The investigation into a possible celebrity prostitution ring, which started rumors about several k-drama actresses, has resulted in a single conviction and a fine.

The 2013 investigation started rumors about which actresses might be involved and at least 30 actresses were said to be part of the ring. A few k-drama actresses felt the need to publicly state their innocence and some even took legal action to stop the spread of rumors. Almost all of the actresses who were rumored to be involved had their named cleared when the prosecution said they could only confirm the activities of one actress.

That actress, Sung Hyun Ah, who was the second runner up for the title of Miss Korea in 1994 was indicted on charges of prostitution in December 2013 and promptly counter-sued to prove her innocence.

According to Hancinema, the Ansan Branch of Suwon District Prosecutor's Office has found Sung Hyun Ah, was charged with three separate incidents of having sex for money. for a total of 50 million won  and arranging prostitution, The court fined her 2 million won   Chae was given a fine of 3 million for having paid sex with female celebrities, and a prison sentence of a year and a half was given to Kang who arranged the meetings.

It's not the first time that the actress has been the subject of controversy. She has taken controversial roles, appearing in films such as "Woman is the Future of Man," "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Customer Is Always Right." She was caught using the drug ecstasy in 2002 and published a book of nude photos of herself.

But after her nude film scenes in the film "The Intimate" were used extensively for marketing purposes, she vowed never to shoot nude scenes again. The actress has not appeared on the small screen for three years. Her last drama was "Flames of Desire in 2011" and before that she appeared in "Ja Myung Go" in 2009.

Sung Hyun Ah was married to businessman Heo Eun Gyo in 2007. She divorced him in 2010 and remarried three months later. The actress gave birth to a son in 2012. She is reportedly separated from her current husband and he has been unavailable for comment. A Korean magazine reported that he left her shortly after the birth of their child and that this left her in a desperate situation.

After the trial, Sung Hyun Ah had nothing to say to the press.

There was some article I read about how common it is to pay for sex unfortunately, esp among actors because they can't survive on their gigs alone:/

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

haha, i figured. (but by cut the article, i thought maybe the source didn't allow you to post the whole thing or it was long, so you figured no one would read it.)

[impatiences.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a bad bitch imo.

I have a BIG problem with prostitutes being jailed, but their tricks getting off scott free. It's a consumer driven business, is it not?...her services wouldn't be given if they weren't desired.

Also, article author is messy af for bringing up her kid and her ex husband. Has nothing to do with the charges. Neither do her choices to take scandalous~ roles or previous convictions. I see your misogyny.
