Article: "Mamamoo Wheein's father scammed us out of 20 million won -> destroyed our family" Agency... "We are checking into this"

1. [+2,856, -93] Wheein's parents got divorced when she was younger and she cut contact with him and was raised by her grandmother. Seems like a similar situation to Yeeun's where the father is going around selling his daughter's name now that she's famous.
2. [+1,990, -31] This country is overflowing with scammers
3. [+1,827, -25] Wow... we'll have to wait for investigations but this is just nonstop after Microdot... we have a lot of scammers in this country
4. [+138, -3] Wheein grew up with her mother after her parent's divorce when she was younger. Her current father is her step-father. Her bio father has history of almost being sued for trying to contact his ex-wife and Wheein. I remember in an interview Wheein said that she spent her first paycheck on paying back her mother's debt.
5. [+123, -4] This case is a bit different. There's no reason Wheein should have to take responsibility for what her divorced father committed.
6. [+122, -3] He doesn't even live with Wheein and yet he's been selling her name all this time and scamming people... can't believe people like this exist.
7. [+107, -4] This is unfair for Wheein, no? She's been living with her mom this whole time after the divorce.
8. [+80, -4] This is hitting Wheein out of no where... this is a scam committed by a father she has no contact with ㅜㅜ
9. [+72, -4] As controversial as she is, what's wrong is wrong. Wheein is the victim in this as well, don't blame it all on her.
10. [+60, -8] Don't hate on Wheein. Her father's the one in the wrong for doing all this when he divorced and cut contact.

1. [+2,123, -49] This feels wrong... she should not be responsible for her divorced parent's debts
2. [+1,987, -46] I feel bad for Wheein in this..
3. [+1,797, -55] The victim should be talking this out with the father, not Wheein... She's being forced to go through all this for someone who's barely a father to her. They're basically asking Wheein to pay it back but why should she? Don't try to get money out of her just because she's a celebrity...
4. [+87, -0] First Yeeun's father and now this... why would you put your own kids on the line..
5. [+78, -1] I heard Wheein's father was going around bragging about how his daughter is Wheein at his work place, goosebumps...
6. [+71, -2] He's practically a stranger to her, this is different from Microdot's case
7. [+59, -3] No, she's the victim in this too...
8. [+48, -3] I feel bad for the victim but it's pretty obvious they're using Microdot as an opportunity to nail this on Wheein when she did nothing wrong..

1. [+6,201, -51] I feel so bad for Wheein in this
2. [+3,788, -23] Basically a case where a father who's no longer in contact has been using his daughter's name now that she's famous to scam people out of money... Wheein's a victim; her case is more similar to Yeeun's than Microdot's. I don't think the business has ever even met Wheein in real life. I feel bad for the victim and hope they get their money back soon but I don't see why Wheein should be apologizing for this..
3. [+2,254, -39] This is so wrong, isn't it? Everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon now that Microdot got caught. Microdot's only getting hate for bragging about his family's wealth under a scandal like that. In this case, it's the parents who are at fault, not the kids ㅋㅋ
4. [+1,964, -30] Wheein's a victim in this too
5. [+350, -5] I understand that the victims feel like this might be their last hope but their post makes it clear that they knew the father had no contact with Wheein so why bring Wheein into this? I feel bad for her.
