Finally, "We sincerely apologize for causing inconvenience to the actor during his personal divorce process, and we will do our best to finalize the remaining cases related to Hwang Jeong-eum's private corporation as soon as possible."," he added.

Hwang Jung-eum married Lee Young-don, a professional golfer-turned-businessman who is two years older in 2016 and has two sons. The two went through divorce proceedings once in 2020, but reunited. However, the police were disbanded again in February last year.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jeong-eum recently stirred controversy for embezzling 4.3 billion won worth of company money.




Hwang Jung-eum was indicted without detention in 2022 on charges of taking 700 million won of loans from the agency in the name of provisional payments and investing in cryptocurrency, and embezzling 4.34 billion won in company money until December of that year. The agency is a family corporation in which Hwang Jung-eum owns a 100% stake. Hwang Jung-eum admitted the indictment at the first hearing held on the 15th.

After the news was announced, Hwang Jeong-eum said "I'm sorry to have caused a lot of people to worry about something shameful"I have established and operated an entertainment agency for my entertainment activities. This entertainment agency is a company that I have a 100% stake in, and there has never been a celebrity other than me, and all the profits are from my activities. Around 2021, I was encouraged by people around me to raise the company's funds through coin investment, and I started investing in coins I didn't know well. It was a fund in the name of the company, but I think I made an immature judgment because it was a profit made from my activities."

An agency official is also liquidating the remaining unpaid amount after repayment of a large portion of the amount " (Hwang Jung-eum)""We will do our best to finish the process with the best effort" he said.




However, Hwang Jung-eum was found to have seized 1.8 billion won worth of real estate from a company run by her ex-husband who is filing for divorce, sparking controversy once again.
