K-Pop Star Kidnapped by Manager

She was in danger too.

Jo Yu Jeong, a former K-Pop star, shared a shocking story. She was kidnapped by her manager.

She wrote about it online.

Hello, I'm Jo Yu Jeong. Many people were worried, so I'm updating you. I got many calls from reporters, but my family and I don't want this to be public.

On April 14, I was kidnapped and hurt. I got death threats and was robbed.

First, I will tell you who did this to me.

The person's Afreeca ID is Minyoung.

Their real name is Go *** Joon. I'm not allowed to say their full name.

This person worked for me since last year. They got paid every month to help me.

The police didn't tell me how old they are.

She remembered what happened very clearly.

How they did it:

On April 14, I went to work. My manager said they had a gift for me from a friend.

They gave me a pen to sign something. Then they covered my mouth and pushed me into a van.

They had a knife and said they would kill me. They said if they killed me, they would only go to jail for 7 years.

They said I was mean to them and the people who watch me. This happened after I paid them.

They took my phone and asked about my chat groups.

I asked if I could go to work. I said I would give them what they wanted.

My other manager called me, but the kidnapper answered and lied.

The police called me many times, but the kidnapper said they were my boyfriend.

The police believed them and didn't do anything.

After I escaped, I said sorry for worrying everyone.

How I escaped:

I waited and then tried to get out. I removed the rope and crawled to the front of the car.

I went to a hair salon and asked for help. They called the police.

We think this was planned for money. The police are still looking for the kidnapper.

I'm in the hospital with many injuries. The investigation is ongoing.

She also wrote a message on her Afreeca page.

My post was deleted, but I will recover and come back soon. Thank you for your support!

A fan shared what my other manager said during a broadcast.

The police looked at CCTV footage and searched for me. They found me after I escaped.

The manager was arrested 4 days later. We don't know more about what happened.
