What had happened?

The singer’s former manager, who had been connected with the idol for more than a decade, was accused of embezzling money from the company. Not only that, but it was also shared through OSEN reports that he had been caught diverting the sales revenue gotten from VIP tickets as well. The money was then funneled into a bank account that had been set up in his wife’s name.
