KWON MANAGER JAILED
The manager of South Korean movie star KWON SANG-WOO has been jailed for blackmailing the actor.
The defendant - a former gangster identified by his family name Paek - was found guilty of threatening Kwon with disclosures about his private life in an attempt to secure a lucrative business contract and was jailed for eight months yesterday (16May07).
It is the second case involving Kwon - in February (07) prosecutors indicted Kim Tae-Chon, a gang leader already serving a prison term for bribery, for trying to force Kwon to attend a fans’ meeting in Japan organised by Kim’s friend.
