Kang Min Kyung’s Agency Issues Statement Denying Artist’s Involvement With Father’s Business And Fraud Accusations

Feb 6, 2023

Kang Min Kyung’s agency has an issued an official response to reports about her father and brother being accused of fraud.

On February 6, a news outlet reported that Kang Min Kyung’s father and brother had been sued for their real estate development company committing fraud.

It was reported that earlier this month, 19 investors filed complaints with the Busan Yeonje Police Station saying that the real estate development company run by Kang Min Kyung’s father and brother had scammed them in September 2017 by promising to develop a forest area within two years in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, where there are no clear development plans. Although they signed a real estate development contract for 1.2 billion won (approximately $954,400), they did not follow through.

Following the initial reports, Kang Min Kyung’s agency WAKEONE shared that they were looking into the matter. Later this day, they released the following statement denying any connection between the artist and her family’s matters:

"Hello. We are informing you from Kang Min Kyung’s agency WAKEONE.

After debuting at 18 years old, Kang Min Kyung has experienced many of her father’s unacceptable financial problems.

Kang Min Kyung, who has suffered greatly due to this, has cut off contact with her father and has never once been involved with her father’s business. Despite that, in order to fulfill her moral responsibility to the victims, she has paid off her father’s debt before.

We inform you that outside of Kang Min Kyung’s promotions as a celebrity and Àvie muah, where she is currently registered as CEO, she is not involved in any business, including investment and development.

We announce that this case is one that Kang Min Kyung was entirely unaware of, and one that is unrelated to her.

In the future, we will respond firmly to issues that arise from stealing or using Kang Min Kyung’s name.

The reason Kang Min Kyung has revealed this truth comes from her hope that there will no longer be any more victims.

We apologize for causing concern to many people with such unfortunate news."
