Former 'Superstar K' contestant Choi Young Tae has been sentenced to prison for fraud.

According to reports, Choi Young Tae was caught scamming buyers on a used goods platform by posting items for sale but never providing the purchased item. He amassed 60 million Won ($55,342.64 USD) by scamming buyers, which doesn't include the 40 million Won ($36,916.75 USD) he was previously charged for scamming. 

As Choi Young Tae was already on a 2-year probation, prosecution demanded a 4.5-year sentence, but he was ultimately sentenced to 1 year in prison. 

During his testimony, Choi Young Tae expressed, "I'm reflecting upon my actions. Once I've served my sentence, I promise to return as a changed man." 

Choi Young Tae appeared as a contestant on 'Superstar K' in 2011.
