FNC Entertainment has issued a statement regarding the fraud case involving the mother of P1Harmony member Keeho.

On the 18th, FNC Entertainment released an official statement, saying, "We would like to clarify the situation regarding our artist's family," and explained, "The case involving Keeho's mother was reported to the police last year and was concluded with a not guilty verdict. However, a reinvestigation was recently initiated following the victim's objection."

The agency emphasized, "Keeho has no connection to this case," and stated, "We were completely unaware of how the case was proceeding. Despite this, the victim also apologized to Keeho after his name was repeatedly mentioned on social media."

They continued, "However, if the investigation finds the mother at fault, she will naturally be held legally accountable," and added, "Separately, as a son, Keeho feels deeply sorry for the victim and will do his best to help resolve the matter."

The agency also requested, "As the case is still under investigation, we sincerely ask everyone to refrain from malicious slander, indiscriminate personal attacks, and spreading false rumors about the artist." They concluded with an apology, saying, "We regret causing concern to many people due to a matter involving our artist's family."

Meanwhile, Keeho's mother was sued in March last year for allegedly violating the Act on the Regulation of Fraud and Similar Receipt of Money Acts. At the time, FNC Entertainment also released a statement clarifying that "This matter is unrelated to Keeho and is solely his mother's personal issue." However, A, who claims to be a victim of the fraud case, staged a one-person protest in front of the FNC Entertainment building and persistently mentioned Keeho’s name, making various efforts to publicize his mother’s alleged fraud case.
