South Korean star Hwang Ui-jo gets suspended sentence after sex video scandal!

Former South Korean international Hwang Ui-jo was convicted of illegal sexual filming by the Central District Court in Seoul. Hwang, who is currently under contract with Turkish club Alanyaspor, received a suspended sentence of one year, thus avoiding a four-year prison sentence that the public prosecutor had demanded. Like the South Korean news agency Yonhap News Agency reported, Hwang was found guilty of filming women during sexual intercourse without their consent.

Details of the judgment

The court based its decision on the seriousness of the crimes: "Considering the fact that he filmed the women during sexual intercourse against their will with a cell phone, the nature of the crime is not good." Hwang had already apologized in court for his actions and expressed regret after initially protesting his innocence. The player's affair became public when his sister-in-law published videos of him in 2023 to blackmail him. She was subsequently convicted and is currently in prison t-online.de reported.

Since the incident and the related investigation, Hwang, who has won 62 caps for South Korea, has been suspended from the national team. He was also under contract with Nottingham Forest until the summer of 2024, from whom he has since left. His conviction casts a shadow over the 32-year-old's sporting career and could have a significant impact on his future in football.
