Microdot and Sanchez's parents have officially been imprisoned for fraud.

In October of 2019, the two artists' father Shin and mother Kim were indicted on the charges of fraud and sentenced to 3 and 1 years in jail, respectively. They were found guilty of borrowing over 400 million Won ($326,891.08 USD) from 14 victims with no intention to repay the loans and fleeing to New Zealand approximately 20 years ago.

Though both Shin and Kim submitted appeals, their prison sentences from the original trial were confirmed as the prosecution's appeal period expired. Kim, whose physical detention was delayed, was officially imprisoned on May 1.

i really feel bad for them bc they seem like really great guys, and i love their style, but their careers in korea are probably over... i hate how a family member's crime is socially placed on the rest of the family who had nothing to do with it

I don't understand why two hard working guys like them get hate for something they had no control over. Since it happened so long ago, they were probably little kids, or maybe they hadn't been born yet. Why hate on them? That would be like trying to hold a newborn accountable for his dad murdering someone. It is unjust and shouldn't happen.
