Singer Kim Joon-soo appealed for secondary damage after it was revealed that he was threatened by a female BJ and extorted 800 million won.
The agency Palm Tree Island said on the 19th, "We are taking all defamatory acts, such as malicious slander, false information dissemination, and personal attacks against artists (Kim Jun-su), very seriously."
Accordingly, Kim & Chang, a law firm, was appointed to take legal action. Until now, legal procedures have been carried out with evidence collected mainly by various online communities, and additional data are being collected.
The agency warned, "The spread of malicious slander, defamation posts, and groundless rumors is a clear criminal act," adding, "We will take strong civil and criminal measures without consultation or tolerance."
On the 15th, the police sent a female BJ A, who is suspected of extorting money by threatening Kim Joon-soo from September 2020 to last month, to the prosecution.
A illegally recorded a conversation with Kim Jun-su and threatened to distribute it on social media, and in the process, Kim Jun-su's damage was reported to be around 800 million won in total.
