A former member of a K-Pop girl group that made its debut in 2015 has been accused of fraud.

Recent reports say that Ms. A, who was previously active as a girl group member, met the complainant, a male, through social media in December 2018. She then borrowed approximately ₩50,000,000 ($44,800) from the man. Ms. A stated that she would be using the money for her daily expenses. But then, she ended her communication with him after she couldn't return it, according to the complainant.

Based on the official complaint filed to the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, Ms. A asked the man to provide her money for about a year starting from April 2019, so he gave her a total of 49 million won for her everyday needs.

Media outlets then contacted the agency of the girl group member. The label responded that her contract with them has already come to an end and that she would not be taking part in any group activities anymore. The company also said that they were unable to give a statement regarding the issue as it has something to do with the personal life of Ms. A.

It was further reported that Ms. A made her debut in 2015 as part of a K-Pop girl group and just recently ended her career as a singer. Other details about the former K-Pop idol were not specified. Meanwhile, the female acts who debuted in 2015 include Playback, MyB, APRIL, DIA, OH MY GIRL, WANNA.B, and CLC.
