[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The eldest son of Lee Jang-han, chairman of Chong Kun Dang, who was prosecuted for illegally filming and distributing sexual intercourse videos, was sentenced to a suspended prison term in the first trial.

On the 12th, Judge Park Hyun-sook of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 22 sentenced Lee, who was indicted for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, to one year in prison with a two-year suspension. The court stated, "Lee fully admitted to the crime and reached an amicable settlement with the victims," adding, "Considering that he has no prior record of similar offenses."

Lee was charged with filming videos without consent while having sexual relations with multiple women and distributing them through social networking services (SNS). The prosecution demanded a five-year prison sentence at the previous sentencing hearing. However, the court reduced the sentence, stating, "Although the videos filmed during the crime show significant exposure of the victims' bodies, their faces are not clearly visible, making it difficult to consider it a violation of personal rights."
