Junsu Kim, a singer and musical actor from the K-pop group TVXQ, has publicly addressed a serious incident involving extortion exceeding 800 million Korean won by an African TV female BJ.
Kim's agency, Palm Tree Island, expressed their official stance regarding the reports of the alleged threats. They revealed that the individual, referred to as A, recorded conversations with malicious intent and has continuously threatened to disseminate these recordings on social media, exploiting Kim's celebrity status and causing significant distress.
The agency emphasized that Kim is a clear victim in this scenario and confirmed that he is not alone in his suffering, as A's actions have potentially harmed multiple individuals. They have decided to pursue legal action to prevent further victimization, noting that the case is currently in the warrant trial stage, which limits their ability to provide more detailed information at this time.
In light of these troubling events, the agency hopes to raise awareness of the severity and malicious nature of extortion and threats in society. They reaffirm that Kim Junsu has not committed any illegal actions in connection with this case and remains a clear victim of these incidents.
Recently, the Northern Gyeonggi Police Department has submitted a warrant for the arrest of the individual involved, alleging extortion under the specific economic crime punishment law.
The police assert that A has threatened Kim multiple times from September 2020 to last month, reportedly extorting about 840 million won. This individual allegedly began her harassment after they met in 2019, leading to recorded conversations that turned into threats of public disclosure via social media to extort money from him.
Authorities believe that A’s actions were intended to fund drug-related expenses, and she is currently under trial for drug offenses in addition to the extortion charges she faces. This situation underscores the importance of addressing criminal behavior and protecting individuals from unjust threats and coercion.
