“The matters reported yesterday (September 2nd) regarding Han So Hee’s mother are strictly personal actions taken by her mother.”

Details of the Arrest

On September 2 KST, South Korean prosecutors arrested a 50-year-old woman identified as Shin, who has been confirmed as the mother of Han So Hee. According to reports, Shin has been accused of managing a network of 12 illegal gambling establishments in cities like Ulsan and Wonju, among other locations, from 2021 until the end of last month. The operations were allegedly carried out through proxy managers, allowing the illicit activities to continue for an extended period without direct supervision by Shin.

As this story continues to develop, Han So Hee’s agency has made it clear that the actress is not involved in her mother’s legal troubles and is focused on her professional endeavors.
