Korean Wave Star's Manager Jailed

I think it is safe to say that the moral of this story is to not hire gangsters as your manager:

The manager of South Korean movie star Kwon Sang-Woo was sentenced to eight months in jail Wednesday for blackmailing his client, court officials said.

The defendant, a former gangster identified by his family name Paek, was found quilty of threatening Kwon with disclosures about his private life in an attempt to secure a lucrative business contract, they said.

Kwon, 30, who is gaining popularity in Japan and other Asian countries during the Korean pop culture boom, had also faced another case of intimidation.

In February prosecutors indicted Kim Tae-Chon, a gang leader already serving a prison term for bribery, for trying to force Kwon to attend a fans’ meeting in Japan organised by Kim’s friend.
