He, along with two other men, is said to have partied with the woman at the bar.

They then took the victim in a taxi back to a defendent’s house, where they took turns raping her while she was “heavily intoxicated”.

A court found all three of them guilty of aggravated assault.

They have now been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

They are also required to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment programme – and have been banned from child and youth-related institutions for five years. 

Announcing his sentence, Judge Lee Hyun-kyung said: “The crime is severe. [The victim] likely suffered great mental pain from being a victim in an unfamiliar place.”

Moon, 31, was previously part of a boy band called NCT, but was kicked out of thr group last year after being accused of raping a woman.

However, it is not clear if he was sacked because of the rape allgeations.
