Roh Ji-sun financial debt disclosure
Overview
Former fromis_9 member Roh Ji-sun has shared details regarding the financial difficulties she encountered following her career as an idol. Appearing on YouTube, Roh explained that a lack of stable income and occupation prevented her from securing traditional bank loans, leading her to rely on credit card loans to cover living expenses.
She described a cycle where she initially borrowed 3 million won, but high interest rates caused the debt to escalate “like a snowball” as she attempted to repay previous loans with new credit. Roh noted that she eventually cleared her debts approximately one year after leaving her group with assistance from her brother, though she emphasized the challenges of rebuilding credit and repaying family members. Her experience has been noted as an illustration of the financial instability and debt risks faced by some artists within the K-pop industry.
