SECHS KIES’ Kang Sunghoon Faces Charges Over Fraud And Embezzlement
SECHS KIES’ fans have pressed charges against Kang Sunghoon’s individual fan club, Hoony World, over fraud and embezzlement.
Approximately 70 SECHS KIES fans submitted a formal complaint against Kang Sunghoon and Hoony World at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office on November 12 for embezzling charity funds from SECHS KIES’ ticket sales in 2017. According to the chief, Hoony World deceived fans by embezzling the profits from SECHS KIES’ 20th-year-anniversary event (April 15, 2017) ticket sales that were meant to be given to charity.
On March 6, 2017, Hoony World shared a post on their official homepage explaining the details to the charity funds and ticket sales profits for the “SECHS KIES 20th-year-anniversary screening”. The post stated that the profits from the ticket sales would be given to charity under SECHS KIES.
The fans who are pressing charges explained that they entrusted a total of 100 million KRW ($88,000 USD) but that Hoony World was not completely transparent in their spendings.
“We transferred about 100 million KRW ($88,000 USD) in ticket purchase fees and donations to the Forever 2228 (fan club name) account from March 6 to April 15, 2017. But the funds received from the victims were not used appropriately and were embezzled.”
