Kim was arrested in Tokyo in June 2009 fby Japanese authorities for overstaying his visa. When police raided Kim’s office, they discovered a shower and bed in a “secret room” on the third floor. She was also forced to serve and consume drinks and to act as an escort at golf matches. The villain, according to South Korean reports, is her agent, Kim Sung-hoon, whom Jang reportedly claimed had regularly beaten her and forced her to have sex with a string of VIPs, including directors, media executives and CEOs. In the letters, Jang expressed frustration and resentment over her circumstances, calling the 31 people “demons.” In more than 50 “diary-like” letters amounting to some 230 pages, allegedly written by Jang before her death and sent to her acquaintance since 2005, she claimed to have been forced to attend drinking parties for and offer sexual favors to 31 individuals, including heads of private enterprises and officials of news organizations, about 100 times.
Jang Ja-yeon, a late rookie actress who committed suicide in March 2009 after accusing her management agency chief of abusing her, claimed in her posthumous letters disclosed by broadcaster SBS on Sunday that she was forced to entertain and provide sex services to 31 people about one hundred times. A journalist was also sued for running an article based on their remarks. In April 2009, two lawmakers were sued by a major Korean-language daily for telling the name of the newspaper’s boss as one of the people on the list in a parliamentary session. With nothing confirmed regarding the case, experts say, the circulation of names could amount to defamation. This is the second circulation of the so-called “Jang Ja-yeon List” following the first circulation at the height of the first investigation in 2009. The names began to appear on major Korean-language portal websites Monday night and have been reproduced on other websites.
