“The woman who threatened Lee Byung-hun” Dahee won Daesang at the AfreecaTV BJ Awards, an impressive turnaround in her life

The female idol who used to be imprisoned for threatening actor Lee Byung-hun is now the most successful BJ on AfreecaTV.

Dahee, a former member of GLAM – the first girl group produced by Big Hit Entertainment’s CEO Bang Si-hyuk, reached her life-turning point after working as an AfreecaTV BJ under the name “Kim Si-won”.

BJ Kim Si-won, who previously worked in the entertainment industry as Dahee, won the grand prize (Daesang) at the AfreecaTV BJ Awards held at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul on December 24th. On this day, she wore a black outfit and held a bouquet of flowers, expressing her happiness while giving an acceptance speech.

In particular, according to PoongToday, a site that counts the number of star balloons BJs earned, Kim Si-won received 6,756,530 star balloons in November, ranking No.1 in AfreecaTV’s star balloon rankings. She also drew keen attention with her star balloon income mounting up to 700 million won only in 5 days.

Meanwhile, Kim Si-won debuted in 2012 as a member of girl group GLAM produced by the collaboration between Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music. However, together with model Lee Ji-yeon, Kim Si-won caused a stir in 2014 as she threatened actor Lee Byung-hun with some obscene videos recorded privately and demanded 5 billion won. Then, she was sentenced to one year in prison in the first trial for threatening Lee Byung-hun. After submitting her appeal, Kim Si-won received the final sentence of one year in prison and a two-year probation. After being released from jail, Kim Si-won has been active as a BK on AfreecaTV and is currently the most famous BJ.
