On April 19, YouTube reporter Lee Jin Ho revealed that former T-ara member Lee Ahreum had broken up with her boyfriend, whom she previously claimed she intended to marry after her divorce from her ex-husband.
The former T-ara member and her ex-boyfriend are accused of defrauding fans and acquaintances of 40 million won (28,980.06 USD), with speculation suggesting the funds were used to support a gambling habit. However, Ahreum has provided evidence to Lee Jin Ho alleging that her boyfriend confined her to his home and made threats against her.
Contrarily, recent revelations from the YouTuber indicate that the ex-boyfriend alleges Ahreum orchestrated the scams and threatened him instead.
During a phone conversation with Lee Jin Ho, the ex-boyfriend asserted, “I’ve been victimized by Ahreum. I am a victim,” and shared photos and message exchanges to support his claims. He shared that Lee Ahreum was comfortably eating and drinking in her home. He even claimed she was drinking alcohol despite being pregnant with his child.
