Group DJ DOC member Lee Ha-neul revealed her financial struggles.

On the 13th, a video titled "Difficult Periods During Entertainment Activities (After Divorce and Through the Pandemic)" was uploaded to Lee Ha-neul's YouTube channel.

Lee Ha-neul stated that her life became difficult following her younger brother's death and subsequent conflicts within the group. She said, "While performing with DJ DOC, I always thought we could earn money anytime and that what we had was enough. We had savings and lived feeling secure, but after my divorce, I liquidated all cash assets and gave them away."

She continued, "I lived thinking 'we can just earn more,' but when my younger brother passed away, conflicts arose with Chang-yeol, and DJ DOC events were canceled. Our primary income source disappeared, making things difficult, and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, freezing even the occasional events we had."

Lee Ha-neul also said, "When DOC was active, we signed contracts for several concerts and received an advance payment of several hundred million won. That's called an advance. But when DOC stopped activities, the company demanded repayment of that contracted amount. There was a demand to return approximately 200 million won."

She revealed that for three years, she consistently spent 15 to 0.2 billion won monthly and used her savings to cover several hundred million won in expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lee Ha-neul added, "Finally, I even had to do internet broadcasting. Chang-yeol handled his own affairs, and I settled mine. Jaeyong was in a difficult situation at the time, so he asked me to delay his obligations and offered to guarantee them, which I did. We managed to survive for one year that way."

In 2021, Lee Ha-neul claimed that the death of her younger brother, 45RPM member Lee Hyun-bae, was Kim Chang-yeol's fault, leading to conflicts with him. In December 2023, she had previously mentioned the discord on her YouTube channel 'Choi Mu-bae TV.' Lee Ha-neul revealed that while she and other DJ DOC members invested in a guesthouse, Kim Chang-yeol reneged on the agreement, forcing Lee Hyun-bae to assume the investment. She argued that Chang-yeol was responsible for Hyun-bae's death.

Currently, Lee Ha-neul is operating a restaurant with DJ DOC member Jung Jae-yong.
