Former DIA’s Somyi Sentenced to 1 Year 6 Months in Prison for False Accusations Against CEO
Somyi, an ex-member of DIA, has been sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison by the Central District Court of Seoul.
Following the trial on March 21st, Somyi was immediately taken into custody.
In January 2023, Somyi accused the CEO of her management company of sexual assault in their office. However, CCTV footage contradicted her claims, showing no evidence of misconduct by the CEO. Instead, it depicted Somyi calmly leaving the room, walking around, and even hugging the CEO.
The prosecution argued that Somyi fabricated the accusations to manipulate A into ending his relationship with his girlfriend. Despite the allegations, Somyi maintained her innocence.
Somyi’s lawyer argued that alcohol had impaired her judgment, rendering her incapable of making sound decisions.
The court ruled that Somyi’s fabrication of accusations and false statements to the investigative agency exacerbated her offense, resulting in a more severe sentence.
Somyi, born in 2000, joined DIA in 2017 but ceased activities in 2019. She became a streamer on an adult platform in 2021 but stopped in January of the following year. Her social media accounts have since become inactive.
