It should be lifetime imprisonment.
What a douche bag.
I guess when you have a lot of money you can get out of the worst things huh? What a low life. It's okay karma will eventually catch up with him regardless.
serves him right
This is by far the sorriest sentence for rape I have ever heard in my life. I feel sorry for the poor women that have to endure a life sentence worth of memories by this poor excuse of a human being.
BOOOOOOOO!! the original 9 years wouldn't have been enough to begin with.. 6years and 40hours of "treatment" is a slap in the wrist in my book
ikr for what hes done he deserves WAY more.
scum of the music industry in korea.
So he raped several females.......and he only got 6 years because of a letter of APOLOGY!!!!
Wow! Only 6 years!? -_____-
so an apology letter reduces your sentence by that much??? hmmm.. ill have to remember that if i ever have to go to court for something
That's a little time come on! Maybe the judjes should be raped to understand the wheight of his actions? -.-
Only 6 years. That's not enough. Think about all the girls he raped/sexually assaulted over the years...and that's all he gets. damn he got it easy. well when he's in jail maybe he'll get raped and see how it feels and hopefully comes out a changed man.
holy mother, I thought that the sentences where I live wasn't justice. Like seriously? What is wrong with the people of the law nowadays? It seems like they don't want to help anyone. :@
That's all he gets???? Six years and 40 hours (1 week) of sexual assault treatment....
Those girls have to live with the pain and suffering from what he did for the rest of their lives....
He will do the same thing when he gets out if prison....
6 years is that it? c´mon he deserves more
i wish he be dead after that years
He should get a longer sentence.
Six years... this is a joke. And I'm afraid his not the only one doing this to trainees, he is just the one who got caught. God, sometimes I hate this industry.
X-5, the boss, jun jin (left the company june 26th this year), and lug are the possible idols that coudlve been "forced to join" which is really freaking awful because not only is it dreadful for the girls involved but the idols we love that we thought would never do that...
Poor Girls. That Man Should Have A Longer Sentence!!!!
He should have life
