A celebrity couple has become embroiled in a shocking scandal after allegations emerged online claiming they left a beauty salon without paying for services worth several million won.
The salon owner alleged the incident through an online post, which has now gone viral.
The salon owner, referred to as A, described how the celebrity, along with their husband, parents, siblings, and several lawyers, visited the salon and received hair services amounting to approximately 3.5 million won[/krww]. However, they allegedly left without settling the bill.
Ms. A further explained that when payment was requested, the group made peculiar excuses. The salon owner noted that while some people still recognize the celebrities, their lack of activity since 2016 or 2017 means many do not. Frustrated and unsure of the next steps, A considered whether to report the incident to the police or the media.
In a follow-up post, A revealed that after taking a firm stance, the celebrity eventually sent the payment. However, they only transferred 70% of the owed amount, claiming a discount. When A demanded the full amount, the celebrity cut off all contact.
According to the post, this is not the first time the couple has faced legal issues. In 2021 and 2022, they were involved in both civil and criminal trials over allegations of fraud involving a luxury boutique at a department store. It is suspected that the couple visited A’s salon with the lawyer who assisted them in those cases.
The story has sparked outrage among other small business owners, who expressed their support for A. In fact, many believe the issue should be publicized to prevent similar incidents.
