They have since been apprehended by the police and prosecuted. On July 3, Criminal Division 3 of the Soul Eastern District Court revealed that the two individuals Mr. Park and Mr. Kim are facing charges of violation of the Information and Communication Network Act.
Additionally, the court’s chief judge Lee Ho Dong has sentenced them to hefty fines of 3 million KRW each. The revelations also provided some insights into their heinous crimes and the way they lured the K-pop idols into sharing personal information.
According to reports, Mr. Park and Mr. Kim organized broadcasts through a voice chat platform. The two would generally gather at Kim’s house and then contact the SM Entertainment idols.
They would disguise themselves as delivery drivers and ask questions like, “The package has been received, but the house number is not here”, or “The package just has the product name, no address, are you sure you ordered this?”
Reportedly, one EXO and three NCT members have fallen victim to this wicked duo.
