Ko said, "I don't want to know about her family life. I want to talk about the trip she took with me to Hawaii".

She said, "From the day she came into my office in September 2011, I have never seen the money she makes. I gave her 700 million won for housing money and when papers regarding debt came to the office, I thought they were her ex-husband's. She took 2 billion won from me first. We then talked about her MC job and she could've used that money to pay the company's debts but she didn't even think about it. She would take what she wanted to take for vacations and such reasons".

"Debtors started showing up at the office after news about her drama contract went out. My name was already on several papers and I was responsible for whatever happened to her shows. So I made sure she was able to work and I assumed I'd be able to get my money back from her when she gets paid".

"Once an actress is done with one kind of work, she doesn't know what she's going to be in next. In the meanwhile, her debt began to build. I was about to forget about getting back the 2 billion which I gave her, but when the amount turned into 4~5 billion won, I couldn't let it go. I wanted to stop working with her when she started "Family Secrets". I suggested she moved to another company but she didn't want to go. So I kept getting her jobs so she could settle her debts and it was only after I got an advertisement contract that I found out she had signed in with another agency".

Run Entertainment filed a case against Shin Eun-kyung for the 2.4 billion won debt she owed. A criminal case is being conducted together for defamation. Shin Eun-kyung has also been put in the hot seat for not being a good mother.

Zidam Entertainment, Shin Eun-kyung's new agency, claims that Run Ent is playing with media and counter sued Ko who produced evidence about the truth.

Meanwhile, Shin Eun-kyung tried to make an explanation about her current situation in the TV show "Real Story Nun" but it seems like she only made things worse.
