Kim Joon-soo, a singer and musical actor, expressed his position on being extorted by a female BJ of Africa TV for 800 million won.
Kim Jun-su's agency, Palm Tree Island, issued an official statement today (15th) and emphasized, "Kim Jun-su has been suffering from constant threats from A, and is a clear victim of this incident."
According to the agency, A, who worked as a BJ, illegally recorded a conversation with Kim Jun-su and threatened to distribute it on social media and demanded money. A abused Kim Jun-su's celebrity status, saying, "I know Kim Jun-su is not at fault, but celebrities lose their image even if an article is published that is not true."
In particular, A also mentioned that Kim Joon-soo is not appearing on the show and threatened, "If the image is tarnished, it will not be able to recover again."
Kim Joon-soo suffered severe mental pain due to A's threats, but decided to take legal action to prevent further damage. The agency said, "Kim Jun-su has confirmed that there are a number of victims not only of himself but also of A's blackmail threats. We will respond strongly to prevent further damage," he said.
Additionally, the agency made it clear that Kim Jun-su did not commit any illegal activities in connection with the incident. He added, "Kim Jun-su is an obvious victim, and I hope this incident will raise awareness of how serious the wrongful intimidation and blackmail are."
Meanwhile, A has been indicted on drug-related charges, and it is known that he threatened Kim Joon-soo to extort money to pay for drug administration. Kim Joon-soo's side will announce additional positions as soon as the investigation and trial are completed.
