On September 3, Han So Hee’s management released a statement addressing the legal troubles of her mother, Shin, who was recently arrested for running 12 illegal gambling operations. Shin was apprehended by authorities on September 2, facing accusations of managing illicit gambling dens across Ulsan and Wonju from 2021 until just last month. Shin, known in the gambling world as a “baji president,” allegedly oversaw these operations where patrons could access gambling websites she was connected with, playing games similar to baccarat. Visitors to these venues accessed a gambling site where Shin was the primary distributor. ‘Gyeongseong Creature 2’ Teaser: Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee Gear Up To Face New Terror in Netflix’s Fantasy Horror Drama (Watch Video).

Well, this is not the first case, Shin is entangled with. She had previously been fined for similar offences and faced multiple fraud accusations, including a controversial case in 2020 where she was alleged to have absconded with cash. In response to these allegations, the Gyeongseong Creature actress has clarified her situation. She shared that her parents divorced when she was very young, and she was raised by her grandmother, who later moved to Ulsan during her high school years and relocated to Seoul to pursue her career.

As quoted by Koreaboo, 9ato Entertainment (Han So Hee's agency) said, “We are here to inform you of our position regarding actress Han So Hee’s mother. The reports released yesterday (September 2) are a personal matter done by her mother, and Han So Hee cannot express how devastated she is after hearing the news. We want to emphasize once again that this incident has nothing to do with the actress and is her mother’s arbitrary action. We apologize for bringing uncomfortable news about her personal life that’s not work-related. Thank you.” Gyeongseong Creature Trailer: Park Seo Joon and Han So-hee Fight Riveting Battle Against a Supernatural Foe Amidst Japanese Colonisation (Watch Video)

This statement aims to distance Han So Hee from her mother's legal troubles, highlighting the separation between her personal life and her mother's criminal activities.
