One of the victims, who attended the trial, told reporters that she had to file an additional complaint against the rapper with the police on charges of stalking after he suddenly showed up to meet her last January. She added that “A” has made no efforts to amend his wrongs.
Mr. A, who is the main rapper of an idol group, suspended his activities in 2019 due to health reasons. The group he is in is a five-member idol group that debuted in 2017. Mr. A is, unfortunately not the only member to get entangled in such a serious crime. In 2019, another member, Lee, was sentenced to probation on charges of molesting a minor.
Meanwhile, the next trial for Mr. A’s case is scheduled for May 17, KST.
