Yang Chi-seung Opens Up About Business Concerns After $1.5 Billion Fraud

Yang Chi-seung, who recently fell victim to a $1.5 billion rental scam, shares his business concerns.

On the 12th episode of SBS Plus's 'Mystical Story 2', airing on the 24th at 10:30 PM, guests Yang Chi-seung and Shin Soo-ji explore the theme of 'negative energy'.

Yang introduces himself as "fitness trainer Yang Chi-seung," but quickly corrects himself, saying, "Not anymore. I'm now an office worker, Yang Chi-seung."

He shares, "I tripped on the stairs on my way here. The negative energy seems too strong. I thought I had strong energy too..." showing his nervousness. However, the shamans respond unexpectedly, saying, "You're not strong. You seem gentle."

Yang expresses his concerns, "I work at a company but continue my business. I'm worried about being scammed again. My biggest question is, what is my business fortune this year?"

The shaman, after observing Yang, comments, "You seem to be the most pitiful," which brings Yang to tears. The shaman adds, "It was a blow you were bound to face. It's better to face it early. You don't want this happening when you're older," offering comfort while candidly discussing his business fortune.

Yang Chi-seung recently suffered a loss of approximately $1.5 billion due to a building rental scam, leading to the closure of his gym. The building was constructed under a condition of donation, requiring it to be handed over to Gangnam District Office after 20 years of free use, a fact Yang claims he was unaware of at the time of the contract. Recently, Yang announced his new position as a managing director of a 10 billion-dollar apartment community.
