YouTubers accused of blackmail against Tzuyang (real name Park Jung-won) have been arrested. Chief Judge Son Chul of the Suwon District Court conducted a pre-arrest interrogation of Gujaeyeok (real name Lee Jun-hee) and Jujak Gambyulsa (real name Jeon Guk-jin) on the 26th.
Their charges include blackmail, threats, and coercion. Judge Son issued arrest warrants based on the severity of the charges and concerns about secondary harm.
In February of last year, Gujaeyeok sent an email to Tzuyang's side, attaching a YouTube link discussing tax evasion allegations and warning about another report that was "100 times more serious."
During this process, it is known that the two conspired. They set conditions to not disclose matters related to Tzuyang and her ex-boyfriend, and are under investigation for extorting 55 million won.
Jujak Gambyulsa admitted to receiving money on his channel, while Gujaeyeok denied the charges, claiming that Tzuyang's side requested risk management services.
Separately, Tzuyang's side has filed a complaint with the prosecution against Gujaeyeok, Jujak Gambyulsa, the Crime Research Institute, and anonymous threats. If more accomplices in the blackmail come forward, additional legal actions will be taken.
