On January 27, the entertainment company that was suspected of being related to Free Zia's father made a statement through its website.

Person A, who said that he was working at the entertainment establishment, said, "From three days ago, the number of visitors suddenly increased exponentially and the server went down."

Person A said that there were rumors circulating in the entertainment establishment where he was working that Free Zia's father was the sales manager. 

In addition, Person A said that he had never seen Free Zia's father while working in a room salon for about 20 years.

Person A emphasized once again that it has nothing to do with Free Zia's father and the entertainment establishment where he works.

He even revealed his phone number, saying that people can contact him at any time if people want to check the truth.

On January 23, on the YouTube channel 'Entertainment Manager', Kim Yong Ho, a former entertainment reporter, said that Free Zia's father was not a dentist.

Recently, suspicions have been raised on YouTube and online communities that Free Zia's father is the president of an entertainment establishment. 

A number of posts claiming that Free Zia's father played a role in managing female employees at an entertainment establishment in Busan have been controversial. 

When suspicions surfaced that Free Zia's father was the head of a room salon in Haeundae, on January 26th, Hyowon CNC, the agency of Free Zia, said through various media, "We have nothing to say (about the matter)."

Meanwhile, Free Zia is currently on hiatus after acknowledging the controversy over wearing fake luxury goods.

Actor Chun Jung Myung has opened up about a devastating betrayal by his former manager, who swindled tens of billions of won from his family. The former manager, who had been trusted like family, is now serving prison time for his actions.

In the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung shared the shocking details of his financial fraud ordeal with fellow cast members Lee Sang Min and Kim Heechul.

He explained, "I was financially defrauded by the manager I had worked with for 16 years since my debut. He forged documents to steal money and even caused huge financial losses for my parents."

A close source confirmed on December 9, "The manager mentioned on the show ultimately couldn’t repay the damages and is now serving his prison sentence for fraud."

The source also revealed that Chun Jung Myung suffered losses in the tens of billions of won. The emotional toll was severe, leading to social anxiety, and he even considered retiring from the entertainment industry due to the devastating betrayal.

Chun Jung Myung debuted in 1999 with the drama School 2 and became a household name with roles in Beijing, My Love, Fashion 70s, and What's Up Fox? However, after his role in the 2019 drama Urban Cops: KCSI, he suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, sparking concerns from fans.

An entertainment agency CEO weighed in, saying, "Celebrities, especially those with limited real-world experience, are vulnerable to scams because of their public status. Some get trapped and lose vast amounts of money after being used as figureheads."

An entertainment law expert added, "Fraud cases are tricky because proving the intent to steal is difficult. If someone makes an enticing offer, always ask, ‘Why me and not them?’ Skepticism is key."
