Seoul: Two K-pop stars have been sentenced to jail on Friday for raping intoxicated women. South Korean singer-songwriter Jung Joon-young was convicted of gang rape and distributing videos of the assaults and other sexual encounters, and was jailed for six years in a scandal that has rocked K-pop.
Jung and singer Choi Jong-hoon, a former member of boy band FT Island, were found guilty of gang-raping two different women on two occasions in 2016. Separately, 30-year-old Jung was also convicted of filming himself having sex with other women without their knowledge and sharing the footage without their consent. It is the most high-profile example of an epidemic of spycam crimes in South Korea, which have prompted widespread anger and seen women demonstrating in Seoul, chanting: "My life is not your porn".
