The Seoul Central District Court has sentenced a woman named Cho (59-years old) to 1-year in prison, deferred by a probationary period of 2 years, for stalking Apink member/actress Jung Eunji. Cho will be placed under the supervision of a probation officer, and will also be required to pay a fine of 100,000 (~ $75 USD), complete 120 hours of community service, and attend 40 hours of educational courses for prevention of repeated crimes related to stalking.
Cho began stalking Jung Eunji in March of 2020 by sending a packaged to Jung Eunji's home, accompanied by the message, "Will you take me in as your maid and your cohabitation partner?" Two months later, Cho tailed Jung Eunji to her hair and makeup shop on a motorcycle.
In April and July of 2021, Cho was found staking out at Jung Eunji's apartment. The police gave her a strong warning at the time, and Cho sent a message to Eunji's agency, promising not to contact Eunji.
However, in the next five months, Cho continued to terrorize Jung Eunji with countless Instagram DMs and Bubble messages, until in December of 2021, Eunji announced that she would be halting her Bubble service altogether due to "people who are too engrossed in this that they can't lead ordinary lives."
According to the Seoul Central District Court, "Despite the fact that the victim suffered from severe mental and emotional trauma, the defendant refused to admit to the crimes and showed no sign of reflection."

Soooooo...a week of classes and a tiny fine are supposed to teach what a year and a half of "Stop", "No", "Don't", "Leave me alone" and "FUCK OFF AND DON'T COME BACK" could not??? The judge is an idiot.
