, she appealed the ruling.

    On February 6th, the court sentenced A to seven years behind bars, with the judge calling the crime "severe" and acknowledging the significant "economic and emotional damage" suffered by the victim. "The victim has petitioned for a harsh punishment," the court added.

    The court also revealed that A had used recordings of private conversations and photos to extort money from Kim Junsoo when their relationship began to fall apart. “The defendant admitted to everything, and all related evidence was found guilty,” the court said.

    Between September 2020 and October of the previous year, A blackmailed Kim Junsu 101 times, demanding money and goods under the threat of leaking intimate recordings and photos.

    Kim Junsu, who filed a complaint, explained that he had met A under the belief she was a nail artist, and he had been extorted for five years. His agency, Palm Tree Island, stressed that the star was targeted because of his celebrity status.

    "Kim Junsu is clearly the victim," the agency said, adding, "After discovering multiple victims of A's blackmail, he decided to take legal action to prevent further harm."
