Actress Kim Bu-seon is embroiled in a lawsuit seeking the return of approximately 200 million won in loans related to financial transactions with a deceased individual.

According to Sports Kyunghyang on the 17th, the parents of the deceased person A filed a loan repayment lawsuit against Kim Bu-seon through Seoul Dongbu District Court. The family side reportedly claimed that A transferred about 199.74 million won to Kim between 2013 and last year and should recover a significant portion of it.

A mediation session was held in May prior to the trial, but no agreement was reached. At the first trial session held on the 14th, both sides disputed whether the money in question was lent or given as support without any obligation for repayment.

Kim Bu-seon's side acknowledged borrowing about 80 million won but claimed that 0.1 billion won has already been repaid, leaving a current debt of 70 million won. They further stated that regular monthly transfers and money received on birthdays or holidays were support given between close acquaintances and thus carry no obligation for repayment.

In contrast, the family side argued it is difficult to accept the claim that over 100 million won was transferred without any agreement for repayment despite the two not being in a romantic relationship. They maintained that Kim Bu-seon had repeatedly borrowed money urgently and repaid it in the past, making it impossible to arbitrarily distinguish between loans and support.

In connection with this matter, a provisional seizure of approximately 200 million won was also placed on Kim Bu-seon's apartment in Okseong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
