Senior investigators also denied any link between her and the questioned high-profile figures in a news briefing in 2009, saying the allegations against them were "groundless".īut the latest finding is casting suspicion that police and prosecution covered up critical evidence against the figures that were questioned. Only two people - Jang's manger and head of her management agency - were indicted and found guilty of abusing her. But the prosecution refused to act, citing the lack of evidence. The initial investigation was launched based on another note saying that Jang was forced to have sex with them in exchange for receiving favorable treatment in her career in the highly competitive showbiz industry.īack then, police sent their results to the prosecution, demanding 20 figures be indicted. "I will retaliate (against them) even after I die".īut it remains to be seen how aggressively police will reinvestigate the case and find new evidence backing her allegations in the letters.ĭozens of bigwigs - possibly included in the latest list of names - were questioned by police in 2009 over whether they had been "entertained" by the late actress. "I should meet another evil whenever I earn new clothing", she said in a letter, imploring her aide to retaliate against people named on the list. In one letter, she openly expressed her grudge against the figures, calling them "evil" and vowing to "retaliate" even after she died. Jang had to even skip a memorial event for her late parents to "entertain" them, according to the report. Jang said in the letters she was forced to "serve" the 31 figures at karaoke and upscale bars over 100 times. The newly-disclosed letters showed how humiliating and inhumane the situation she faced was. It said the handwriting in the letters was confirmed by experts to be identical to that of Jang. SBS didn't unveil the names for privacy concerns. The relationship between Jang and the aide is also subject to the probe", said a police officer at Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency, which handled the case two years ago. "We will first confirm whether they were written by the late actress. Among them are heads of entertainment agencies, big companies, financial firms and media companies, SBS reported. In the letters, she described the ordeal she endured in detail and identified the 31 people she was forced to "serve", calling them "evil".
