The police are investigating the circumstances, believing that Kim took his own life.


In July 2019, Kim was tried for forcibly molesting a woman at a barbecue restaurant in Haeundae, Busan, and was sentenced the day before to eight months in prison with a two-year probation. He was also facing a detention warrant for allegedly extorting hundreds of millions of won from celebrities by threatening to expose their weaknesses, and was awaiting a pre-detention warrant hearing.
