A woman, who blackmailed JYJ Park Yoo Chun for money after picking up his ex-girlfriend’s cellphone, has been arrested by the police.

On March 12, C-JeS Entertainment released an official statement on the issue saying, “Picking up an lost item and using it without permission is already a crime in itself, so we requested an investigation.”

“The amount that Kim demanded was a large amount of 100 million won, so she was immediately put under arrest and the cast was sent to the prosecution.”

C-JeS continued, “Kim had found a lost cellphone last month (February) and looked through personal information freely when she found Park Yoo Chun related items inside. With that information, she demanded 100 million won or she would sell it to press or release it online.”

“The cellphone in question didn’t even belong to Park Yoo Chun, and therefore he has nothing to do with this case. He is currently focusing on his filming and does not even know the exact details of this issue,” said C-JeS, mentioning that the cellphone photos and texts were nothing to hide. “The reason for this statement is to cooperate in the case where a suspect was trying to violate a person’s privacy, so please refrain from reporting exaggerated reports.”

C-JeS added, “In the case an article with false reports with no evidence that violates private life, to protect our company’s artist, we will press charges, so please cooperate with us.”

A woman taken into custody after blackmailing JYJ’s Yoochun with the contents of a phone she allegedly found





It’s been reported that a woman, who has been blackmailing JYJ‘s Yoochun, has been taken into custody.

Earlier today, a report had surfaced stating a male idol-turned-actor had been receiving threats from a woman in her thirties, ‘A’. ‘A’ happened to pick up a phone that turned out to belong to this idol-turned-actor’s former girlfriend. In the phone, there were texts as well as photos of the two.

With the phone in hand, she had requested the idol/actor hand over 50 milliion KRW (~47,000 USD). The idol/actor and agency offered her 1 million KRW (~940 USD) instead as a compensation fee for finding the phone. However ‘A’ refused the offer and later demanded 100 million KRW (~94,000 USD).

Unable to withstand the blackmail, the idol-turned-actor reported ‘A” to the police, and the police arrested her at a cafe in Gangnam recently.

After this report surfaced, more reports came out to reveal that this idol-turned-actor is JYJ’s Yoochun. The Seoul Gangnam Police stated, “We have arrested ‘A’, who had been threatening to spread the texts and photos on the internet if Park Yoochun, his manager, and agency did not hand over 100 million KRW.”

C-JeS also released a statement to clear up the situation, of which a portion of it read, “Ms. Park extracted personal information from a cell phone that she acquired, and when she spotted Yoochun in the phone, she had demanded 100 million KRW to not spread the info in the phone to a media outlet or online… As there is nothing to hide and her crime is severe, we requested an investigation. As Ms. Park had demanded a large sum of money, she was arrested and the case has been already transferred to the prosecution.”

Note: other Korean news outlets have reported the perpetrator’s identity as ‘Ms. Kim’, not ‘Ms. Park’.
