An appeals court on Wednesday upheld prison terms for a woman and a man for blackmailing football star Son Heung-min with pregnancy claims.

The Seoul Central District Court's appeals division upheld a lower ruling last December that sentenced the 20-something woman, surnamed Yang, to four years in prison, and the 40-something man, surnamed Yong, to two years.

The bench said it would dismiss the defendants' appeals, ruling the sentences cannot be seen as excessive.

Yang was charged with blackmail and attempted blackmail for extorting 300 million won ($203,000) from Son of Los Angeles Football Club in June 2024 after sending him an ultrasound image of a baby and threatening to reveal she was pregnant with his child.

Later, between March and May last year, Yang and Yong together attempted to extort another 70 million won from Son by threatening to tell his family and the press about her pregnancy and subsequent abortion.

Yong was charged with attempted blackmail.

항소법원은 수요일에 축구 선수 손흥민을 대상으로 한 임신 주장을 이용한 협박 사건에 대해 여성과 남성의 징역 형을 유지했다. 서울중앙지방법원 형사합의부는 지난해 12월의 1심 판결을 유지하며, 성은 양으로 알려진 20대 여성을 징역 4년으로, 성은 용으로 알려진 40대 남성을 징역 2년으로 선고한 원심을 확인했다. 재판부는 피고인들의 항소를 기각하고 형이 과하다고 볼 수 없다고 판단했다. 양은 2024년 6월 손흥민으로부터 아기의 초음파 사진을 보내고 자신이 임신했다고 밝혀 그의 자녀를 공개하겠다고 위협하며 3억 원의 돈을 갈취하려 했다. 또한 작년 3월에서 5월 사이 양과 용은 함께 손흥민의 가족과 언론에 임신과 그에 따른 낙태를 알리겠다고 위협하며 추가로 7000만 원을 갈취하려 했다. 용은 협박 미수 혐의를 받았다.
