The triple star announced the results of the police investigation on his personal account on the 19th, and around this time last year, when he was over-loved, the results of the alleged embezzlement by his ex-wife came out. In September, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul notified the results of the non-transmission (no charges) investigation, and the police recently confirmed the decision without charges.'
"In the meantime, I have secured evidence that can be refuted through cell phone forensics and others, but I have remained silent on various speculations that are not true. The rebuttal has no choice but to contain the personal content of his ex-wife, not a public figure, because he did not want to affect his new life. However, based on unfounded rumors on the Internet, we will respond to maliciously criticized articles through legal procedures."
Triple Star will also do her best to become a better chef based on the much support and love she has gained from the "Black and White Chef" and the lessons she has learned from the long legal battle over the past year," he added.
Triple Star gained popularity when it ranked third in the Netflix cooking survival program 「Black and White Cook」, which aired in September last year. However, in November last year, his ex-wife A sued Triple Star for using part of the public money to repay her father's debt without permission, which became controversial. In addition, the controversy intensified as the media raised suspicions of privacy issues based on the claims of triple star's ex-wife A and B.
The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul decided not to send it to the prosecution early last month after judging that there was no consultation on embezzlement of triple stars for work. It is difficult to see it as embezzlement arising from the partnership that his ex-wife A claimed, adding that Triple Star repaid all 150 million won in loans due to the relationship between creditors and debtors. The police judge that there is no basis for the suspicion of privacy.
