Singer Choi Jong-hun was also sentenced to probation in jail in an appeals court for charges of illegally photographing the female body.

The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Procedure Division 1-1 today (23) sentenced Choi to a two-year sentence of imprisonment, 80 hours of sexual assault program, and a five-year child/youth-related agency's order to limit employment, as in the first trial. I did.

The court said, "There is no change in the conditions because no new data has been submitted at the appeals court, and the sentencing of the first trial is too heavy or too light to be considered to be outside the reasonable range of discretion."

Mr. Choi was accused of uploading a woman's body picture, video, or illegal video from the Internet in 2016 in a KakaoTalk group chat window.

He was also accused of attempting to silence the case, saying he would give the police 2 million won when he was caught driving in the same year while driving drunk.

Apart from this incident, Choi was also sentenced to two years and six months in prison in jail for arrest and charges of sexually assaulting a group of drunk women in Hongcheon, Hongcheon, and Daegu in 2016 along with fellow singer Jeong Jun-young.

The case awaits the Supreme Court's judgment.
