Police in Seoul arrested two men Friday for arranging prostitution in Korea and the United States involving celebrities, according to Yonhap News Agency. Among the four women involved was a well-known celebrity, according to Yonhap quoting police.
One of the two arrested, Kang, 41, is an ex-convict who finished a jail term in February last year on the same charge. The police also booked nine without detention -- four women, two men who bought sex, and three accomplices.
The news report said Kang runs an entertainment company, and targeted aspiring actresses.
Last April, Kang allegedly sent the celebrity to Los Angeles where she slept with a Korean businessman in exchange of 35 million won. The three other women also flew to the city for prostitution between March and May last year for the same amount of money or less. The women allegedly received portions of the money.
The report said the Korean businessman was wealthy enough to pay for all the travel expenses for the women estimated at more than 90 million won.
Kang also arranged prostitution in Korea. In July last year, Kang got 15 million won for arranging sex for a 43-year-old businessman in Seoul. The report said the police will expand its investigation.
