He still hasn’t received his money.

Former Pastel pop member Way confessed to being the victim of a rental scam.
On November 11, he posted a video about her WayLand YouTube channel and explained the story in detail.
I think I was scammed. I did not receive my money, so it is commonly known as Jeonse scam.
– Way
Jeonse It is a key money store common to the South Korean real estate market.
He explained that although he had insurance from the Corporation for the guarantee of housing and urban construction (HUG), he was still having trouble.
“Not everything can be fixed just because you have HUG insurance. You have to prepare a lot of documents to get your deposit money back, and you have to wait more than two months without receiving money from the landlord before you can say you haven’t received the money yet.
I haven’t been able to move, the interest on the loan keeps rising and I can’t contact my landlord.”
– Way
Loss of contact with the owner is one of the most common problems that victims of jeonse fraud face. Victims usually have to wait a long time to get their deposits back through legal procedures.
Way also went to court to receive the necessary documents and underwent various complicated procedures.
Way’s case is in line with the recent increase in Jeonse scam cases. In 2023, the number of Jeonse scam victims has increased worldwide, becoming a major social problem.
