According to the Rainbow member, she is not involved with the problematic coin.
To get to the point, I am not involved with Youth Pay or the Winners Coin. I am preparing to take legal action against those involved with Youth Pay.

The idol then revealed that she had no idea that the controversial coins were scams.
At the time, I was told that the government was funding the organization behind Youth Pay, and so I thought being affiliated with them would help my image. I didn’t think that Youth Pay was a scam coin.

Meanwhile, Hyunyoung isn’t the only idol implicated in the scam. Previously, a popular Super Junior member also disavowed his association with the coin. You can read about it in the link below.
