Former T-ara's Ahreum indicted on suspicion of fraud

Former T-ara member Ahreum has been indicted on the suspicion of fraud.

According to reports, the Gwangmyeong Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced that Ahreum has been indicted on charges of fraud and is currently under investigation. A police official stated, "Ahreum's statement has been taken, and we plan to proceed with further investigation."

This past April, a group of alleged victims of Ahreum's fraud filed a complaint with the Ulsan Dongbu Police Station. In the complaint, the alleged victims stated Ahreum did not repay money they loaned her by the agreed upon date. One alleged victim Hwang stated Ahreum had borrowed approximately 30 million won ($21827.23 USD) over 20 transactions from March 3 to March 9, 2024.

Hwang stated, "The principal amount borrowed was 27.5 million won, and there was a long-term credit card loan involved in lending them money. Since I used small mobile payment cash advances, there were fees. They needed to send the 30 million won promptly to prevent the amount of interest from increasing."

The alleged victim further claimed Ahreum deliberately approached her emphasizing the exposure of her profession to the public. What's especially shocking is Hwang is known to have been a fan of T-ara since 2009.

As previously reported, Ahreum and her ex-boyfriend faced allegations of fraud earlier this year. Ahreum is also facing child abuse accusations, which she personally denied.
