Prosecutors requested 7 years in prison.

At the decision trial held on the 15th at the Criminal Division 11 of the Uijeongbu District Court (Chief Judge Oh Chang-seop), the prosecution held Afreeca, who was indicted on charges of extortion under the Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes Act.

They asked the court to sentence A, a woman in her 30s, to seven years in prison.

Mr. A’s lawyer said, “The defendant has acknowledged his mistakes from the beginning of the investigation and is reflecting on them. He was unable to make rational judgments due to the use of drugs such as philopon, and he made foolish decisions to raise money for drugs.” He added, “It was a deliberate attempt to blackmail from the beginning.” He appealed for leniency, saying, “Please take into account the fact that he committed the crime after maintaining a friendly relationship with the victim but the relationship became neglected, and that he is apologizing to the victim.”

In his final statement, Mr. A said, “I felt like my life was over after driving a nail into my parents’ hearts due to an unpleasant incident, but my heart aches a lot when I see my family visiting me every day. I made the wrong decision due to my ignorance, and I am ashamed of myself.” He said.

Mr. A’s sentencing will be held in the same court on February 6th.

Mr. A is accused of stealing about 800 million won by threatening Mr. Kim from September 2020 to October last year.

Mr. A recorded the conversation with Mr. Kim and uploaded it to the social network service (

SNS

) was found to have threatened to spread the word to

Previously, Kim Junsu’s agency, Palm Tree Island, issued a statement saying, “Mr. A recorded the conversation with Kim Junsu for illegal purposes and then recorded it.”

“I threatened to spread it on TV,” he said. “I know it’s not Kim Junsu’s fault, but as a celebrity, if even one article that isn’t true comes out, his image will be tarnished, and since Kim Junsu can’t even appear on broadcasts, he won’t be able to recover his image. However, he continued to make threats, starting with the statement that he had nothing to lose.”
