Former trainee Han Seo Hee ( 26) appealed to the Court to impose harsher penalties on Yang former representatives. Representative Yang former countered this by stating that Han Seo Hee's words were hard to believe.

On the morning of the 8th, the Seoul Central District Court held the 8th trial of Yang former, who was indicted on charges of violating the law on aggravated punishment of specific crimes (retaliation threats).

Han Seo Hee, who was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for using illegal drugs while on probation, appeared as a witness.

Han Seo Hee said, "I can't be proud because I am currently serving time in prison for other crimes. But I am the obvious victim in this case. I want the defendant to receive proper punishment for the fact that he has become a victim."

At today's trial, the prosecutor's questioning of Han Seo Hee followed by questioning of Yang former's lawyers.

Prosecutors questioned Han Seo Hee about why he attempted suicide in early 2020 and why there was no specific threat on his public interest declaration.

Han Seo Hee asked why he attempted suicide, saying, "In January of that year, I had a face-to-face interview with Yang former representative. I made such a choice (attempted suicide) with the thought, 'If I just disappear, it will be over.'"

The prosecution said, "I wondered why there was no mention of Yang Hyun Suk around the time I provided the public interest information, but the witness was interviewed on JTBC's 'Spotlight' broadcast on June 20, 2019. At that time, , A witness revealed, ``Yang Hyun Suk said it would be easy to kill you alone in the entertainment world.'' ``I was 21. I was scared. was saying," he said.

Han Seo Hee explained, “I went out and was interviewed.

Attorneys for Yang former reconfirmed that Han Seo Hee had told others that he would cover up the case if Yang Hyun Suk gave him money.

The defense attorney said, "The witness once said to an acquaintance, Ko, 'Tell Yang Hyun Suk 500 million won (about 50 million yen) if you want to hide the incident.' He said that it was to overcome the situation, and that if he could hear the nuances of his voice, he would submit the recording file.But why didn't he submit it?

Han Seo Hee said, "I asked my mother to bring the mobile phone, but she brought me another mobile phone. At that time, I brought five mobile phones, three of which were mine. The other two belonged to a friend who lived with us, but it wasn't the cell phone that recorded the story.My mother was busy and I couldn't submit it."

When the defense lawyer said, "It's hard to believe that the recording file was difficult to find," Han Seo Hee said, "I'm in detention, so it can't be helped. I've already made it public. So I couldn't receive the money, and I had no reason to.

Regarding this, the court said, ``There are aspects that the testimony and the current situation do not match, and it is necessary to secure objective evidence in order to grasp the credibility of the testimony. .
