Police arrest individuals behind Solbi’s fake sex tape

[threebits.livejournal.com]

The people behind Solbi‘s fake pornography video have just been brought into custody.

To recap, a video has been floating around since 2009 on various portals sites, blogs, and porn sites under the title, ‘Solbi’s manager’s leaked video’ ‘High Quality‘. The video showed a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Solbi, and as a result, a scandal broke out over the ‘sex tape’. It even resulted in the break up between Solbi and her boyfriend at the time.

Solbi stated, “Due to the spread of a pornography clip titled, ‘Singer Solbi’, which featured a woman who wasn’t me, my mental suffering has been great… I thought that if I didn’t take action, more misunderstandings could arise. Thus, I have decided to sue the people responsible, even it means hurting my image, in hopes that I will no longer have to suffer [over this issue].”

On November 9th, the Cyber Investigation Unit revealed that five people had been indicted on the account of various charges, such as defamation of character and the spread of obscene material.

Those brought into custody stated that they had spread the 30-minute video “for fun”.

Wow, her bf actually broke up with her over that.... Shows how trusting he is.

[nighttimefalls.livejournal.com]

ikr. how trusting, indeed.

For fun? Seriously, seriously people, you need a life of your own.

[rosamajalis.livejournal.com]

It wasn't real? Huh ... interesting.

[patentpending.livejournal.com]

Yeah, super fun to ruin peoples lives and careers for no reason.

"For fun"?! I don't understand people sometimes.

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

I remember when this news broke. I'm happy she's suing the low lifes!

I don't see why suing the pants off the creeps should hurt your image. Shouldn't have to worry about getting the law to take care of people who are screwed up enough that they think ruining someone's career and reputation is 'fun'.

fun? Don't they know scandals like that makes people commit suicide?

"for fun".... trolling....Sounds like the standard excuse when people think they are gonna be anonymous but wanna be mean.
Boyfriend broke up with her for this, didn't need him if he couldn't trust her.
Happy she is taking legal action.
I miss SolBi.....I miss Andy and SolBi on WGM.

I miss SolBi.....I miss Andy and SolBi on WGM

me too. they were my favorite on wgm.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

they were really sweet with each other. i wanted them to be real.
when her mom came over and andy was so formal. and when she made food for the shinwha boys! i loved those parts. ohhhh and the wedding photos.

[paulaaaaa.livejournal.com]

They're my favourite, i wish they'd reunite or something ):

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i wanted them to be real. they were adorable together. ohhh and when andy took her to play pool is another favorite moment of them.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

omg one of my favorite episodes. love how she tricked him and won. they were a lot of fun and I love how solbi did not even bother hiding her feelings for andy.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

exactly. the early couples were pretty raw with their feelings towards each other. i miss that.

[ohbangladesh.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. The flawless 4 had so much potential and there were a LOT of feelings seemed real. I remember the finale and Solbi was like crying saying the show was dangerous - it's not a real marriage but the feelings seem real.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

tbh I never saw anything between the lettuce couple at all. they just always seemed like good friends by the end of it. I feel like they were like hey let's just have fun with this and not take it too seriously.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i thought there was something there with JoongBo....a spark at least...but KHJ can be so emotionalless/stone...i can see where you are coming from.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

it's also one of the reasons why Alex and Shinae ended their run.

[hibohabu.livejournal.com]

Good on Solbi for taking action. There's no shame in standing up for oneself. I hope her pain has eased at least a little. She didn't have to go through this at all.

As for the people behind the video, the payment for their half-hour of 'fun' is way overdue. It should be several years in prison after interest.

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

the video isn't fake though.

but, anyways, why are news portals bringing up such an old issue. it took her years to recover from that.

[akillarian.livejournal.com]

What's a cruel thing to do. This kind of scandal can make people shames her for life if they actually believe it's her tape.

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

Scum tbh. They may have done it for "fun" but that shit has serious consequences. :'( Solbi's name will probably never be clean again because of it and that scandal will never go away.

This was on the real Korean news.
