Singer Park Sang-min opened up about being defrauded of a large sum by a manager he trusted.
On the 26th, the channel Kim Hyun-wook's Have a Drink Instead of News uploaded a video titled "Betrayed by those around me, debt alone was hundreds of billions... it took 10 years to repay."
That day, with Park Sang-min appearing as a guest, he was asked a blunt question, "Because you're so loyal, weren't you taken advantage of a lot? How much did you lend and not get back?" and he replied, "When does this air? I'll send my wife somewhere else," which drew laughter.
Kim Hyun-wook said, "The 4 billion won donation became an enormous issue," and Park Sang-min said, "I donated a lot. Some entertainers count performing without charging as a donation. If you include that, it's over the top."
Then Kim Hyun-wook asked, "Was there a reason you made such a big decision? Did your sister-in-law acknowledge it?" and Park Sang-min said, "My wife doesn't know much. She said if I talk about this when this airs and say I'm going to take my wife somewhere else, she'll poison the food. What I'm talking about is being scammed. That he's foolish. That her husband. She said she hates that. That he's so naive and keeps getting taken advantage of. If I tell even once that I was taken somewhere and scammed, she'll poison the food," relaying his wife's fierce warning and bringing laughter.
Still, when told, "You met a good sister-in-law," Park Sang-min recalled his fraud experience involving hundreds of billions, saying, "Yes. The amount I was scammed for was really large. You can't imagine it. It's a three-digit number if you include what I repaid. People say I'm not worried like other entertainers. I thought I was going to die from the hardship. I also drove a lot."
Kim Hyun-wook mentioned, "What's more unfair is that you were cheated by your manager," and Park Sang-min nodded, saying, "There were several cases, but what that guy did was enormous."
Then Kim Hyun-wook angrily said, "What's more infuriating is that afterward you had to repay it," and Park Sang-min said, "He just pinned it on me and my wife. He took out seven imported cars through a finance company. But he took those cars and sold them as cloned cars in Jangandong," he said. When asked, "Did they catch him?" he said, "He was taken in on another charge."
Hearing this, Kim Hyun-wook clicked his tongue and said, "If you send him to prison it should end with him being convicted of fraud, but the problem is that you have to repay it," and when asked, "How many years did it take?" Park Sang-min replied, "More than one year or 10 years. I suffered a lot," and added bitterly, "If I hadn't gone through that, I see these big buildings here — I would have had three or four of buildings like this."
