A woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for blackmailing football star Son Heung-min, a South Korean court said.

The woman, identified only as Yang, was charged with extorting 300 million won (£152,000) from Son in 2024 after sending him an ultrasound photo of a baby that she claimed was his, and demanding money to stay silent.
