On the 20th, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Song (in his 30s) to two years in prison and four years of probation, and Kim (in his 20s) to one and a half years in prison and four years of probation, respectively. The court ordered the two to ban contact and access with Tzuyang and imposed probation and community service together.
The court pointed out that `the crime is poor because the period of crime is long and the amount of extortion is large,' and"In particular, Song is likely to be criticized for committing racketeering even after writing the agreement.' However, he explained that the two admitted to the crime and agreed with the victim, and that the victim also gave a suspended sentence in consideration of the fact that he did not want punishment.
The defendants were charged with extorting a total of 216 million won from June 2021 to November 2022. Later, it was reported that 256 million won was reimbursed, including an additional 40 million won during the settlement process. It turned out that Tzuyang's ex-lover and former agency CEO Lee were involved in the process.
Earlier in July last year, Tzuyang said in a YouTube video that `the former CEO of the agency asked me to cover his mouth with my own money because he was threatened by two women he knew in the past\' and `I had no choice but to pay 216 million won for two years.'", he confessed to the damage himself.
