Actress Lim Seong-eun has remained silent regarding her husband's fraud allegations, while her agency stated that it is verifying the details.
On the 26th, Lim Seong-eun's agency cautiously referred to her husband's fraud allegations as a "private matter" but conveyed that it is currently verifying the details.
Earlier that day, a media outlet reported on the fraud allegations against Lim Seong-eun's husband, Mr. A. Lim Seong-eun married Mr. A, a non-celebrity businessman, at the JW Marriott Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, on the 17th of this month. At that time, it was only known that Mr. A was a general businessman.
However, on the 26th, it was reported that Mr. A has a history of three fraud convictions and is currently under investigation and facing trial for fraud allegations involving over 20 billion won related to a local housing association. According to the report, Mr. A is currently facing allegations of fraud, breach of trust, embezzlement, obstruction of business, and concealment of property, with the scale of damages exceeding 20 billion won.
In particular, it has been reported that Mr. A has committed multiple fraudulent acts, including deceiving investors by pretending that the sale of retail spaces was complete back in 2007.
In response, comments expressing distress over the fraud were flooding the mobile invitation comments section for Lim Seong-eun and Mr. A. However, shortly after, the comments section was closed, and the wedding proceeded lavishly amid congratulations from many without any changes.
Amid this, the fraud allegations against Mr. A have spread widely. Aware of the controversy, Lim Seong-eun has kept the comments section of her most recent post closed. In response, comments such as, "Why are you deleting comments? I am a genuine victim of the housing association. If you are innocent, please do not delete the comments," and, "I am a victim of the housing association. Please tell Mr. A to return my 100 million won. Was it good driving around in a Bentley with other people's money?" have been continuously posted.
Despite this, Lim Seong-eun has not provided any significant statements. OSEN attempted to contact Lim Seong-eun to confirm her position, but was unsuccessful. With the party remaining silent, attention is drawn to what stance her agency will take.
