JTBC President Seok-hee Son mentioned by Jo Joo-bin as being sent to the prosecutor's office, has been on the top of search terms on the portal site all day.

Interest was focused on why Mr. Cho apologized to President Son.

In response, JTBC said that Mr. Cho approached President Son, saying he was the president of Hung Shin-So, and threatened Mr. Son, saying that he was asked to murder Son and his family by freelance journalist Kim Woong.

In response to Cho's demand for money, Mr. Son explained that he had no choice but to hand over the money to secure evidence.

Police believe that Mr. Cho cheated that he had CCTV data regarding the suspected assault dispute between Mr. Son and Mr. Kim.

Mr. Son, who attended the trial held at the Seoul Western District Court, did not reveal anything to reporters and Kim did not respond.

It is understood that Mr. Cho's sudden mention of celebrities who had been fraudulent was intended to divert attention from his sexual exploitation. [Professor of the Department of Crime and Psychology, Kyonggi University / Kyonggi University: I was arrested for sexual exploitation. .]

In addition to the celebrities mentioned by Mr. Cho, the police are expanding the investigation into further fraud.
