Regarding singer and musical actor Kim Junsu being threatened by a female BJ from Afreeca TV (now SOOP) and being extorted of 800 million won worth of money, SBS’ Curious Story Y began reporting on this BJ.
On the 16th, SBS’s current affairs culture program ‘Curious Story Y’ posted on its official SNS, “We are currently covering a story about a BJ who has recently been accused of demanding money from famous celebrities and many men by threatening to spread recording files.” “We await reports from anyone who knows or has been harmed by the BJ in question,” the announcement said.
This BJ is the person who threatened Kim Junsu.
Kim Junsu’s damage became known on the 15th. On this day, a female African TV BJ (internet broadcast host) who threatened Kim Junsu and stole money worth 800 million won was sent to the prosecution under arrest. The Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency’s criminal task force announced that it arrested and transferred Mr. A on the same day on charges of blackmail under the Aggravated Punishment Act for Specific Economic Crimes.
Mr. A is accused of threatening Kim Junsu and stealing money and valuables worth 840 million won on 101 occasions from September 2020 to last month. It is reported that Mr. A recorded the conversation with Kim Junsu for illegal purposes and threatened to distribute it on social media. It is known that Mr. A committed this crime for the purpose of raising money for drug administration.
After the report came out, Kim Junsu said on a fan communication platform, “I’m sorry for suddenly surprising you with an article like this,” and “But they harassed me for five years, so I couldn’t take it anymore. “So I made up my mind and came to the conclusion that the nature of the crime was too serious, so I was eventually arrested and am currently in the process of reviewing the adequacy of my arrest.”
He continued, “I should have done it sooner, but I know very well that even articles like this are not good for us. But I am confident. I didn’t do anything wrong, it was 5 years ago, and I didn’t meet people after that because I thought it was my mistake. “I promised myself not to meet anyone other than business,” he said. “I want to make sure you only get good news, but I’m sorry I can’t do that.” They said there were more than 6 other victims besides me. “I couldn’t bear to hear that,” he said, revealing that there were multiple victims.
However, later, when the public’s attention focused only on why he was threatened, Kim Junsu’s agency, Palm Tree Island, issued a statement again, saying, “Kim Junsu is a clear victim in this incident, and we once again make it clear that he has not done anything wrong.” He emphasized, “It is only a private conversation and does not contain any inappropriate or misleading content, and Mr. A recorded private conversations between individuals for illegal purposes as a means of intimidation.”
At the same time, “As Kim Junsu had worried, the essence of the incident has been distorted and he has already become embroiled in unfair rumors. “Kim Junsu and our company cannot hide our devastated feelings about this, and we strongly request that unfair criticism and secondary harassment against Kim Junsu, who is the clear victim of this incident, stop,” he added.
