On the 19th, Judge Hong Eun-sook of the Incheon District Court sentenced former movie star A, who stole 50 million won from the late Lee Sun-kyun, to four years and two months in prison, and B, the head of an entertainment establishment who extorted 300 million won, to three and a half years in prison.
The court said "It seems that the victim (Lee Sun-kyun), a famous actor, suffered severe mental pain from the defendants' crimes. The accused's crime began and the victim ended his/her life on his/her own"The defendants' guilt is heavy and likely to be criticized. The defendants were unable to return the money they received from the victim,' citing the reason for the sentencing.
He added that "A generally acknowledged and reflected on the crime, and City B took into account the fact that he received blackmail from A and went on to commit the crime.'
Meanwhile, B told the late Lee Sun-kyun in September last year that his phone was hacked and threatened, and he needed money to cover it up", and ripped off 300 million won. According to a police investigation, the hacker who threatened B at the time was A. A was arrested on charges of extorting money by threatening the late Lee Sun-kyun and B, citing drug administration.
