The assistant, Tey Jing Wen, 33, pleaded guilty last Thursday to five charges, including embezzlement, breach of trust and drink-driving, Mothership reported, citing local media.
Kim previously spoke on the case in a TikTok livestream last October, in which she alleged her assistant had stolen cash and valuables, using the company card for personal expenses and driving the company car while drunk, according to Channel News Asia.
The court recently heard that Tey joined Kim’s beauty and health company KL Health as a human resources assistant in 2022, according to local Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao.
She was promoted to HR manager after two years and later became regional coordinator. She worked closely with Kim and held a key role in the company.
Tey was caught driving against traffic in June 2025 and was found to have exceeded the legal blood alcohol limit. Authorities also discovered she was driving Kim’s car, which she was responsible for maintaining as regional coordinator, without a licence or third-party insurance. She was later released on bail.
After noticing a decline in Tey’s work performance following the arrest, Kim launched an internal investigation and found that the assistant had spent S$19,191 at several luxury nightclubs using the company credit card.
