The story of broadcaster Park Soo-hong's financial betrayal by his family is drawing attention again.

On tvN 'Free Doctor', which aired on the 4th, we talked about 'Journalists' Scoop Behind-the-scenes Entertainment Events and Accidents'.

Reporter Ahn Jin-yong said 'Controversy over alleged embezzlement of the Park Soo-hong family' is the most unforgettable scoop.




Reporter Ahn Jin-yong said "4 years later, the case is still in a legal dispute" At first, I felt Park Soo-hong becoming more and more emaciated, but I didn't know why" From one day on, Park Soo-hong became noticeably emaciated. I didn't know why as every day was drying up. However, Park Soo-hong began to show his emotions. For example, he was sensitive to content related to his family and manager. I could feel the emotion coming up,' he recalled. Meanwhile, Park Soo-hong contacted reporter Ahn Jin-yong to meet him, and said that for the first time, he shared his shocking concerns related to his family.

Park Soo-hong is usually "I don't have any worries. The family does everything on their own. All I have to do is workThe confession was a huge shock because it was known that there was a deep trust in the family.

Reporter Choi Jung-ah also recalled the situation at the time and said, `My expression was getting worse and worse and my skin was in contact with each other. Park Soo-hong's health looked so bad that viewers were worried, he said.




We then met later and talked about expensive vacuum cleaners. When I said, 'I want to buy this, but it's too expensive', Park Soo-hong sighed and said, 'I really wanted to buy that vacuum cleaner, so I looked into it, but all my family members were there except me'. Now that I think about it, they were all meaningful stories. At the time, Park Soo-hong added, `I was nervous to buy something like this.' Park Soo-hong was not able to spend the money he earned from his work.

Meanwhile, Park's brother Park is on trial for embezzling company money and billions of won in Park's funds while in charge of Park's management from 2011 to 2021. In the first trial, he was convicted of embezzling 2 billion won in company money and sentenced to two years in prison, but he was found not guilty of charges of 1.6 billion won in his younger brother's personal funds. Both sides appealed to this, and at the 6th trial of the appeals court held on June 13, Park and his wife admitted to embezzling company money.

The seventh trial of the appeals court is scheduled to be held on August 20.
