On the 16th, Judge Ha Se-yong, who was exclusively for criminal 5 of the Seoul Eastern District Law, sentenced Hwang to one year and two months in prison for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (photographing using cameras, etc.).
In addition, it was ordered to complete 40 hours of sexual violence treatment program and to restrict employment in children and adolescents and welfare facilities for the disabled for 3 years.
The judiciary said, “Hwang has filmed a video containing sexual intercourse scenes without obtaining the consent of the other person several times,” and said, “As the related video was distributed on the Internet as the process of the Buddha statue, the damage to the victims was virtually impossible to recover.”
He explained the reason for the sentence, saying, “The sexual shame and mental damage that the victims would have suffered was extreme, and we could not even agree with them.” “However, we considered the fact that there was no evidence that deliberately disseminated the video.”
Hwang is accused of secretly photographing the body of a woman four times in 2017. Most of the victims are known as Hwang’s fans. Hwang is said to have met with them through social media.
Immediately after the sentence, Mr. Hwang bowed his head, saying, “I am very sorry to the victims and I am desperate to want to compensate for the damage.”
Hwang admitted to illegal filming at the first trial in March, but denied the dissemination. Subsequently, a new victim appeared, and additional accusations were made. Hwang tried to reach an agreement with the victims, but it was reported that he did not.
Meanwhile, Hwang won a bronze statue at the 13th Yoo Jae-ha Song Festival in 2001 while attending Hanyang University for a song titled’For example’. Since then, she debuted as a singer in 2004 and released her first album,’Can you hear me?’ The hit song’It’s Okay’ was also used as a theme song in KBS1’s’Challenge Golden Bell’.
He made background music for dramas and entertainment, and participated in the albums of singer Tei, God Denian, and Kim Yeon-woo. Also, many celebrities have recommended and introduced The Film’s songs to fans.
Recently, he raised junior singers as the representative of the label Seattle Music. In 2009, he published’Advice to people injured in love’, and in 2017,’Night to Pour’.
