The court sentenced a group of people who tried to extort money for being pregnant with Son Heung-min (33, LA FC)'s child.

Judge Lim Jung-bin of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Yang, a woman in her 20s, to four years in prison on charges of racketeering and attempted blackmail at a sentencing hearing held on the 8th. Yong, a man in his 40s who was also charged with attempted blackmail, was sentenced to two years in prison. In a final trial on the 27th of last month, the prosecution demanded five years in prison for Mr. Yang and two years in prison for Mr. Yong, respectively.

According to Yonhap News, the court did not confirm whose child Yang was after learning that he was pregnant. Yang said he thought the fetus was Son Heung-min's child, but the statement is inconsistent, making it difficult to accept" he said.




And Yang lied, saying that he had Son Heung-min's child, "He tried to threaten Son Heung-min by trying to take extreme actions to inform the outside world that he was pregnant."I judged.

Regarding Yong, he also took advantage of the fact that Son Heung-min was a celebrity, not just threatening or asking for money, but he took action by informing the media and advertisers (about his pregnancy and abortion). It seems that the victim suffered considerable mental distress as this incident was known."

The court also pointed out that "the victim is a celebrity and is vulnerable to crime, and the defendants receive a large amount of money under the pretext of this, so they try to receive additional money even after receiving 300 million won, and as a result, the victim suffered considerable mental distress.'




Yang sent Son Heung-min a fetal ultrasound picture in June last year, threatening to reveal that he was pregnant with a child, extorting 300 million won. In addition, he threatened to expose his pregnancy and abortion to the media and Son Heung-min's family between March and May this year, but he failed to extort an additional 70 million won. Yang and Yong were put on trial in June under arrest.

Yang initially tried to demand money and valuables by informing a man other than Son Heung-min that he was pregnant. However, when there was no response, it was investigated that he asked Son Heung-min for money and valuables in the second round.

Son Heung-min, who returned home during the A match last month, also appeared as a witness. The court reportedly held the hearing behind closed doors and asked Son Heung-min about the situation related to Yang's racketeering crime. It is known that the two did not face each other during the witness interrogation process.
