A broadcast jockey (BJ) woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison for extorting 840 million KRW from singer and actor Kim Junsu. The Seoul High Court upheld the sentence, citing the serious nature of the crime that caused stress and depression to the victim. BJ A, active on 'SOOP' video platform, blackmailed Kim Junsu using recorded conversations for over four years.

During the trial, BJ A's legal team argued addiction to propofol impaired her judgment, leading to desperate actions for drug money. A claimed some funds were used for her father's prostate cancer treatment. Despite submitting letters of apology and pleading for leniency, she was sentenced to seven years in prison initially and again in the second trial.

BJ A expressed remorse in court, acknowledging causing harm due to addiction and mental health struggles. She vowed to rebuild her life, gain a caregiver's certificate, and contribute to society in repentance. Kim Junsu, responding to the case, considered it his own mistake and vowed to avoid similar situations. His agency revealed details of the extortion, where BJ A threatened to damage his image online.
