'Father's Forgery of Private Documents Controversy' Park Seri... "Will Hold a Press Conference to Clarify Position"

Press Conference Tomorrow at 3 PM

Former golf player Park Seri (46) held a press conference to directly address the accusation against her father for forgery of private documents.

On the 17th, Kim Kyung-hyun, legal representative of the Park Seri Hope Foundation, announced through a notice that a press conference would be held at 3 p.m. on the 18th.

The foundation stated, "Although a press release was distributed regarding the accusation of forgery of private documents and use of forged private documents, some articles have been published that exaggerate or speculate inaccurately about the facts," adding, "We will hold a press conference to clarify the accurate facts."

Last September, the foundation filed a police complaint against Park’s father, Park Jun-cheol, on charges of forgery of private documents and use of forged private documents. It is known that the police recently forwarded the case to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.

The foundation explained the background of the accusation, saying, "Park Seri’s father secretly made and used the corporate seal of the foundation after receiving a participation proposal from a company establishing an international golf school," and "The establishing company discovered that the seal was forged during the submission of related documents to administrative authorities."

Meanwhile, the Park Seri Hope Foundation was established in 2016 to nurture golf talent and develop the sports industry, with Park serving as the chairperson.
