‘Super Rich in Korea’ star David Yong faces fresh fraud charges in Singapore
- Yong, one of the ‘super rich’ stars of the hit Netflix reality show, has received two new charges linked to falsified invoices
The 37-year-old Singaporean businessman was one of the “super rich” personalities on the show, alongside influencer Yoo Hee-ra, Iraq-born YouTuber and influencer Noor Naim and Italian Teodoro Marani, whose father is the chief executive and designer behind the luxury fashion label Henry Beguelin.
Yong, the chief executive officer of multinational Evergreen Group Holdings, was charged on Thursday in a district court for abetting a woman, identified as Jolene Low Mong Han, in falsifying papers from Evergreen GH with the intent to defraud.
Court documents referred to Yong as Yong Khung Lin, and said that in December 2021, as an officer of Evergreen GH, one of the companies under Evergreen Group Holdings, he allegedly instigated Low to falsify two tax invoices issued by Evergreen Assets Management in May and October 2021.
The invoices were for furniture sales to Evergreen Venture Capital and furniture sales and interior design services to Tay Ai Chern Pearlrie.
Super Rich In Korea, a six-part series released on the streaming service on May 7, showcased the extravagant lives of some of Seoul’s top 1 per cent, who made the city their second home due to their love for Korean culture.
