KARA's Park Gyuri Speaks Up About Having No Involvement In Ex-Boyfriend's Fraud Case

Feb 22, 2023

KARA’s Park Gyuri has spoken up about her frustrations following the reports of her ex-boyfriend’s fraud case.

Previously on February 20, Park Gyuri released a statement through her agency sharing that she gave a witness statement for the ongoing investigation for her ex-boyfriend’s cryptocurrency fraud case. She stated, “Throughout the statement, I clearly stated that I did not engage in any illegal activity related to the cryptocurrency business and did not obtain any unfair advantages.”

On February 22, Park Gyuri took to Instagram to share her thoughts. Her post reads as follows:

Writing and erasing what I write several times a day, creating all sorts of sentences in my mind and removing them and repeating this, I am writing this post because everything came cascading down while I was reading the article titles yesterday and today. There was a lot I wanted to say but didn’t. The people around me comforted me by saying that the situation will improve before long if I endure.

That’s what I used to think—what more could there be to it? But every time the new year came around, I would run across a big s**t as if I was being laughed at, and every time that happened, I would [be mentioned in] the titles of reports instead of “him” and became his shield, and the people would say things as they please like empty gangjeong (rice puff crackers) as they click on these provocative titles while I would have to endure everything with my mouth shut due to the nature of my career.

As I try to leave everything behind to live diligently while breathing a little, something comes up to get me mixed up and dragged down, and after I barely recover to try to work hard at something again, I get involved [in something that] explodes again, so I am now afraid to even try something new in life. If I did something wrong, I think my biggest fault is that I did not end that relationship earlier.

I am now headed to the Japan fan meeting that was scheduled way long before this. As I revealed through the official statement, I have nothing to do with [the case], and I hope people do not condemn others as if they are running away and that they write based on the facts that have been revealed.

Honestly, I don’t want to do anything, and these days I have no motivation. The person who made the real mistake will be doing well in the background, and all this feels so unfair, and I am frustrated. I want to breath. I am sorry to fans and my members, and there is work that needs to be finished, so I can’t leave as I please either. Please help so that I don’t lose my remaining sanity.
