Hwang Jungeum, who is currently taking her time off after being accused of embezzling company funds, faced unexpected criticism after announcing a free giveaway.
On the 12th, Hwang Jungeum posted on her social media, "I'm giving away toys for free. These are toys my child used cleanly. If you need them, please feel free to take them♥"
She stated that the giveaway would take place from the 13th to the 15th in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, from 12PM to 7PM.
The shared photos showed various toys like cars, robots, and dinosaur figures piled together. A large amount of toys, seemingly used by her two sons, were spread out on the floor, drawing attention.
However, some netizens reacted coldly, like "Pay to have it disposed as waste," "If you're giving them away, shouldn't you at least sort them first?" and "It looks like you're just trying to save money on trash bag fees."
Last year, Hwang Jungeum was sent to trial for embezzling 4.3 billion KRW from her private company funds and was sentenced to 2 years in prison with 4 years of probation. She admitted to all charges and fully paid back the damages in 2 installments last May and June.
Because of this, the public is viewing this free giveaway in a negative light.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jungeum recently finished registering her one-person agency, 'Hunminjeongeum Entertainment,' as a public culture and arts management business.
According to the Public Culture and Arts Infomartion System, Hwang Jungeum completed the registration procedures on the 23rd of last month. The company was founded in 2013, with Hwang Jungeum listed as the CEO and her mother as the internal director.
Previously, controversy arose when it was revealed that the corporation had been operating without being registered. However, Hwang Jungeum's side explained, "We thought registration wasn't needed because we received management-related services from our existing agency," adding, "We have been working on the registration since last November."
Hwang Jungeum finalized her divorce last May and is currently raising her 2 sons alone. Attention is now focused on whether completing her one-person agency is a sign that she will resume her activities.

1. [+1,424][-36] She should have at least sorted them and shown them in a clean place like a room or a living roomㅋㅋㅋ She literally just threw them out in a dirty place that looks like a junkyardㅋㅋ Does she think people are beggars or animals? ㅋㅋㅋHer mindset is total trash.
2. [+1,204][-46] What is this? A junkyard? What even are those?? Just throw it away. Don't even try to give it away.
3. [+1,125][-28] This is where you can see someone’s home upbringing. Everything about her is so rough, tsk tsk. She should have at least spread them out and lined them up nicely.
4. [+145][-2] Would you even give things to your friends like that? How much does she look down on the public to act this way?
5. [+124][-2] Just look at that pink cart, isn't the handle bar in the middle missing? Seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋ She must really think everyone is beneath her.
