Actress Han So Hee admitted that her mother was accused of fraud and apologized, but there was a reason why she drew a clear line.

On March 7, Han So Hee's agency, 9 Ato Entertainment, made an official statement regarding the fact that Han So Hee's mother, A, was recently accused of fraud.

The agency said, "In the process of borrowing money, Mrs. A used a bank account in Han So Hee's name", but added, "Han So Hee has no plans to take responsibility for the related debt. We're sorry for those who unintentionally suffered the damage".

This is the second time that Han So Hee has been under fire over her mother's debt.

In 2020, in an online community, a netizen claiming to have been scammed by Han So Hee's mother, Mrs. A, appeared.

In response to this, Han So Hee personally disclosed the family history of growing up with her grandmother as a child due to the divorce of her parents through her blog.

Han So Hee confessed, "I didn't have frequent visits with my mother, so I learned about my mother's debt after the age of 20, and because I was the daughter and child of my grandmother who raised me, I repaid my mother's debt from before my debut to where I could reach".

She apologized, saying, "After my debut, I came to know that my mother borrowed money using my name and activities as a shield through the contact of the debtors and did not repay it", adding, "I'm sorry that I had more victims due to my mistake that I thought was the only solution".

Listening to Han So Hee two years ago, it wasn't that she never paid her mother's debt. Han So Hee paid off her mother's debt several times, but she seems to have expressed her determined position as the same problem continued to arise.

Fans are also cheering for Han So Hee's strong stance.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
