Former T-ara member Ahreum has found herself at the center of a scamming controversy that has been making waves in online communities recently.

It all began with concerns raised by fans when Ahreum announced her plans to remarry after her divorce and introduced her new boyfriend.

Some fans expressed worries that her boyfriend might be involved in fraudulent activities. However, Ahreum staunchly defended him, refuting all allegations and asserting that her partner is a scriptwriter.

Despite her defense, Ahreum and her new partner continued to attract attention due to reports about her divorce and allegations of domestic violence from her ex-husband.

More recently, accusations surfaced suggesting that Ahreum had been fraudulently borrowing money from individuals around her, including her own fans.

As the controversy escalated, Dispatch conducted an investigation and uncovered suspicions that Ahreum was indeed soliciting money from fans under false pretenses, citing reasons such as needing funds for the divorce, hospital fees, and child support.

Although Ahreum claimed that someone was impersonating her to extort money, Dispatch found evidence of suspicious messages sent to Ahreum's fans.

Furthermore, when asked for verification by fans, Ahreum complied by taking a photo in a hospital room holding up three fingers.

When Dispatch attempted to reach out to Ahreum for comment, she blocked all calls, maintaining that she had never borrowed money from fans.

In a new Instagram story posted on April 2, Ahreum reiterated her claim of being hacked and insisted that someone was using her name for extortion purposes.

She wrote, 

"I just saw the messages about Toto, whatever that is,
which caused confusion even to our mother.
It's a prank by a hacker.
I have never shared that kind of message with Oppa (her boyfriend)
I don't even know what 'Toto' means.
If, by any chance, an investigation is conducted due to this hacker,
and they check my phone records thoroughly,
they will find out.
But the level of conversation from the hacker is so low-grade
that there's nothing to say.
I don't speak using such low-level language mixed with insults,
nor do I disrespect my boyfriend like that.
We deeply respect and care for each other.
I'm also handling the incident with my boyfriend and the malicious comments and issues about me,
so today, I enjoyed some fresh air and took a walk.
I am now returning to my usual self.
To my fans, please don't be confused
and don't worry about me ^^."
