Shoo, who was accused of not paying back 600 million won in loans, explained how she ended up with the debt back in August.
“While suffering from the stress of raising children, I went to a hotel to rest and visited a casino for the first time. Without fully understanding the rules, I ended up in debt.”

Two lenders spoke up and claimed that Shoo did not pay back the money that was lent to her, some of which was suspected to be used for gambling. And while she was acquitted of her fraud and domestic gambling suspicions due to special exceptions of her permanent residency in Japan, she was eventually prosecuted on charges of habitual gambling on December 27.

Following her scandal, rumors claiming that she was separated from her husband had also been spreading. When the rumors first broke out in August, Shoo’s husband Lim Hyo Sung denied the rumors.
“Shoo is a good mother and wife. She is pure and unfamiliar with the ways of the world so she made a big mistake but she is reflecting upon herself. People come before money. I will lead my family in the right direction.”

This time around, however, he and Shoo both remain silent, raising suspicions that the couple may have indeed separated.
