Singer Jang Yoon-jung's mother, 60-year-old Yook, who was sued on suspicion of investment fraud, is reportedly currently missing.

JTBC's current affairs program 'Case Manager' covered the issue in its June 30 broadcast of episode 2881, alleging that Yook recently committed investment fraud using her estranged daughter Jang Yoon-jung's name. Yook allegedly collected tens of millions of won from a person named A, whom she met at a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), by claiming, "If you invest in 'Miss Trot,' which Jang Yoon-jung appeared in, you will make money." However, on the day Yook promised to repay the money to A, she evaded the request by appealing to her emotions, saying, "I have a situation and cannot give you the money. I want to die and I am struggling."

Eventually, A's daughter, who learned of this fraud incident, filed a lawsuit against Yook in April.

In this matter, lawyer Park Ji-hoon stated, "A fraud case involving Yook in April was filed with the police, but a problem has arisen. This is what is called 'no signs of life.' There are no records of Yook using her ID card or credit cards. Because there are no signs of life, the investigation has been halted due to unknown whereabouts. What this means is that there is a possibility she has died, or it could mean she is not using her name at all. However, not using her name is not easy. It is impossible for her to completely disappear."

Park added, "This is a highly urgent situation right now. If anyone watching this broadcast knows Yook's whereabouts, we hope they will report it quickly to either 'Case Manager' or the police."

Jang Yoon-jung had long ago cut ties with her mother, Yook. Conflicts over property issues erupted around 2013, and at that time, it was reported that Yook was arrested on suspicion of fraud. In response, Jang Yoon-jung's side issued an official statement to 'Case Manager,' saying, "We have never directly contacted our mother for the past several decades."
