A, a popular idol group member, is in a difficult situation because of his father.

In April, the Seoul Administrative Court rejected B's request to lift the ban on leaving the country by citing A.

B is accused of committing investment fraud by baiting high-yield guarantees for a year and five months from September 2022. It is known that the amount of money that B stole from the victims amounted to 291.9 billion won. As a result, B was ordered to ban him from leaving the country. Then, B demanded that the ban on leaving the country be lifted because his second son, A, is an idol group member.




Mr. B faithfully cooperated with the investigation, and his family lives in Korea, and his second son is working as an idol singer, so there is no fear of escaping abroad. The ban on leaving the country is expected to hurt the company's management, but the court refused to accept it.
