'PD Notebook' has revealed the truth behind blackmail by Goo Hara's ex Choi Jong-bum.
On an episode that aired on the 23rd, an acquaintance that lived with Goo Hara met with the production team and revealed that Goo Hara's ex-boyfriend had threatened Goo Hara with the sex tapes.
The informant A revealed phone recordings between Goo Hara and Choi Jong Bum where Choi is heard threatening Goo Hara saying, "I have sex photos and videos." The acquaintance A is heard dissuading him saying, "If you send them to anyone then that's blackmail." Choi Jong Bum then shamelessly states, "Let it be blackmail then" and sends two sex videos to Goo Hara as proof.
Goo Hara's lawyer stated, "Choi Jong Bum contacted Dispatch and promised to share the videos for money saying that "he was going to end her celebrity life. However, the court sentenced Choi Jong-bum to 1.5 years in prison and three years probation because he was a first-time offender and because he had "reflected" on his actions."
In addition, 'PD Note' also uncovered details behind actor Kang Ji Hwan who was arrested for sexually harassing and assaulting two co-workers in 2019 and sentenced to 2.5 years in prison and three years probation. The judge stated that "he gave Kang Ji Hwan a lower sentence because he regretted and had reflected on his actions and reached an agreement with the victims."
However, the victims' lawyer stated, "Kang Ji-hwan's family threatened the victims that they would find out the address, telephone number, etc. through the employees at their agency if they didn't agree to settle."
