Clara and her father have been charged on blackmailing as they claimed on September 22nd last year, 'There were parts that incited sexual humiliation and cannot continue with the contract due to the issue, therefore cancel the contract", in relation to the text messages exchanged with the chairman Lee Kyu-tae.
