Problems about actress Han So Hee and her mother debt issue have returned once again. This time, someone had reported the actress to the police. What REALLY happened, and what did the Court finally decide about actress Han So Hee and the mother debt issue? Here’s the COMPLETE story.
Seoul Police Received Report Against Actress Han So Hee for Her Mother Debt Issue
In the middle of her tremendously busy schedule with a new “Soundtrack #1” drama with Park Hyun Sik, actress Han So Hee must experience a challenging situation ONCE AGAIN regarding her mother’s debt.
On March 2, JTBC Korean media reported that Seoul’s Bangbae Police had received a report against a Korean celebrity’s mother. The report said that the celebrity’s mother had committed fraud with the amount of 85 million won (approximately 70,000 USD).
And apparently, this case turned out to be actress Han So Hee and her mother’s debt case.
What REALLY Happened to Han So Hee’s Mother?
Regarding this case, former reporter Lee Jin Ho revealed that the above case was actually actress Han So Hee and her mother’s debt. According to the report, Han So Hee’s mother had borrowed 85 million won from her acquaintance from February 2018 to September 2019. She then promised to return the money with a large amount of interest.
However, Han So Hee’s mother ended up refusing to pay the debt.
Further in his explanation, Lee Jin Ho also stated that the mother had borrowed the money using the bank account under Han So Hee’s name. According to Lee Jin Ho, Han So Hee’s mother stated that she had created the bank account when Han So Hee was still a minor and used it only for a few months when she couldn’t use her own.
In the police report, Han So Hee’s mother and the plaintiff disputed over the total amount of her mother’s debt. That is because there was no contract involved when Han So Hee’s mother borrowed the money from her acquaintance.
“It is my fault that I didn’t repay borrowed money in time. I’ll work hard to repay my debts without filing bankruptcy.”

It’s NOT The First Time
This is NOT the first time for Han So Hee and her mother’s debt issue to come in light. Previously after her success in “The World of the Married”, Han So Hee apologized on her personal blog.
Further in her statement, Han So Hee revealed she only knew about the debt when she was 20 years old. After all, Han So Hee had no contact with her parents since she was 5 years old after her parents divorced. Instead, her grandmother has raised her ever since.
“Han So Hee’s parents divorced when she was 5 years old, and her grandmother raised her. After that, she and her grandmother came to Ulsan with her mother at 17. However, her mother did not see her often.”

Actress Han So Hee Worked 12/6 to Pay Off Her Mother’s Debt
After the issue about actress Han So Hee and her mother’s debt returned to the surface, former reporter Lee Jin Ho shed some light on what had truly happened.
On March 7, Lee Jin Ho revealed on his YouTube channel that actress Han So Hee had actually paid off about 20 million won of her mother’s debt when she was not yet famous. Actress Han So Hee had worked 12 hours a day from 6 PM to 6 AM at a pub for 6 days a week to pay off her mother’s debt.
However, instead of regretting her decisions, her mother borrowed MORE money in Han So Hee’s name. She even forged some documents and used Han So Hee as collateral. That is why Han So Hee decided to cut off her relationship with her mother.
“Han So Hee spent all of her money, but coming back was another debt news from her mother. Apparently, those debts have grown out of control since her debut. So, she drew a line with her mother.”

What The Court Said About Han So Hee and Her Mother’s Debt Issue
And finally, on March 8, Korean media reported that the Ulsan Court had made decision regarding actress Han So Hee and her mother debt issue. The Ulsan District Court had rejected the plaintiff’s argument that Han So Hee is liable for her mother debt issue.
According to the Court, Han So Hee mother debt issue had nothing to do with the actress. In the court ruling obtained by Dispatch in first and second trials, the Ulsan Court stated that the mother debt issue happened regardless of Han So Hee.
“It happened regardless of Han So Hee. And there is no evidence to suggest that she was involved.”

The Court also mentioned that Han So Hee’s text message, which merely said, “Mom, I’ll do my best to help,” was also not liable as collateral.
“Han So-hee’s text message is only about helping her mother pay back her existing debts. Therefore, we cannot accept that she has granted her agency rights on joint guarantees.”

Actress Han So Hee Does NOT Plan to Take Responsibility for Her Mother’s Debt Issue
Following the Ulsan District Court decision, Han So Hee’s 9ATO Entertainment agency released an official statement. The agency stated that Han So Hee does not plan to take responsibility for her mother debt issue. That is because what happened to Han So Hee mother debt issue was intentional. That is why she wants to prevent further cases so her mother cannot borrow more money with claims that her daughter is a famous celebrity.
“Han So Hee stated that she has no plans to take responsibility for her mother’s debts. This is because her mother tried to use her name to borrow money. Therefore, she intends on trying to stop the series of acts where an individual tries to get money by abusing the celebrity status of their children.
It’s true, Han So Hee cannot completely cut moral relationship ties between a mother and daughter. And we are sorry to those who unintentionally will be hurt by this. However, we hope that something like this will never repeat through this strong response. Please understand.”
