Baek Ji Young was a young talented singer from Korea, who at her early peak was burning up the charts in her home country.
Baek was a Korean pop singing sensation, whose career started in 1999. Her first album to hit the charts was entitled “Sorrow”. The album was a unusual mixture of latin beats and Korean pop songs. The album became very popular and the singles from the album became even more popular and thus made her a new rising star in Korean pop music.
Her second album was called ‘Rouge’ and also did well on the charts, establishing her then as one of the hottest new dance music singers in Korea.
In 2000, Baek's fame took a big hit when a videotape of her engaging in sex with her manager hit the internet. Baek claimed to have not known that the scenes were being videotaped at the time, and she tried to apologize to the press and to her many fans. There was nonetheless a huge drop in her popularity.
After the episode with the videotape, Baek released a another album entitled “Tres”. However, this album did not fare as well with sales. Baek decided that it was now time to take a much needed break from the pop music business.
Two years later, she released her fourth album entitled “Smile" in 2003, which did better than her previous album, but sales were still very weak.
She received somewhat a comeback with her next album in 2006, entitled “Smile again"; featuring less up-tempo and more ballads. The single “I Won't Love" received a bigger response and proved to be very popular. She was now once again heading back up the charts.
In 2006 Baek won the “Best Female Solo Singer" award; and she also released her sixth album “The Sixth Miracle", featuring her hit single "I Only Need One Love", which also won her a best album award in 2008 at the Seoul Music Awards.
As of 2008 Baek was due to have several cysts removed from her vocal cords. Baek is now 32 years old.
Update: The Los Angeles Police Department states that they now have a man in custody who at one time was Baek Young’s manager. It is believed that he may have been solely responsible for the distribution of the sex tape. According to police reports, it is now confirmed that the former manager, 45 year old Kim Seok-wan was arrested in the Los Angeles section of Koreantown. He is believed to have been wanted for over two years on charges of having sex with minors.
Bail has been denied and he is currently in a Los Angeles jail. He has been wanted by the Korean police since 2000, on charges of having distributed the sex tape on the internet, and for defamation to Baek Ji Young's career . . .
