The victim who accused actor Hong Min-ki of dating violence has made additional claims of ongoing verbal abuse, gaslighting, dog abuse, and violent behavior following their breakup.
Previously, the victim, referred to as A, shared a legal notice sent to Hong Min-ki's representatives on her Instagram story on the 19th. The notice included allegations of assault, threats, invasion of privacy, and driving an electric scooter while intoxicated.
A later posted further details about her experiences during their relationship.
A claimed that Hong Min-ki, who is currently an active actor, made derogatory remarks about his ex-girlfriend and expressed outdated views, stating, "I am a patriotic conservative, and I support the implementation of a conscription system. Women should serve in the military, and men are heaven while women are earth."
She also alleged that he insulted fellow actors, staff, and directors, and disparaged fans who came to see him, saying, "Those without money are trying to save costs by stalking me."
Regarding a birthday party organized by fans, A claimed, "I didn't want to go, but I was forced to attend, and it was exhausting. I wanted to leave immediately," highlighting his disrespect towards fans who cared for him.
Further allegations involved his treatment of his dog. A accused Hong Min-ki of abusing his pet, Leo, by cursing at and kicking the dog, despite showcasing it on social media. She also claimed that he abandoned the dog at home for three to four days after she sent the legal notice.
A asserted that she experienced ongoing verbal abuse and gaslighting from Hong Min-ki. She recounted instances where he said, "My mental illness relapsed because of you," "I want to die," "Let's die together," and "I regret dating you."
She provided specific details about the aftermath of their breakup, stating, "Even after our relationship ended, I lived with guilt, believing that his panic disorder was my fault. I went to his house multiple times, begging and apologizing, but he responded with severe insults and violent outbursts for 20 to 30 minutes."
A emphasized that her experiences were not merely typical relationship conflicts. She stated, "It wasn't until three weeks after our breakup (at the end of July) that I realized what I experienced was not love but clear violence and exploitation. The fear left me in cold sweats and trembling, making it impossible to sleep or continue my daily life."
Ultimately, A disclosed everything to her parents and decided to pursue legal action. She noted that she did not intend to make this situation public. "I am an ordinary college student," she said, adding, "I did not want this incident to become gossip or news. However, I hope that he reflects on his actions and acknowledges his mistakes as a human being before being an actor, and sincerely apologizes to me."
The legal notice A previously shared included claims that Hong Min-ki threw a soju bottle in the street, made threatening remarks, physically assaulted her, and secretly accessed her phone messages. It also mentioned that A was injured when he drove the electric scooter while intoxicated.
However, the additional claims made by A are based on her own statements on social media and have not yet been confirmed as facts by law enforcement or the courts.
Meanwhile, Hong Min-ki's agency, Fable Company, stated that the allegations are false and that they are currently reviewing the situation.
