South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum has fully reimbursed 4.3 billion won (approximately $3.2 million) that she was accused of embezzling from company funds. She settled the amount by liquidating her assets and expressed deep remorse, pledging to restore trust. The embezzled money was reportedly invested in cryptocurrency. This repayment resolves the legal dispute related to the embezzlement charges against her. Meanwhile, in a separate case, South Korea has cleared Lee Hyung-soo, CEO of Haru Invest, of fraud allegations involving $650 million.
