On the 14th, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Appeals Department 8-2 (Chief Judge Choi Hae-il, Choi Jin-sook, and Kim Jung-gon) sentenced A to a fine of 7 million won at the appeal trial on charges of innocence. Earlier, the first trial court ordered A to serve one year in prison, two years of probation, and 120 hours of community service.
The court said "The crime in this case is a false complaint to publish and sell a book about the process from meeting to parting, and to avoid debt to the accused (Baek Yoon-sik), and the guilt is not light." As a result of the crime in this case, the accused was exposed to the risk of criminal punishment and appears to have suffered for a considerable period of time. I have not been forgiven by the accused until now." In addition, "However, the defendant showed an attitude of deeply reflecting on the crime from the lower court, so he took it into account."," he said, explaining the reason for the commutation.
Meanwhile, A published an autobiography containing his personal life at the time of dating Baek Yoon-sik in 2022, sparking controversy. Since then, Baek Yoon-sik has filed an application for an injunction against publication against A for violating the agreement and violating privacy. A was accused of falsely accusing Baek Yoon-sik of falsifying the agreement and submitting it as evidence to a civil trial during such a civil lawsuit.
