sentenced to 13 years in prison for rape and mass sexual intercourse. He will be deported after his sentence expires. (Online pictures)” rel=”preload”/>Kim Soo-hyun was exposed to dating the late actress Kim Sae-ron for 6 years. In the early days of dating, the girl was only 15 years old. Although she was forced to the end, he recognized her love through the agency, but emphasized that she had only been dating for about one year, and Kim Sae-ron was already an adult at that time. This belated recognition of love still failed to reverse public opinion, which had affected her image and caused advertisers to cut off her. There are also examples in the entertainment industry where they have involved dating with minors or even sexual crimes that affect their future.
Chinese actor Kris Wu, who was born in the Korean group, was arrested by Beijing police in 2021 for being involved in the seduction of “selecting concubines at the wine table”, including underage women. The first instance court sentenced him to rape and the crime of sexual misconduct, and sentenced him to 13 years in prison and was deported after his sentence. Wu Yifan appealed the verdict, and the second-instance court upheld the original judgment, and the case entered the final trial procedure. He is currently serving his sentence in prison and the official has not announced the specific place of his sentence. The case led to a rectification of the Chinese entertainment industry, and related brands quickly cut off from him, and his music and film and television works were also completely removed from the shelves.
Lai Ziteng once participated in the talent show “Atomic Boy”. He was sentenced to four years in prison for having sex with a child under the age of 14 and was restricted from leaving the country for five years for having sex with a 12-year-old girl. After he appealed, the second-instance court rejected it and upheld the original judgment. In addition, during the trial, the court found that Lai Ziteng had used dating software to engage in indecent acts with another underage girl, arguing that he was not aware of the other party’s age and was not accepted. After the case was exposed, his social account was closed and the agency did not issue any relevant statements.
Aaron Yan had dated his 16-year-old boyfriend Yaole. He admitted that he used his mobile phone to make sex videos for the two. He was prosecuted in accordance with the “Regulations on Preventing Sexual Exploitation of Children” and the “Personal Investment Law” for filming and possessing private images of minors. The court sentenced one of the crimes to 4 months in prison and no fine for Yike. The other two crimes were sentenced to 7 months in combination and were fined for Yike. Both were suspended for 3 years and were subject to protection and restraint during the period. The court considered that Aaron Yan and the victim Yaole had reached a settlement, so it ruled to suspend his sentence. At present, Aaron Yan’s work is gradually returning to normal, and he also holds meetings overseas and attends brand events.
