Girls' Generation's Taeyeon's agency has made a statement regarding the disclosure of her real name as a celebrity scammed by a real estate investment.

On the October 28th, YTN said, "It has been confirmed that a famous Korean pop star also suffered financial loss from the real estate investment scam that stole 21.3 million dollars from victims across the nation.”

Their report also said, “So far, the police confirmed 3,000 other victims. It turned out that a famous KBS comedian took part in the fraud scheme by encouraging wealthy people to invest,” in their exclusive article.

According to the report, the land purchased by Taeyeon is a designated mountain area that cannot be repurposed except for military or public use. It was revealed that the company bought the land for about $341,000 and sold it to Taeyeon for $938,000 within three months.

A former employee of the planning real estate company said, “The person who worked next to me was a friend of the pop star’s father, so I know that her father had bought the land under the singer’s name.”

Then, a media outlet revealed her real name as 'The famous girl group Hallyu star who suffered damage is singer Taeyeon'.

In relation to this, Taeyeon's agency, SM Entertainment, drew a line on Donga.com saying, “It is difficult for us to grasp what had happened because it is related to the artist’s personal assets"

Currently, the police are investigating the four representatives of the group’s branch on charges of fraud under the Specific Economic Crimes Act and violation of the Farmland Act.

Meanwhile, the female comedian suspected of having taken part in the fraud, Ahn Soo Mi, claimed that she was falsely accused.

The comedian said in a telephone interview with OSEN on the 28th, “I have never sold properties to rich people, and I have never met Taeyeon in my life. Please respect my privacy,” explaining that she has nothing to do with the scheme.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
