Mother of 'little Song Hye Kyo' sentenced, company immediately launched a 'harsh' preemptive strike

Han So Hee's mother has just been sentenced for opening a gambling den and profiting from the losses of gamblers. It is worth noting that this is not the first time she has violated the law. In response to this news, actress Han So Hee made an important announcement to the media.

On December 25, Nate reported that the Chuncheon District Court (Wonju, South Korea) had issued a verdict against Ms. Shin - Han So Hee's mother - on charges related to establishing and organizing an illegal gambling venue. Accordingly, Ms. Shin was sentenced to 1 year in prison, 2 years of probation, and 120 hours of community service. However, considering that Ms. Shin had no criminal record except for paying a fine for illegal gambling, as well as being detained before trial for a certain period of time, the judge gave Ms. Shin a suspended sentence and released her immediately after the trial.

Ms. Shin was indicted for opening and operating seven casinos for profit from late January 2022 to late August 2023. Prosecutors said Ms. Shin connected with members of an illegal gambling website via Telegram. She then obtained access codes and became the manager and operator of the gambling centers. She earned profits by collecting commissions based on the total amount of bets and losses of players. In addition, Han So Hee's mother also hired "heads" to manage adult gambling centers under a profit-sharing agreement.

Of the seven locations, five were in Wonju, one in Ulsan and one in Gyeongju in South Gyeongsang Province. Shin also hired “heads” to manage the gaming centers or cooperated with operators to organize online games. Despite being fined 5 million won (about $3,800) in 2023 for similar conduct, Shin continued to operate illegal gambling operations. The court said that although the specific amount of profits was not disclosed, the structure of the operation suggested that the proceeds could have been huge.

Because she had been given a warning, she still re-offended. Therefore, the prosecutor requested a sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison for Ms. Shin. Currently, the prosecutor objected and filed an appeal against the court's sentence for Han So Hee's mother because it was too light and not a deterrent. Actress Han So Hee explained at the time: "My parents divorced when I was five years old and I was raised by my grandmother. As her daughter, I paid her back to the best of my ability before debuting."

After news of her mother's arrest broke, Han So Hee's management company, 9Ato Entertainment, released a statement stating that the issue involving the actress's mother was completely personal and had nothing to do with her. They said that Han So Hee only learned about the incident through news reports and felt very sad.

The company emphasized: "We apologize for causing discomfort by releasing information unrelated to her work." Before the news, the online community raised speculations about Han So Hee's relationship with her scandalous mother. Some people saw her suffering when she had to struggle alone to achieve her current success, while others thought she was ungrateful for denying her relationship with her mother as soon as the news of her going to prison broke.

Regarding Han So Hee's background, she lacked love since childhood because her parents divorced when she was 5 years old. After that, the actress was raised by her grandparents. To achieve the success she has today, she went through a long and difficult time and did many manual jobs such as serving, selling clothes... to make a living. Later, when Han So Hee became famous, her biological mother who had abandoned her came to ask her daughter to take on her debt and support her financially.
