Kim Young Jae was prosecuted for embezzling around 890 millions KRW from five investors, telling them that the money will go towards an "auto loan business," and that he will repay the principal along with 20% interest. Prosecution had demanded six years of imprisonment at Kim Young Jae's final trial. 


The singer was able to reach an agreement with four of the five investors; however, he was unable to compromise with the fifth investor from whom he had borrowed the largest sum of money.
