It is reported that Ms. Yuk, the biological mother of trot singer Jang Yoon-jung, who has already cut ties with her daughter, committed fraud by selling Jang Yoon-jung's name.

On June 30, JTBC's 'Event Manager' covered Ms. Yuk's fraudulent activities under the title 'Famous Singer's Mother, All-Around Scam'.

According to the report, Jang Yoon-jung's mother, Ms. Yuk, told victims that they would make money if they invested in 'Miss Trot,' in which Jang Yoon-jung appeared, by selling her daughter's name. Ms. Yuk maintained contact with victims she met at a public bathhouse, collected tens of millions of won under the guise of investment funds, and used two mobile phones to fabricate messages, making it appear as though Jang Yoon-jung had sent her KakaoTalk messages, thereby deceiving the victims.

_NAME_0__The victim's daughter, who had come to believe the deception, reported the case to the police. It was later revealed that, in addition to this victim, another person had already been defrauded using the same method and filed a criminal complaint.

In response, the 'Event Manager' team received a statement from Jang Yoon-jung's side. Jang Yoon-jung, who has not communicated with Ms. Yuk for over a decade and had declined interviews regarding her mother, expressed concern that another victim might emerge and stated, "I am not in contact with my mother."

The victim's side also reportedly understands that this incident is entirely unrelated to Jang Yoon-jung and that the police are currently investigating the case.

The history of conflict between Jang Yoon-jung, her mother, and her younger sibling is long.

In May 2013, just before her wedding, Jang Yoon-jung was engulfed in rumors of family discord. Appearing on SBS's 'Healing Camp' on May 20 of that year, she stated, "My parents filed for divorce, and while sorting out their assets, I discovered that all my property had disappeared and I was left with debts amounting to hundreds of millions of won." In response, her biological mother, Ms. Yuk, and her younger sibling, Ms. Jang, countered that they had not squandered Jang Yoon-jung's assets and that Jang Yoon-jung had cut off contact after leaving home. Ms. Yuk later engaged in media maneuvers, such as sending direct emails to news outlets.

Prior to this, Ms. Yuk had filed a lawsuit against Jang Yoon-jung's former agency, Inwoo Production, demanding the return of 700 million won she claimed had been lent. At the time, the court ruled that "Ms. Yuk managing Jang Yoon-jung's money did not grant her ownership rights," siding with Inwoo Production. Jang Yoon-jung won part of a lawsuit seeking the return of hundreds of millions of won filed against her younger sibling, Ms. Jang.
