On the 1st, producer Choi Byung-gil explained the situation by posting a message on his SNS, "'We want to correct the misunderstanding that is rising up in the street.'"
He said "The debt owed to Seo Yu-ri was not used personally, but was invested in the 'Rona Universe' project in which Seo Yu-ri and I had a 50:50 stake"I spent a lot of my personal money, but I ended up in bankruptcy due to the deterioration of my business management."
The financial damage situation was then reported, saying, `Although the shares were halved, I was responsible for all the business debts, and my own house in Yeouido was sold at a bargain price and my house in Yongsan was auctioned off.'
In addition, PD Choi "Anyway, I would like to make it clear that I will take responsibility for the debt that I have decided to pay back to you and that this situation did not occur because I personally misappropriated your money."," he stressed.
Meanwhile, Choi Byung-gil became a legal couple with voice actor Seo Yu-ri in 2019, but divorced in March last year after five years of marriage.
Seo Yu-ri said that she has paid off 1.3 billion won of the approximately 2 billion won in debt left by Choi Byung-gil due to the financial conflict that occurred during her marriage, and that she has recently repaid some of the loans.
