According to the legal community on the 30th, the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office arrested and indicted Yoon on the 7th on charges of fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.


Yoon is accused of borrowing money or inducing investments from acquaintances since 2019 and failing to repay several hundred million won.


The court conducted a pre-trial detention hearing for Yoon on the 18th of last month and issued an arrest warrant, citing concerns that he might destroy evidence or flee.


After being detained, he expressed to the court that he does not wish for a jury trial. The first trial will be held on the 7th of next month at the Incheon District Court.


In 2017, Yoon was previously booked without detention for driving without a license. He was caught driving a vehicle while his license had been revoked due to drunk driving.



Meanwhile, December is a male duo group that debuted in 2009 with "Dear, My Lover" and won awards such as the Singer of the Year at the 2010 KBS Song Festival. Yoon had been active as a solo singer for a period starting in 2019.
