,
, ‘ The Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office’s Department of Criminal Affairs 2 (Chief Prosecutor Jung Hyun-seung) announced on the 23rd that they had requested pre-trial detention warrants for Guje Yeok and Jujak Gambalsa on charges of blackmail, threats, and coercion.’,
,
, ‘ Guje Yeok and Jujak Gambalsa are accused of receiving 55 million won from Tsuyang on the condition of not revealing the past between Tsuyang and her former boyfriend last February.’,
,
, ‘ The prosecution’s request for pre-trial detention warrants came after 5 days of conducting search and seizure including forcing investigations at the residence of Guje Yeok and others on the 18th.’,
,
, ‘ The day before, the prosecution summoned Guje Yeok and Jujak Gambalsa for questioning.’,
,
, ‘ However, Guje Yeok denied the charges, saying, “It was Tsuyang’s side that first asked for risk management services, and I had no choice but to accept the contract.” ‘,
,
, ‘ In response, Tsuyang uploaded a video and evidence such as emails on her YouTube channel, stating, “I will expose the blackmail video” and refuting Guje Yeok’s claims.’,
,
, ‘ Earlier, YouTube channel Garosero Research claimed on the 10th that Tsuyang was threatened by Guje Yeok, Jujak Gambalsa, and other YouTubers under the pretext of working in a bar in the past.’,
,
, ‘ Tsuyang later revealed through a YouTube broadcast that she was forced to work under continuous abuse and threats from her ex-boyfriend.’,
,
, ‘ Following this, suspicions arose that Tsuyang was being re-victimized by cyber lecher (a term for individuals who create and upload content on socially sensitive topics receiving a lot of public attention), leading to increased criticism against them.’,
,
, ‘ Suddenly, Guje Yeok and two others identified as cyber lechers were anonymously reported to the prosecution, initiating the investigation into the “Tsuyang intimidation” case.’,
,
, ‘ Tsuyang’s side has also filed a complaint with the prosecution against Guje Yeok, Jujak Gambalsa, the operator of the Criminal Research Institute, and anonymous harassers.’,
,
, ‘ The substantive examination for pre-trial detention of Guje Yeok and Jujak Gambalsa will be conducted soon at the Suwon District Court.’,
