[South Korean Prosecutors Seek 3-Year Prison Sentence for Actress Hwang Jung-eum Accused of Embezzling 4.2 Billion Won in Public Funds to Invest in Cryptocurrency] BlockBeats News, August 22, according to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean prosecutors are seeking a 3-year prison sentence for actress Hwang Jung-eum, who has been indicted for allegedly embezzling 4.3 billion won (approximately $3.07 million) in company funds to invest in virtual currency. On the 21st, during the final trial held at the Jeju District Court's Criminal Division 2 (Presiding Judge Lim Jae-nam), the Jeju District Prosecutors' Office requested the court to sentence actress Hwang Jung-eum to 3 years in prison for violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (embezzlement). Earlier reports stated that on June 17, South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum (phonetic translation) was indicted for allegedly embezzling approximately 4.2 billion won (about $3.07 million) in company funds to invest in virtual currency. Her agency, Y1 Entertainment, announced on June 17 that Hwang Jung-eum had fully repaid the owed amount in two installments on May 30 and June 5. Previously, around 2022, Hwang Jung-eum withdrew a total of 4.34 billion won from Hunminjeongeum Entertainment, most of which was used for cryptocurrency investments. The case involves violations of the embezzlement-related provisions under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes and is currently undergoing judicial proceedings.
