Kim Do-hyung, a senior judge at the Wonju Branch of the Chuncheon District Court, sentenced Shin (55), who was indicted on charges of opening a gambling place, to one year in prison and two years of probation, and ordered 120 hours of community service.
Han So-hee's mother, Shin, was put on trial for opening seven gambling sites for profit from the end of January 2022 to the end of August this year.
According to the indictment, Shin opened seven `stores' that offer gambling games by receiving access codes and store manager codes from illegal gambling site members he learned through Telegram. The proceeds generated there, that is, the sum of the fee for taking a certain percentage of the total amount bet by gambling site users and the fee for taking a certain percentage of the amount lost by betting, was collected.
Shin committed the crime by setting up an adult PC game room under the condition of distributing profits in Wonju or conspiring with an adult PC game room operator to let customers gamble online such as baccarat. He operated five illegal gambling centers in Wonju, and a total of seven in Ulsan and Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, one each.
Chief Judge Kim managed and operated a gambling site despite being fined KRW 5 million in 2023 and opened a gambling place by conspiring with a number of game venue operators", he pointed out. "Although it is not clearly stated in the record, the profits obtained by the Defendant are also likely to be significant in light of the game room's operating structure and profit share."
However, he was sentenced to probation of imprisonment in consideration of the fact that he had no similar criminal record other than the one before the fine and that he had not been detained for a certain period of time.
Shin, who was arrested in September, was immediately released after receiving a suspended sentence.
On the other hand, Han So-hee drew the line on her mother's allegations, saying, `The position that she cannot express her miserable feelings after hearing the contents through the article' and `I repeat that this case is her mother's dogmatic affair, which has nothing to do with the actor.' Even at the time of the mother's debt-to-debt controversy "My mother opened a bankbook arbitrarily when Han So-hee was a minor and used the bankbook to borrow money (without Han So-hee's knowledge.""Han So-hee reveals that she has no plans to take responsibility for related debts at all "
