Following actor Park Han-byeol, this time it is singer and actress Sung Yu-ri. The so-called "husband risk" has put a brake on activities.
According to the legal community, the prosecution demanded seven years in prison for Ahn Sung-hyun, who was indicted on charges of malpractice and violation of certain economic weighting laws and fraud, at a final hearing held by the 11th Criminal Agreement Division of the Seoul Southern District Court on the 29th of last month. Ahn Sung-hyun, a professional golfer-turned-businessman, is the husband of Sung Yu-ri.
Along with Lee Sang-joon, former CEO of Bithumb Holdings, Ahn Sung-hyun is accused of accepting billions of won from businessman Kang Jong-hyun from September to November 2021, along with a request to list A coin on the exchange Bithumb. They received two luxury watches worth 3 billion won and 400 million won, and 11.5 million won (11,400,000 dollars) in luxury restaurant membership cards from Kang and others.
Sung Yu-ri suspended her activities without any explanation when the controversy over her husband first erupted last year. Since then, Lee Hyo-ri's recent situation has been known by revealing her walking with Sung Yu-ri on her SNS in October last year, and Sung Yu-ri also naturally started communicating with the public again when she posted a post on her SNS.
Earlier this year, he delivered New Year's greetings on social media and appealed for unfairness, saying, "I sincerely pray that the truth about the unfair and hard work that our family is going through will be revealed." However, in the end, the prosecution demanded a prison sentence and was unable to avoid criticism, as well as restricted its own broadcasting activities.
Prior to Sung Yu-ri, actress Park Han-byul was caught by "husband risk" and stopped her activities due to her own will. In 2019, Park Han-byul virtually suspended her activities after the drama "I Love You When You're Sad" when her husband, Yoo In-seok, former CEO of Yuri Holdings, was involved in the Burning Sun incident, and went down to Jeju after organizing her life in Seoul.
Actor Jang Shin-young also had to be restricted from her activities for a certain period due to the controversy over her husband's affair with actor Kang Kyung-joon. Kang Kyung-joon was sued by A for damages worth 50 million won in December last year, and A pointed out Kang as a man who had an affair with his wife.
Kang Kyung-joon was found to accept A's claim in a lawsuit for alimony and pay 50 million won. However, Kang Kyung-joon said, "I did not admit the injustice," adding, "In the process of arguing over facts, I accepted the other party's claim because it was difficult to endure any more situations that hurt and inconvenience the other party, family, and those watching it."
Jang Shin-young, who did not appear at all after the controversy over Kang Kyung-joon erupted, said on her SNS in September, "We had a painful time that was difficult to move to, but we are only trying to live in a family again for the children." Later, he returned to the show through SBS's "My Ugly Baby."
Sung Yu-ri, Park Han-byul, and Jang Shin-young have all solidified their positions by steadily working without much controversy since their debut. However, "husband risk" has been hampered. Ethical consciousness is a basic skill that everyone should have, but especially if the spouse is a celebrity, it seems that they should be more cautious in their actions with the idea that the social controversy they caused can isolate the other person from society.
