These are the celebrities who have been scammed by the people they trust.
Recently, the unfortunate news of Shinhwa Lee Min-woo was revealed. On an episode of Channel A’s “Best Friends Talkcuarial Table for 4,” which aired on October 16th, he revealed his life story for the first time.
In addition, Lee Min-woo’s sister broke the hearts of fans by adding, “He mentally insulted Min-woo for three years with his weakness.“
In the show, Lee Min-woo shocked the public by revealing he was robbed of all his assets by an 20-year acquaintance of his sister who had approached him deliberately during a difficult time. Lee Min-woo said he was gaslighted by the acquaintance, as well as bullied as the person threatened his family and activities.
BLACKPINK Lisa is also known to have been scammed by her former manager. In June 2020, Lisa gave about KRW 1 billion to her former manager A, who has been with her since her debut. A took money from Lisa, pretending to be looking into real estate for her, exploiting her friendship and spent it all on gambling. After the fraud, A was dismissed from YG Entertainment.
At the time, YG said, “As a result of internally investigation, Lisa was found to have suffered fraud from former manager A. As he was a trusted former manager, according to Lisa’s intention to resolve it smoothly, A reimbursed some of the money and agreed on a reimbursement plan for the rest. He has now left the company. We are very embarrassed by A’s behavior of abusing his trusting relationship with the artist, while feeling responsibility for management and supervision. We are working on measures to prevent such unpleasant incidents from happening again.“
