Arrest Warrant Issued for Woman Accused of Extorting 800 Million Won from Kim Junsu

Arrest Warrant Issued for Afreeca TV Streamer in Blackmail Case Involving Kim Junsu

On November 15, the Munhwa Ilbo reported that the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency is pursuing legal action against a popular Afreeca TV broadcaster, referred to as BJ A. An arrest warrant was requested on November 13, with authorities alleging that A engaged in blackmail under the Aggravated Punishment Act for Specific Economic Crimes.

Details of the Allegations

BJ A stands accused of extorting approximately 840 million won (around $630,000 USD) from renowned singer and former TVXQ member Kim Junsu. This alleged extortion centers on more than 101 incidents that transpired between September 2020 and October 2023.

The Mechanism of Blackmail

According to the ongoing investigation, BJ A allegedly utilized recorded conversations and intimate encounters with Kim Junsu as leverage in her extortion scheme. She reportedly threatened to release this sensitive material unless her demands were met, which contributed to the total amount extorted over the specified period.

Additional Legal Challenges

In addition to the current blackmail accusations, BJ A is facing trial regarding a separate narcotics-related case and is reportedly involved in yet another investigation for an unrelated incident. This series of legal troubles has put significant scrutiny on her actions and reputation.

Kim Junsu’s Current Endeavors

Kim Junsu is not only navigating this challenging situation but is also actively pursuing his career in the entertainment industry. Having previously left TVXQ with fellow member Kim Jaejoong to establish the group JYJ, he recently performed in a joint concert with Jaejoong. Furthermore, he is set to grace the stage in the upcoming musical adaptation of “Aladdin,” which premieres on November 22, 2023.
