A former agent, identified as Mr. Jang, who is accused of deceiving investors into providing large sums of money by falsely claiming to have exclusive rights to Son Heung-min's (34, LAFC) image and advertising rights, has been sued again on charges of hiding assets.

According to NEWSIS on the 25th, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station has launched an investigation after receiving a complaint from A, a representative of an investment firm, accusing Mr. Jang of evading compulsory enforcement. According to the complaint, A's side alleged that after the court issued a compensation ruling, Mr. Jang attempted to hide his assets by transferring the names of other businesses he owned or by deliberately closing them down.

Previously, in 2019, A had paid approximately 5.8 billion won (4.9 million dollars), part of the purchase price, based on an "exclusive agent contract" presented by Mr. Jang, who was operating "Sports United." However, the situation escalated after Son Heung-min's side refuted the claim, stating that they had never granted Mr. Jang exclusive authority, leading A to file a lawsuit demanding the return of the investment funds.

In response, the court ruled that Mr. Jang must compensate A for damages of approximately 600 million won and issued an order to collect funds from Mr. Jang's bank accounts and rental deposits.

Separately, a criminal complaint filed by A against Mr. Jang on charges of fraud, based on the results of the civil lawsuit, is currently being investigated by the Financial Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul National Police Agency. Son Heung-min's father, Mr. Son Woong-jeong, also submitted a petition to the police last month on the 23rd, urging a thorough investigation.

The police plan to focus on determining how the exclusive agent contract in question was actually drafted and whether Mr. Jang intentionally deceived the investor.
