Han So-hee's mother has been arrested for allegedly operating 12 illegal gambling establishments across South Korea since 2021, prompting significant media attention. Her agency, 9ato Entertainment, emphasized that Han So-hee had no involvement in her mother's actions and learned of the arrest through the news, leaving her devastated. This incident marks the latest chapter in a tumultuous relationship, as Han So-hee previously faced legal troubles due to her mother's financial issues, including a 40 million KRW loan taken out in her name. Reports indicate that Han's mother has a history of legal problems, including prior fraud convictions. The actress has publicly distanced herself from her mother, asserting that she does not intend to take responsibility for her mother's debts, a stance reiterated by her agency. The controversy has reignited scrutiny of Han So-hee's past and the challenges she faced growing up without a stable relationship with her mother.
