Rumor Has It That Minwoo Of Shinhwa Was Allegedly Duped Out Of Over $2 Million

According to rumors, Minwoo of Shinhwa was deceived into giving up about $2 million USD.

A former famous idol was said to have sued TV screenwriter ‘B’ for 2.6 billion won ($1,927,411.72 USD), which sparked the rumors. The star was allegedly gaslighted into giving him 2.6 billion won in exchange for dropping sexual harassment charges, and ‘B’ has now been sentenced to 9 years in prison for his crimes. The idol was cleared of all charges after a previous trial for molesting two women.

It is said that ‘B’ persuaded the idol that they knew the trial’s prosecutors and would bribe them to favor the idol. ‘B’ retained the funds after receiving them from the idol since he was an idol. The idol was cleared of sexual harassment accusations without the assistance of ‘B,’ according to court records, and ‘B’ had no prior knowledge of the prosecution. The idol borrowed money against his house to pay ‘B,’ who later said the prosecution intended to appeal and contest the innocent verdict.

The narrative revealed that Minwoo had gone on a talk show before, where he had revealed that an acquaintance had gaslighted him and stolen his money. It was revealed on the show that the Shinhwa member had an associate who tried to rob him of his money. They took all the money I earned with malicious purpose. Not only did I know this person well, but they knew my sister as well. It occurred when I was trying to hide from the world since I was going through a tough patch. Their unwavering support during a time when everyone else turned their backs on me made me trust them.

Due to the striking parallels in the stories, internet users are speculating that the “former famous idol” is actually Minwoo of Shinhwa.

Beside a 9-year jail term, ‘B’ must also pay 2.6 billion won in reparations.
