SEOUL - The ex-boyfriend of late K-pop star Goo Hara was jailed by an appeal court Thursday for blackmailing her over sex videos that played a part in her apparent suicide.
The man, hairdresser Choi Jong-bum, was last year convicted of multiple crimes including blackmail and inflicting injuries, and was given a suspended jail term. His blackmail over the footage had"seriously damaged" the late star's reputation, it said, and had left her with"irreversible trauma". Goo focused on her solo career after Kara broke up in 2018 and completed a tour of Japan with her latest release shortly before her death in November.
