[theqoo] [BREAKING] WOMAN SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THREATENING SON HEUNGMIN WITH PREGNANCY

A group that claimed they were pregnant with the child of national football team player Son Heungmin (33, Los Angeles FC) and extorted 300 million won (204K USD) has been sentenced to prison in the first trial.

The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 20 Single Judge (Judge Lim Jeong-bin) on the 8th sentenced Yang (28, female) and Yong (40, male), who were indicted on charges including blackmail, to four years and two years in prison, respectively.

[…]

They were accused of demanding money from Son last June by threatening to expose him, claiming she was “pregnant with his child” and sending fetal ultrasound photos.

Yang received 300 million won from Son’s side and even signed a confidentiality agreement that set damages at 3 billion won (2M USD). However, together with her romantic partner Yong, she attempted to extort an additional 70 million won (47K USD) between March and May of this year by threatening to reveal the alleged pregnancy and abortion to the media and Son’s family.

According to the prosecution’s investigation, Yang initially attempted to demand money from another man by informing him of her pregnancy, but when he did not respond, she abandoned the attempt. She then claimed to Son’s side that she was pregnant with his child and demanded money. Son’s side, fearing damage to his public reputation and athletic career, gave her 300 million won, which she took.

Yang squandered all the money on luxury goods and fell into financial hardship. It was then found that, with the help of her romantic partner Yong, she attempted once again to extort money from Son.

1. I can't believe you can get 4 years in prison for only threats? I'm honestly impressed

2. What the? I know she's in the wrong, but was it really this serious? 

3. Is this really considered "Breaking" news? There are so much more important news around 

4. Of course you should receive punishment as the assailant but I hope that other more pressing crimes receive a sentence just as bad and quicker too 

5. Wow this is worse than what Jo Jinwoong had... 

6. But Son Heungmin wasn't the only victim, she's done that to another man first, then Son Heungmin was the 2nd one, and she was moving to scam a third man too 

7. 4 years???

8. 4 Years for this... I really don't understand the way this country applies their sentence to the crime

9. I'm confused, why are people only sympathetic towards women even when they're clearly the criminal here?

10. But even the person who threatened Tzuyang received 3 years in prison, so why is 4 years shocking?
