Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu (Xia Junsu) draws attention after it was revealed that he was blackmailed for over 800 M KRW by a female BJ streamer from AfreecaTV. Following the revelation, photos of Kim Junsu with various AfreecaTV BJs have also gained attention. According to Munhwa Ilbo on the 15th, the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency filed for an arrest warrant on November 13 for BJ ‘A’ on charges of blackmail under the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes.
BJ ‘A’ reportedly first met Kim Junsu in 2019, secretly recorded their conversations, and used the recordings to threaten him. The BJ is reported to have extorted billions of won from Kim Jinsoo in exchange for not releasing the recordings.
Kim Junsu, known for his love of the game Starcraft, once made a surprise appearance on MBC Game in 2011 and made headlines by showing off his gaming skill level that’s comparable to professional gamers. He also shared his friendships with professional players like Lee Jaedong, Kim Taekyong, Seo Kyungjong, and Park Joon-oh. Many retired pro gamers turn into internet broadcasters or BJs. Among them, Kim Junsu previously showed off his friendship by posting photos with AfreecaTV BJs such as Yeom Bosung and Park Joon-oh. In particular, he once gave Yeom Bosung a donation of 10,000 ‘star balloons’ (Worth 110 KRW each) on the platform.

-Do his fans know about this and still like him??
-This is why people say that you can tell what someone’s like just by looking at their friends^^ Makes sense now.
-10,000 star balloons for Yeom Bosung… Such a waste of his fans’ moneyB
-Ahã…¡ã…¡ Why does he hang out with people like that?
-So, in the end… The money he gets from his fans end up in BJs, huh…?
-I already had stereotypes about guys who are obsessed with games. Don’t argue with me.
-Birds of a feather flock together.
-ã…‹I’m not even surprised anymore.
-What the f*ck is this…
-Why does he hang out with BJs so much?ã…‹ã…‹
-Yeom Bosung often mentions him in his live broadcasts.
-Oh Gosh… I didn’t know he was this kind of person.
-This is the type of BJ he hangs out with… Birds of a feather flock together
