Unfortunately, her stepfather was charged with stock manipulation and insider trading. The matter caused the downfall of many families of stockholders, driving some to bankruptcy.
Although he is only her stepfather, they were close enough for her and her sister, Lee Yu Bi, to take up his last name officially.
Furthermore, netizens have always frowned upon the family’s extravagant lifestyle of luxury despite the scandal.
