omonatheydidThree entertainers have been booked for selling bogus designer goods through online shopping sites.
A Seoul police office said Tuesday a total of 210 companies selling fake designer clothes, along with the three stars, had been booked without detention.
One of the entertainers, a top female singer, is suspected of having reaped in some 2 million won after selling 135 items of clothes and accessories that falsely carried the names of renowned foreign brands between August and November of last year.
Two actresses are also under investigation for making 1.5 million won and 500,000 won respectively by selling bogus products online.
They had allegedly bought the fakes from Dongdaemun Market and sold them through their online stores.
The investigators said the entertainers stopped selling the goods when authorities started to look into their online stores.
The police also caught eight other such sites for using the names of famous entertainers to sell fake goods under false pretenses and are investigating whether they had conspired with the stars.
The police started to investigate the cases from last November and have caught a large number of people involved, including the entertainers.

ETA: I think (if google translate is to be trusted) these (article 1 and article 2) Korean articles have a bit more info, if someone cares to translate. Still no names though.

Date: 2010-02-09 04:17 pm (UTC)I hope the news isn't baiting us by using "TOP female singer". I would be so disappointed if it was some C-list singer.
