Korean actor Hwang Jung-eum was sentenced by the Jeju District Court to two years in prison with a four-year suspension for misusing approximately 43.4 billion won (~$3 million) from her agency for cryptocurrency investments. The court considered her first-time offense and the repayment of the full amount. The funds were sourced from her personal income, with 4.2 billion won directly invested in crypto assets. The case led to her removal from variety shows and advertising partnerships.
