Actress Cha Ye-ryeon (41, real name Park Hyun-ho) has seen red flags raised over her activities after being embroiled in school violence allegations following margin investing (investing with debt).

Cha had previously faced trouble in 2018 due to a margin investing issue surrounding her father. At the time, she quickly acknowledged her father's fraud case and publicly apologized to the victims. Through her agency HB Entertainment, she bowed her head, saying, "I am sorry. I have not seen my father for 15 years since I was 19. For 10 years, I have done my best to pay off my father's debts. The amount I have paid on his behalf is approximately 1 billion won. I used all of my acting fees to pay off the debts without even spending them. I can only hope and pray that there are no other victims. I will do my utmost to resolve the situation."

Subsequently, in 2022, Cha appeared on TV Chosun's 'Foodie Heo Young-man's Hundred Banquet Journey' and mentioned her husband Joo Sang-wook (48), stating, "My parents divorced, so I was living with my mother. It has been a long time since I saw my father. I needed a fence. That is why I wanted to get married quickly. I thought it would be nice to have just one person on my side who could protect me. My husband does that for me now."

Cha had built an image as a 'love-struck wife' through variety shows such as KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Bingsu Restaurant' and her YouTube channel 'Chef Cha Ye-ryeon,' overcoming the margin investing issue.

However, Cha has once again been named in an unsavory controversy, dealing a fatal blow to the image of both herself and her husband Joo Sang-wook. Previously, on the 29th of last month, a post titled "Please stop your activities, school violence perpetrator actress born in 1985" was uploaded to an online community, identifying Cha as the actress in question. In response, HB Entertainment dismissed it as "groundless," but additional disclosures have emerged, and the controversy continues daily.

Eventually, when malicious comment attacks escalated, the production team of 'Chef Cha Ye-ryeon' took measures to delete comments.

On the 1st, the production team opened by stating on the bulletin board of the 'Chef Cha Ye-ryeon' channel, "We came across the current situation while in the United States with Cha Ye-ryeon. We ask for your understanding regarding our delayed response."

They added, "YouTube comments are managed at the discretion of the production team without involvement from the cast. While verification of the related matter is underway, we will deactivate some videos and comment sections to prevent the indiscriminate spread of rumors and personal attacks on family members. We ask for your understanding as subscribers."

Meanwhile, Cha and Joo married in 2017 and have one daughter.
