Actress Han So Hee has officially revealed that she was born in 1993, not the previously reported 1994. This change in information is linked to her family's difficult situation.

On October 31, a spokesperson from Han So Hee's agency, 9ato Entertainment, spoke to Star News about her past.

They explained that when she was about to start her fourth year of school, her mother was wanted by the police, which forced Han So Hee to move to Ulsan.

The agency added, "After that, she had to stop her studies and spent a year at home. Once her mother was imprisoned, she returned to Wonju and went back to school as a fourth-year student."

Han So Hee's mother, Shin, was arrested for running an illegal gambling operation. Reports say she managed 12 gaming locations in Ulsan and Wonju from 2021 until the end of August this year.

During this tough time, Han So Hee's team stated, "This was a very personal issue caused by her mother, and Han So Hee was heartbroken to hear about it in the news." They stressed that the incident is completely unrelated to the actress and is solely her mother’s doing.

Han So Hee also faced controversies regarding her mother's debts. In 2020, it was alleged that Shin disappeared with money from a savings group.

Han So Hee said back then, "As the daughter of my grandmother, I felt it was my duty to pay off the debts as much as I could before my debut. I believed that paying off the debts was the only solution, and I’m sorry if this caused more victims."

The debt issues returned in March 2022, with both Shin and Han So Hee being sued. It was reported that someone, referred to as A, deposited 31 million won into bank accounts in Han So Hee's name at Shin's request.

In response to this, the agency explained, "Shin secretly used a bank account in Han So Hee's name to borrow money. She opened the account without consent when Han So Hee was a minor, and it was used for borrowing money."

They also confirmed that Han So Hee cut ties with her mother long ago, adding, "Han So Hee has no plans to take responsibility for the debts. We will take all necessary steps to stop her mother from using her daughter's name to borrow money and take advantage of her fame."

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
