In September 2017 two individuals Mr. Kim and Mr.Lee, posing as SM Entertainment executives signed a contract with a Bangkok based planning agency for an EXO concert in November of the same year. The two made fake contracts with a forged signature of SM Entertainment's CEO. They also received a deposit of 280 million won (approximately $230,900) for the concert.
On June 18, it was revealed that judge Ryu Hee Hyun of the Seoul Southern District Court sentenced Kim to two years in prison and Lee to one year on charges of fraud, forgery, and utilization of the forged documents.
Kim has a previous 4-month sentence, suspended for two years of probation in August 2019 for a similar crime and Lee had also received punishment for fraud in the past.
The judge mentioned that they are currently unable to repay full amount but 'are making an effort' and already returned 47 million won (approximately $38,800).
