Wheein of MAMAMOO responds to allegations of fraud to his father

On November 27, a message entitled "My father died and my family collapsed because of the father of a member of MAMAMOO" began circulating among online communities.

In the message, the writer stated that the father of the member of MAMAMOO had run a company producing objects such as containers, portable bathrooms and caravans. The writer's father operated a freight company responsible for the transport of the goods.

The Post stated, "When my father was alive, the container company was a major company. But since there was no trust between our companies, we wanted to avoid payment delays. Again and again, he boasted that his daughter was part of a group of girls named MAMAMOO and reassured us [about the payments] like this."

The post continues: "We believed in him to some extent because his daughter was a celebrity and continued our business relationship. But then, payments continued to be deferred. He would push him away another day saying, "I'll pay him back soon! The money will arrive next week and I will refund you right away. With the purchase payments coming later, cargo ships began to put pressure on us in their phone calls. "

The author of the post went on to say that pancreatic cancer had been diagnosed in their father during this financial crisis and that their family had collapsed as a result. "Even in this case, the payments have been postponed," they wrote. "My father died almost three years ago and the debt still has not been paid."

The writer stated that he had sued for 20 million won (about $ 17,700), but the father of the MAMAMOO member had still not taken his responsibilities. They added that they had been forced to use their father's life insurance to pay court fees and transferred a copy of the legal document to the post.

Later that day, RBW, the MAMAMOO agency, issued an official statement on behalf of Wheein, which is believed to be the post office.

The statement said, "I grew up without the support of my biological father. He paid no attention to our family and neglected his duties as head of the family. My family has always suffered unexpected debts that he has incurred.

"My parents divorced in 2012, but a few months ago again, my mother had to live with the reputation of being a delinquent borrower. We have been separated from my father since the divorce, but my mother and I still have to deal with the damage he has done before.

"A few years ago, during my last communication with my biological father, I asked him to try to stop hurting my mother and me and that we should now lead our separate lives. He has tried to contact me several times since then, but I have never noticed him. I have not had any form of exchange or contact with him for many years. Right now, I do not know where he lives, what he does or how he lives.

"Because of this situation, the accusations that were made surprised us a lot. I will talk with my family and work to resolve the situation as much as possible. I apologize to my members of MAMAMOO and to everyone for raising concerns about this controversy. "
