Back in April, it was reported that Pastor Park, who used the fame of his idol daughter to scam the people of his church, got arrested for investment fraud of 20 billion KRW (approximately 17.5 million USD).
At the time, Pastor Park was only identified as a father of a popular girl group member, however, it was soon revealed that he is the father of former Wonder Girls' member Yenny.

'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' covered the controversial issue on the June 5 broadcast. The panelist commented, "He basically used his daughter Yenny for marketing." Another panelist revealed, "I spoke with Yenny after the incident. She was in deep shock and said she doesn't know how to pay back the 20 billion KRW."

You can't even find a picture of Yeeun with her dad, she's never talked about him... they obviously aren't close. I hope she knows this isn't her responsibility, her father should be ashamed.

Damn that sucks, just let your father rot in jail for the rest of his life. Exploiting his daughter is fucked up, the burden isn't yours

This debt shouldn`t be her burden. She didn`t do anything wrong. But of course people are going to crucify her because with knetizens celebrities inherit the sins of their parents. The same thing happened with B.I. The public wanted YG to stop his debut because of what his dad did. Thankfully YG didn`t listen to their bullshit. I hope Yenny`s label does the same. I can`t help but think that this scandal is the reason her and Jinwoon broke up. If that`s the case, I`d be a little disappointed in Jinwoon since they dated for 3 years.

It's a shame that Yenny has to deal with bad press from this just because of guilt by association. It's her father's doing and her father's debt. She shouldn't have to be punished for what he did.

She shouldn't HAVE to pay them back. Her father is responsible for that. Not Yenny.

Hmm. It's a little hard for me to believe Yenny didn't know anything. I hope she didn't I was a fan of the Wonder Girls. She will never be able to pay back the money, IT'S 17.5 MILLION U.S DOLLARS. she probably never made more than 2 million in her whole career and now it's probably over. I hope it's not true.
