This is going to be a long story...

To start off this story, I would like to state that Han Sohee was never raised by her parents. Her biological parents abandon her after they divorced when she was five.
After that when she was five she was taken in by her maternal grandmother and solely raised by her alone ever since.
As far as I am aware her father has always been MIA, and her mother was pretty much MIA as well except for when she needed money.

She never heard from her mother up until she was around 20 when she discovered her mother had taken out multiple loans in her name while she was a minor. It appears when she turned 20 the debt collector people came after her for the money. She then had to spend a ton of time trying paying off these debts her mother made in her name up until she made her acting debut in 2016/17-ish (when she was around 22-23).

Here is a statement from her from 2020 when she was embroiled in her first scandal regarding her mother's illegal activities:​
After I was 20, I found out about my mother's debt, and as a child, I paid off her debts as much as I could, even before my debut." She continued, "Through contacts from the debtors, I found out that my mother had used my name and activities as a shield to borrow money and never paid it back. I think more victims were created because of my negligence, thinking that paying off the debt on her behalf was the only solution."​

Her mothers illegal activities never stopped. In 2022 Han Sohee and her agency had to release yet another statement regarding regarding a fraud case her mother was in because her mother tried to drag her into it causing her to be investigated by police. The statement she released through her agency regarding this was:​
"There were several other cases similar to my mother's fraud case, and there was also a case of forgery of private documents. A series of incidents led to a civil trial, and the court determined that it was unrelated to Han So-hee"​

Recently, on September 2nd it was announced that Han Sohee's mother had been arrested for running over 12 illegal gambling houses throughout South Korea under various ruses.
This also isn't her mother's first run-in with the law. The articles revealed her mother had been sued several times before for fraud, and fined for other similar (illegal gambling) charges.

In regards to this latest crime news about her mother, Han Sohee had no idea about it and first found out through the news.

Han Sohee and her company released this statement recently through news outlets:
"I would like to once again state that this incident has nothing to do with me as an actress and is my mother's arbitrary act. I apologize for having to deliver uncomfortable news regarding my personal matter, not my work." - Han Sohee​

It seems despite Han Sohee's best efforts to distance herself from her mother over the years, her mother has never stopped trying to extort her for money or use her name to extort money from other people.

Another article was released a few hours ago about a youtuber who took a deepdive into this.

Here is a link to the youtube video for anyone who wishes to watch it.
(For credibility sake, the youtuber did mention that at one point he reached out to Han Sohee and got a statement regarding this info).

Some info the video shared was:
- Han Sohee could not attend college due to the financial strain her mother caused her, leading her to go straight into working as a model and later an actress
- She goes back and forth between trying to communicate with her mother and long periods of not talking (she seems to overall has cut her mother out of her life, not that she was ever part of it in the first place).
- Her mother over the years has constantly tried to show up to her and also her company demanding money, causing trouble for the company and innocent company employees.
- Her mother started asking money from her as soon as she got her first job as a model
- Her mother constantly used her name to get money from other people. I believe the company is trying to settle things? But even to this day there are still countless victims who got money extorted by her mother.

This isn't the first time an Korean celebrities parent have tried to use their famous child to extort money. Back in march P1H's Keeho's mother used her son's name to scam over 12 people out of over $800,000 USD.

I hope one day Han Sohee's mother can finally go to jail and Sohee can get peace away from her mother. I also hope her mother's countless victims can get peace.​
