The mother of a famous celebrity has been accused of fraud worth tens of millions of Won.

According to JTBC on March 2 KST, police filed the mother of famous celebrity at Seoul's Bangbae Police Station on the charges of fraud in the amount of 85 million Won ($70,489.74 USD) on February 25. Mother A borrowed 85 million Won from an acquaintance from February 2018 to September 2019, promising to pay a large amount of interest.

However, the acquaintance claims A did not pay interest or repay the interest. They also claimed to have deposited 31 million Won ($25,708.65 USD) into a bank account under the celebrity's name 12 times at the request of A.

The celebrity's agency allegedly stated, "'A' borrowed money into a bank account created when their daughter was a minor and deposited as well as withdrew money from it." The police will soon call an investigator to look into the facts.

    What's with these "parents" of celebrities? So many articles about similar incidents. I feel bad for the celebrity who isn't doing anything wrong but is getting hurt by and being held responsible by the lender and the public for their parent's misbehavior. In this case, it sounds like the celebrity has been working since she was a child. Did the parent use their child as an ATM? So far, it sounds like the parent was also committing fraud by using the old bank account to mislead people. Plus, why do people even lend money based on a celebrity's name if the celebrity isn't directly involved? Seriously, they need to just stop. Do NOT lend money based on someone else's reputation without a signature. Just stop.

    I dont think you guys realize that in korea they dont reveal the names of people or people involved in crimes like this. so obviously this article writer wouldnt have the names, since the police probably didnt release it to the public
