Latest News: Park Min Young’s bank account is frozen!!
Park Min Young is facing the biggest scandal of her life!!
On February 14, Sports Donga reported that Park Min Young was investigated and banned from leaving the country for being related to Kang Jong Hyun – who is suspected of being the real owner of the Bithumb virtual currency exchange. Kang Jong Hyun is Park Min Young’s ex-boyfriend and was arrested before for fraud and embezzlement.
According to South Korean media, the prosecutor is investigating whether Park Min Young participated in Kang Jong Hyun’s stock price manipulation and embezzlement process. Prosecutors discovered Park Min Young’s name was used in a Bithumb bond conversion transaction. The actress even earned hundreds of millions of won in profits.
However, when working with the prosecutor on February 13, Park Min Young confirmed that the loan transaction was not related to her.
Previously, in 2022, it was reported that Park Min Young’s sister worked as an outsourcing director at a Bithumb branch. Meanwhile, Kang Jong Hyun’s younger sister is the executive director of this branch.
In addition to Park Min Young’s summons, the prosecutor is expanding the investigation into Bithumb affiliates. In addition, Park Min Young was banned from leaving the country. Prosecutors are considering continuing to summon Park Min Young for additional investigation.
update:
In addition, the police issued an order to freeze Park Min Young’s bank account to continue the investigation.
The freezing of an account in Korea is seen as nullifying a citizen’s liquidity and suspending all transactions of that person during the review of the case.
When investigating virtual currency transactions in Korea, the authorities may use a variety of tools and techniques to gather information and evidence. They may examine the blockchain, which is a public ledger that records all cryptocurrency transactions, to trace the flow of funds and it’s important to note that virtual currency transactions are complex and can involve parties from different jurisdictions. As a result, investigations can be challenging and time-consuming, and it may take some time for the authorities to gather all of the necessary information and evidence.
