Han So-hee’s decision of speaking up about her mother’s fraud and her sad family story deserves applause

Han So-hee was caught up in her mother’s fraud lawsuit. However, the actress responded strongly by drawing a line that she would not be responsible for her mother’s debt.

In a press release on March 7th, Han So-hee’s agency, 9ato Entertainment, explained the fact about Han So-hee being sued for violating the Electronic Financial Transaction Act. and announced their position on the fraud of the actress’s mother. Accordingly, the agency confirmed that Han So-hee was not related to her mother’s fraud and the court also excluded Han So-hee from the violation of the Electronic Financial Transaction Act.

Han So-hee’s side explained, “Han So-hee’s mother, Mrs. Shin, used a bank account created under Han So-hee’s name in her process of borrowing money. Shin opened a bank account when Han So-hee was a minor and used it to borrow money (without Han So-hee’s knowing). Several similar incidents had happened. There was even a forgery of private documents. A series of such cases led to civil trials, but the court clearly drew a line that Han So-hee was not related.”

Above all, Han So-hee made it clear that she would not be responsible for her mother’s debt. Han So-hee said, “This is to block the series of actions like this case in which the mother used her daughter’s name to borrow money and reputation as a celebrity to scam money. It is true that we cannot cut off the relationship between the mother and her daughter. “

Unfortunately, Han So-hee’s mother continued to commit fraud for two years. Han So-hee was called out for the debt in 2020. It is said that the actress had settled her mother’s debt even before her debut in order to fulfill her duty as a daughter. However, since more victims appeared, she couldn’t cut off the relationship with her mother and had no choice but to announce a position.

It is also a pity that the sad family story of Han So-hee and her mother was also revealed. After her real name was mentioned by a Youtuber, an interview with her mother was also released. In the interview with Youtuber Lee Jin-ho, her mother said she would work hard to pay off the debts on her own.

There have been many cases in which parents of famous celebrities borrowed large amounts of money using their children’s names and reputations but didn’t pay them back. At first, Han So-hee did try to fulfill her daughter’s duty but eventually decided to show a firm attitude by denying all responsibility related to her mother’s debt to stop the fraud from being continued.

This is a wound that Han So-hee does not want to reveal, but she can prevent more victims to suffer by announcing her position. The actress’s strong determination should be applauded.
