``Woman threatening the late Lee Sun Kyun'' told other men, ``Give me money because I'm pregnant'' = South Korea

A woman in her 20s who blackmailed the late Korean actor Lee Sun Kyun and defrauded him of 50 million won was arrested, and it was revealed that she also defrauded other men of hundreds of millions of won using pretexts such as pregnancy.
It became clear that On December 28, last year, according to the Kookmin Ilbo, a woman in her 20s, Ms. A (28), met a man she met through a club app used mainly by office workers.
They accepted money for reasons such as ``I need the money for surgery'' and ``I need to undergo treatment in order to have a child.'' Mr. A gave birth around January last year, but the man who received threats from Mr. A.
It turns out that he paid child support for the first few months. There were at least five victims, each of whom was defrauded of millions of won to tens of millions of won.
One of the victims had a biological child confirmed, but after receiving the results that the child was not his biological child, a lawyer will be appointed and Mr. A will be charged with fraud.
Previously, on the same day, Mr. A was charged with a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of receiving 50 million won from Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee had accused Mr. B (29), the manager of an adult entertainment shop, and Mr. A, an acquaintance of Mr. B's upstairs, of extortion. On the 26th, Mr. A submitted a special request to the substantive examination of the warrant held at the Incheon District Court.
Mr. A was absent without giving a reason, and the police took him into custody. Ms. B attended the substantive examination of the warrant on that day, with her child cradled in her arms.
The appearance of the actress holding a child in her arms has been criticized as ``trying to gain sympathy by using the child'', and there are accusations of child abuse.
The possibility has also been raised. According to Article 17, Item 5 of the Child Welfare Act, acts that are harmful to children's mental health and development are prohibited.
In response, Gong Hye-jeong, the representative of the Child Abuse Prevention Association, said through the media, ``
If the suspect brought the baby with him without a valid reason, he was using the baby as a tool to justify his charges.''
Despite this, the fact that the baby was brought in constitutes child abuse."
