Former GLAM member Kim Dahee and model Lee Ji Yeon, who were charged for blackmailing actor Lee Byung Hun, have been released from jail on March 17 after posting their bail.
On Tuesday, Kim and Lee have been released on bail following the controversial blackmailing case that Byung Hun has filed against them late last year. The case has ended last January in the international actor's favor.

The former idol and the model have initially been sentenced to do time in jail for one year and 14 months respectively after having been found guilty of blackmailing the 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' star for an estimated amount of $6.16 million USD or 5 billion KRW.
However, after posting their bail, they have been released from jail.
According to media reports, Kim and Lee are allegedly making an appeal with regard to their sentence. On the one hand, Byung Hun's side is also said to be appealing for both females to serve three years each in jail instead of the initial sentence given to them by the high court of Seoul.
In related news, after being released from jail, Kim is said to have posted a photo of her greeting and apology to her mother on her Instagram account.
Kim posted a card addressed to her mother which says, "Happy birthday to the angel mother that I love. I love you!" The former idol has also included the words "I'm sorry" and "I'm thankful to my mom," on the caption.
Only hours after posting the photo, Kim, according to media reports, have deleted her Instagram account. Her reason for doing so is still unknown.
On the other hand, Big Hit Entertainment, the company which formed and managed GLAM, has officially announced that the group will be disbanding following Kim's scandal. The company has cited that the other members of the group has requested for the termination of their contract.
