Park Min-young, what about her next project? “Simply summoning a reference.”

On the 15th, Park Min-young's agency, Hook Entertainment, issued an official statement and said, "We confirm that Park Min-young faithfully completed the prosecution's subpoena investigation as a mere reference on the 13th, and is not currently banned from leaving the country."
Previously, on the 14th, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office summoned Park Min-young as a witness while investigating suspicions of embezzlement of company money by executives of Bithumb affiliates.
The prosecution investigated whether Park Min-young was involved in the process of businessman Kang Jong-hyeon, the actual owner of a Bithumb affiliate, making unfair profits through manipulation of the affiliates' stock prices and embezzlement. Through this, it was reported that Park Min-young's name was used in borrowed-name transactions on convertible bonds issued by Bithumb affiliates, and that hundreds of millions of won in profits were made.
Park Min-young was rumored to be dating Kang Jong-hyun, known as a 'reclusive wealthy man', in September of last year, but two days later, she announced through her agency that they had broken up. Park Min-young is contemplating her next work after finishing last year's drama 'Mon, Wednesday, Fri, Tue, Thu, Sat'.
