According to one media outlet on the 2nd, Mr. A, the representative of Solbi's agency, said, "I heard that Ji-an Kwon became close to professional golfer B while appearing on a golf broadcast in 2021," and "Afterwards, CEO Ra and professional golfer B attended an exhibition held by the company. , Mr. C of the gang came with us,” he said.
He added, "CEO Ra suggested purchasing six works worth about 5 million won per store, for a total of 30 million won, and investing the money from selling the paintings."
Mr. A said, “I remember that it meant reinvesting the money from selling the painting into their own account.”
Regarding the reason for refusing the investment, he said, "I couldn't understand what the person was saying when he recommended investment," and "I refused because I thought his tone and behavior were unreliable and strange."
He added, "In the case of Kwon Ji-an, he is very worried and cautious, and he does not even have a stock account. He does not sweat and is not interested in making money."
Broadcaster Noh Hong-cheol also received an investment offer from stock manipulators who approached him through golf lessons, but he declined. FNC Entertainment, the agency, said, "Noh Hong-chul was offered investment, but he declined it," and added, "It has nothing to do with this incident."
