During his first court appearance on June 1st, the Incheon Courts under the ruling of Judge Shim Dong Young dictated that Bobby Kim should receive 1 year imprisonment with labor, 2 years parole and 5 million won in fine. It was presented as the singer faced charges over his drunken and sexual behaviour onboard a Korean Air flight back in January.

Bobby Kim is reported to have admitted to the charges presented and asked for leniency as he was specifically cited for sexual harassment and aviation security law violations.

During investigations, the singer was quoted confessing, “There were problems with seating arrangement that did not get resolved and thus, while sitting in the economy section, I drank 6 glasses of wine in order to fall asleep” and mentioned, “Although I do remember causing a disturbance on the flight, I do not remember the exact details due to being intoxicated.”

A number of comments about the possible imprisonment are as follows:

[+ 6955, – 134] Wow… 1 year of imprisonment. That seems a bit harsh.

[+ 611, – 7] Is Bobby Kim worse than the one who caused a disturbance over peanuts?

[+ 477, – 18] The peanut lady is on parole yet 1 year of imprisonment for Bobby Kim? It must be the money.

Korean singer Bobby Kim is currently in the middle of a controversy after it was reported he had harassed an air flight attendant on Korean Air on his way to America.

According to a personnel on site, Bobby Kim had been upset after having upgraded his seat from economy to business, unfortunately, the upgrade process had not been completed.

Korean Air told local media in a recent interview, “There was a mistake in ticketing as Bobby Kim claimed. He used mileage points to purchase business seats, but due to a fault of our employee he was assigned an economy seat. However, Bobby Kim got on the flight knowing this, and policy dictates that it’s not possible to switch seats on the plane. If he wanted to resolve a problem,he should have done that before getting on the flight. We have not received witness reports from employees that were at the scene. As Bobby Kim was questioned by the local police, we are waiting fro the results from them.”

Bobby Kim has apologized for his actions, and was quoted saying,“I was disgruntled when the ticket was wrongly assigned. I requested for a change in seats, but they refused to even when there were seats left in the business class. I failed to control my emotions after drinking wine. I am deeply apologetic. No matter why it happened, the truth is there was damage caused to others on the flight and that is my fault. I am deeply shamed at my actions and would like to personally apologize to the attendant. I will kneel and plead for forgiveness if I must.”
