Yeeun Responds To Reports That She Was Investigated For Fraud With Her Father

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

Yeeun’s agency has responded to reports revealing that the singer was sued along with her father, a pastor, in the latest case of fraud against the members of his church.

September 10, Yeeun’s agency Amoeba Culture said, “It is true that Yeeun was sued for fraud, and that she was investigated by the police. She is in no way involved in the incident, and in order to prove her innocence, she faithfully cooperated with the police in their investigations. We apologize for all of the controversy due to her father.”

Yeeun’s father is currently serving a six-year prison sentence for conning roughly 150 members of his church out of about 19.7 billion won (approximately $17.4 million).

In the latest charges brought forth in March this year, the victims are claiming that the pastor and his daughter, Yeeun, deceived the churchgoers under the ruse of an entertainment business. Investigation regarding this case is still ongoing.

News sources have also revealed that there are charges against the pastor of alleged sexual assault. September 10, Channel A reported that the pastor is being investigated for the sexual assault of a woman in her 20s three years ago. The pastor has denied these charges, and has expressed his intent to countersue for false accusations.

it really is your own family doing the most when you're famous

Korean churches are absolutely wild, I was always uncomfortable walking past them when they had their 'recruitment drive' days.

what if he's also related to that cult clarification/press conference jyp said was going to happen on september .... ???

at least in my country there's a couple of korean churchs that everybody know are cults , weird part is that they all work together

vintage_boom will be live with full extensive coverage and on standby when the conference begins and ends. #jypfaith

sidenote: i hope the conference doesn't happen on the 29th because my brother is getting married, but i hope for a long, detailed analysis on that conference

I’ve been checking the mail every day for my #jypfaith pr package but nothing yet. :(

this is getting complicated
now korean press says she canceled her comeback ... apparently she will go on hiatus

Amidst current events, it was revealed that Yeeun, also known as Ha:tfelt was planning to make a comeback before end of 2018 with a new album

However, with current circumstances, it is likely that she will not be active until situation is cleared

benihime99 will not be pleased about this news

but seriously though, i'm not 100% surprised that she's delaying her album even though i've been listening to deine since it came out. hope it's worth the wait

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

yep, mess incoming
korean press keeps giving mixed reports ... now they say pastor is also a sexual predator , seem like they have proofs she attended his fathers cult lectures and lied about being bad terms with him

she will need to stay out of public eye for a while

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm also reading that as well.

honestly, it's not a shock that a pastor is being accused of sexual assault. it's nothing new tbh when you hear the news about a pastor or a priest being involved in that crime. and the fact that they could get away with it because they're spewing words from the Lord above makes me sick to my stomach

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Upset but not surprised. People are going to be pointing fingers at her until this gets sorted out, it's better that she lays low for a while.

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

it makes sense. it's better to push it back rather than promote in the midst of all this negative press.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i heard her parents divorced when she was young and her father never took care of them. if it's true, it's really sucks that he brings her to this

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

Poor Yeeun.

Her dad sounds like trash.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

shit, i'd heard he was in for fraud, but i didn't realise the scale of it. and sexual assault too? nasty.
