Park Soo Hong’s father, who sat in the witness seat, first claimed that the periodic large deposits were for Park Soo Hong’s cash reserve. When asked why Park Soo Hong needed one, he answered it was “because he liked women too much.”
Park Soo Hong loves women too much. I know of six women alone. Once, he got a baby and asked his brother and sister-in-law to handle it.

He continued with a story about how Park Soo Hong allegedly had an ex-girlfriend whom he broke up with, and he claimed that Park Soo Hong used the cash reserve to buy cars and gifts for the women he had dated in the past.
He had a woman he was dating for 7-8 years, and they were going to get married in Malaysia. But after a few months, the woman cried and said, ‘Oppa wants to break up with me.’ At that time, I said, ‘It’s between you two, and it’s none of our business.’ Three days later, Park Soo Hong came to his mother and asked for his bank account… He said, ‘Don’t you have to give money when you break up with a woman you’ve been dating?’

The father claimed that when Park Soo Hong breaks up with a woman, he buys a foreign car for her. He also claimed that Park Soo Hong took out the cash directly instead of purchasing these gifts with a check so that the transaction details would not be revealed.
Regarding past reports of threatening Park Soo Hong with an axe, Park Soo Hong’s father claimed it was because he was angry when he found out Park Soo Hong changed the passcode for the house after the father cleaned up after him for 30 years.
For 30 years, I did the cleaning and management of Soo Hong’s house. When I went to clean the house, the password had been changed. After spending the night with a woman, I even cleaned up his used condoms, but he changed the password without a word. So, I got angry and knocked on the door, then broke it down with a fire extinguisher.
