[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from South Korean media, Hwang Ui-jo’s sister-in-law was sentenced to three years in prison by the Seoul High Court in June for illegally distributing obscene videos. She was clearly dissatisfied with the ruling and subsequently filed an appeal. There has been a recent development: her appeal has failed, and the court has upheld her original three-year prison sentence. Her actions have drawn widespread attention, and her failed appeal means she will face a three-year prison term. This incident has had a significant impact on Hwang Ui-jo himself and has sparked deep reflection in society regarding illegal distribution of obscene videos. It is reported that Hwang’s sister-in-law had been living a stable life with her husband but gave up everything in South Korea to support Hwang’s success overseas for five years. However, when Hwang was preparing to join an English team last year, conflicts arose due to differing opinions, and she felt betrayed.
