One K-pop star has been arrested and four others forced to apologise or retire after becoming embroiled in a digital sex scandal that has rocked South Korea's entertainment industry.
Jung Joon-young was arrested yesterday, hours after he apologised for filming and distributing illicit sex videos without his partners' consent.
The videos of at least 10 women were shared through mobile chat rooms in 2015 with recipients including fellow K-pop star Seungri of BIGBANG.
Joon-young, 30, appeared at a hearing yesterday and apologised for committing 'unforgivable crimes', the South's Yonhap news agency reported.
'I am sorry. I made a big and inexcusable mistake, and I admit my guilt,' he said. 'I will live my days repenting for the sins.'
