So disgusting that he did all that and tried to make people believe that she was at fault. I’m glad he served time in prison and that she's happily married!

[@KimCheon-Sa]

Same, I'm glad she's living a happy life now. ❤❤

[@dannyoopxo]

He should not have did that

[@orientalcaesar]

Is she, the only one in jail? Nothing else?

[@playmakersmusic]

This and false sexual assault allegations. People who commit these should be held accountable, not the victims

[@saxamrawat1505]

Damn! Her attorney was on point stating the hypocrisy of people criticising her for not having a high enough moral standard while still rushing to watch that video and what a point he made, when he said she should be held to the same standard for morals as the general public. W Attorney.

[@likhwezititus]

Yep and they'll probably rush to try and justify it

[@WhippedForJungkookie]

Baek went through a lot, being exploited and used by someone she trusted and though it wasn't her fault, her reputation and wholesome image was tarnished by the scandal, however she overcame and bounced back stronger than ever to resume her successful career, more power to her, happy that everything turned out well in the end, may she continue to thrive ❤️

An offender remains an offender. The guy never learns as he has not faced the consequence of his action in Korea. It's sad that he had to have another victim just for him to be arrested and it has to be in another country.

This honestly makes the show Miss Baek even more meaningful. I didn’t actually know she had gone through so much. I can understand why she felt motivated to participate in a show that gives second chances to female idols

[@spencerroberts4940]

Exactly! I loved the show and was really appreciative of what the show was trying to accomplish. Knowing what Baek Ji Young went through such an ordeal at the hands of some one that she trusted, really puts the show in a new light.

[@imissmyshiro7523]

Why is that we know who the victim was ? But not the manager who did this? Ppl need to make that person known too It's unfair that ppl are still talking about the scandal with only knowing the singers face while she didn't do anything wrong.

As a non Korean I knew of Baek Jiyeon, but I had never known about this. I now have even more respect for her now. There were hints of something of this here and there and on shows she was on. She and others may have made slight references about her past. But Jiyeon is so funny I thought they were just making things up. No wonder she is as strong a personality as she is now. Only legends survive and come out of the other side of horrific encounters like that. She deserves all her hard won fame, awards, and accolades. And legendary status.

Baek Ji Young was the first soloist I discovered when I got into K-pop , her ballads made me interested in listening ballads , when I found about the scandal I was shocked and it always make me sad how the Korean society still has this hypocrisy , not only koreans but K- Pop community as a whole too.

[@likhwezititus]

This literally happend at my school last year. I'm in South Africa and at my highschool a tape was distributed. The girl in the video was ostracized and the guy got applause everywhere he went. Talk about double standards I didn't even watch the video I heard about from a FRIKIN TEACHER! It's so disappointing considering even our female educators were judging.

[@ashantythegreat3231]

She said that she had sex scandal. Then I said to her, "I don't care she has a great voice, and it's not her fault. Then she stopped asking.

What a sick individual of a man. He basically ruined her career I hope she at least sued her behind off on him and got some kind of settlement for defamation of character.

[@AICoderr]

Baek Ji Young was a dancing diva, one of the most popular ones of her time, when the incident happened. When she returned after 3 years, she brought with her the saddest song we had ever heard and touched all of our hearts. Since then, she has remained one of the few singers who can truly express sadness. Whenever we listen to her songs, we can't help but shed tears

[@hlcb8862]

she was never an "idol" ... she was just considered a singer. mostly a ballad singer.

[@ashantythegreat3231]

Kpop is all Korean music. So she is a idol

[@Haegemon]

"a video having inappropriate relations with her manager and boyfriend...." what's inappropriate of having sex with her boyfriend? innappropriate is the weaponary use of the video and the leak.

[@ashantythegreat3231]

It's for yt 😅

[@orientalcaesar]

In fact, the case experienced by Baek Ji-yong has long been an open secret even abroad (Asia). I am actually surprised, a case like this is very horrendous when it becomes an open secret and without a solution. Do cases like this involve important figures or businessmen? How far is legal equality for man and women in South Korea? How many scandals between officials, important figures or businessmen and artists, but only borne by the artist while the officials seem to have never existed? Does a case like this have the potential to divert the issue because there are problematic (corrupt) politicians? ps : sorry, my english is not my native language.

[@janinafrank3208]

I'm sorry but you said the scandal broke out in 2000? just one year after her debut? so why did she hold a press conference 9 years later in 2009? also 2000 then shouldn't have been the peak of her carrier if she won daesangs in 2009 I'm just confused... 😅😅

Toxic masculinity, traumatizing, and panic inducing. I'd feel sick to my stomach the whole time if I knew something like that existed. No wonder so many starlets become afraid of men. When men they're supposed to trust are actually controlling and toxic monsters. If 'helpful' men and bosses are like this, what hope can they have?

[@criminyworldriseedify8962]

This also means that any starlet might have a scandal at any time. How on edge they must be. On eggshells. And unable to escape. How to liberate them... Maybe look at every future 'scandal' as something they are highly likely to be a victim of. Innocent until proven guilty. Hold judgement in reserve, stay silent.
