Amid the news of Han Ji Min and Jannabi Choi Jung Hoon’s dating, netizens have begun to dig up the past for Choi Jung Hoon.

Past news of Choi Jung Hoon’s father committing fraud resurfaced on various online community sites after the dating news dropped.

— OP of the online community post

Previously, Choi’s father (65), a CEO of a construction company, was sentenced to three years in prison for committing fraud worth ₩900 million KRW (about $655,000 USD).

Additionally, the director, Mr. A (46), who worked with Choi’s father, was sentenced to one year and six months in prison with three years probation.

As financial difficulties continued for a new building project, Choi’s father and others lied to the victim company C from September to December 2017 that they would give them sales agency rights, local housing association business agency rights, and civil engineering contract rights and embezzled ₩900 million KRW (about $655,000 USD).

The judge determined the case severe, with the defendant making unreasonable excuses for the crime.

The defendant is making excuses and shifting responsibility to the victim’s company. He also embezzled money from the victim with a contract that was unlikely to be fulfilled. The nature of the crime is quite serious.
