The police have cleared Chef Triple Star (real name Kang Seungwon), who appeared on the Netflix program "Black and White Chef," of allegations of embezzling restaurant funds.
According to the police on October 19, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul decided not to refer the case for prosecution earlier last month, concluding that there was no evidence to support the embezzlement charges against Triple Star in connection with his work.
Previously, in November last year, Gangnam Police Station launched an investigation after a citizen report was filed through the National Petition Portal, following claims by Triple Star's ex-wife that he had siphoned off part of the restaurant's funds he was managing.
Triple Star appeared on the Netflix program "Black and White Chef," which aired in September last year, and finished in third place. However, after the allegations surfaced, he temporarily suspended his public activities.
