It's revealed that Kim secretly filmed a total of 8 sex tapes from June 2012 to February 2015. A was unaware of the recordings. 

On August 3, the Supreme Court of Korea ruled that "Filming without consent and threatening with sexual violence are deemed severe crimes. It's also in fair judgment to find him guilty of rape."

Ultimately, Kim has been sentenced to 3 years and 10 months in prison and 40 hours of sexual assault treatment program for sexual violence, violation of consent law, and more.
