Recently, K-pop star Kim JunSu has attracted attention by announcing legal action against malicious comments and the spread of false information surrounding him. Kim JunSu revealed a strong stance against these malicious commenters after suffering financial damage of 800 million KRW from a woman who was a former AfreecaTV BJ.
On the 19th, Kim JunSu’s agency, Palm Tree Island, issued an official statement saying, “We are taking acts of defamation against the artist very seriously,” and announced that they have hired the law firm Kim & Chang to initiate legal proceedings. They also emphasized that “civil and criminal actions will be taken without any settlements regarding defamatory posts and baseless rumors.”
The agency stated that they have already secured sufficient evidence and are continuously collecting additional materials. All of these materials have been submitted to the law firm, and they added that they will respond strongly without any leniency or settlements against those who continue malicious acts by abusing anonymity.
In connection with this, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Northern Gyeonggi Police Department has announced the arrest and indictment of a female AfreecaTV BJ, identified as A, on charges of extortion under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes. Victim Kim JunSu was extorted approximately 800 million KRW in about 100 instances over five years by A, who is known to have threatened him with recordings of their private conversations.
This case has also fueled suspicions against Kim JunSu due to rumors related to the woman’s drug purchases. However, Kim JunSu and his agency quickly reiterated that he is a “clear victim” and reaffirmed that he was not involved in any illegal acts.
Despite these circumstances, Kim JunSu is set to appear as Aladdin in the musical ‘Aladdin.’ Many fans are focused on how his legal response will unfold and what kind of performance he will showcase on the musical stage.
