It was recently revealed that JYJ‘s Kim Junsu had been a victim of extortion. An Afreeca streamer allegedly extorted over ₩800 million KRW (approximately $569,000 USD) across 101 instances between September 2020 and October 2024 from Kim Junsu.
Kim Junsu Blackmailed By Female Streamer Who Secretly Recorded Intimate Audio Files
Investigations revealed that after meeting Kim Junsu in 2019, the streamer threatened to release audio recordings of conversations involving sexual content, demanding money in exchange for not making them public.
Junsu addressed the issue through messages with fans where he claimed to be a victim.
That’s why I made up my mind. They were eventually arrested after the police concluded that the crime was serious, and they are currently undergoing a detention review.
Yes, I should have done it sooner, but I knew articles about this weren’t going to be good for us. But I do wonder if the news title they chose was their best option.
“But I am confident. I have done nothing wrong and this is about something from five years ago. Since then, I thought that even something like this was my fault and didn’t meet anyone.
Since we can only know the intention of someone after it’s been exposed…so it’s been five years since I promised myself that I wouldn’t meet anyone unless it was for business…
— Junsu
Although he addressed the matter with confidence, the public remains unconvinced. They wondered what he did for him to pay out such a huge sum to her over an extended period of time.
- Honestly I can’t understand how he paid ₩800 million KRW (approximately $569,000 USD) to her over five years just due to some audio files of them having sex.
- But if he did nothing wrong, why did he give her ₩800 million KRW (approximately $569,000 USD)? I’m truly curious!
- I don’t know him well because I’m uninterested, but he does seem like quite the floozy in various ways.
- Ha.
- Did he only report it after sending her money last month, because she got caught for doing drugs?
- It’s not even a video, but just an audio file, so I wonder what he did for him to give her ₩800 million KRW (approximately $569,000 USD).
- ₩800 million KRW (approximately $569,000 USD) is pretty huge, but for him to pay her 101 times…
Apart from the public, fans have expressed their support to him for the matter, hoping that it gets resolved soon.
