Kim Yo-han's agency, General Entertainment, said on the 18th that "Hong was arrested in court after being convicted of one year in prison by the Criminal Tribunal of the Seoul Central District Court." In June 2023 and January 2024, Hong was also indicted and convicted of racketeering, intimidation, and violation (defamation) of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection for raising groundless illegal gambling and privacy controversies and disseminating them online. As a result, Kim Yo-han got out of commentary and broadcasting" he said.
Hong, who was convicted, began another retaliatory threat in June 2024 out of spite of Kim Yo-han and was sentenced to one year in prison on the 30th of last month after being charged with violating the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes (Revenge Threat, etc.)`"Separately, Kim Yo-han was found to have won the civil suit filed against Hong for defamation by spreading false information and was cleared of all false accusations.'
In addition, "We apologize for causing concern to our fans and people concerned about this incident." It took a long time for the truth to be revealed, but I would like to thank those who supported Kim Yo-han, who has suffered severe mental pain.
