[article] Student Jailed for Blackmailing BoA

[FoObY]

A college student in South Korea has been sentenced to 6 months in prison after he was caught blackmailing BoA and SM Entertainment over BoA's private pictures and email exchange with Danny Ahn, a member of now-disbanded boyband g.o.d.

According to NoCut News, the pictures and emails in question come from BoA's personal webpage, which was hacked by the blackmailer.

He reportedly demanded 35 million Korean won (approximately US$38,000) initially, but even after SM Entertainment paid the asked amount he demanded further 65 million won, at which point SM Entertainment reported the case to the police.

In a press release, SM Entertainment claimed that the blackmailer threatened to spread the pictures around the internet with false stories behind it, which would have gravely damaged BoA's image.

Yikes.. BoA wouldn't be able to afford having her image damaged. But then again, it would damage any artist's image.

Hackers - man, I must admit I slightly admire the way they're able to do that stuff.

haha, yeah, I kinda agree with you!

[Psychotic_X]

aiya.. they were better off keeping the whole thing under wraps..
now there's gonna be rumours like crazy about these pictures...
things like "why's BoA hiding these pictures?" "was there something going on about BoA and Danny?"

[AyuGAME]

[[taskin.ayu]]

LOLWOW. XDDDD I wonder what he got and how he got it? O_o

Interesting though, thanks!

the can't be that bad right?
i mean, it's not as if they have pictures of her nakie!

..did they? :S

[xiaou-xijiang]

^ don't ask. don't tell.

he should have stopped at 35 million Korean won. He got greedy and got caught. He was lucky they didn't call the police in the first place. XD

Anyway, it serves him right! For trying to blackmail poor BoA.

Imo they should've called in the first place. Blackmailers are known for being greedy and asking for money repeatedly.

[xiaou-xijiang]

^you're right. If they let the boy realize he could get what he wanted the first time, why did they think he would stop?
Its like that child's story:
If You give the Moose a Cookie...
he'll ask for a glass of milk.

[chocopockymaster]

If you give a MOUSE a cookie!

If you give a moose a muffin.

If you give a pig a pancake.

[ohsixthirty]

Haha exactly

[xiaou-xijiang]

^
it actually makes them seem even more guilty about photos that appear in the article to be perfectly innocent because they paid for him. So either way her image is under suspicion.

[Impracticable]

Yah. If they call the police the images are going to be known. What morons.

I remember hearing about it later. I don't think I was old enough to really care at the time. XD

[Mirai Noah]
