Actor Hong Min-ki is embroiled in allegations of dating violence, with conflicting claims emerging from his ex-girlfriend and his agency. The ex-girlfriend, referred to as A, alleges that she was subjected to assault and threats, while the agency contends that the breakup was due to A's infidelity and that they are the ones facing stalking and intimidation, promising legal action.
On August 19, influencer A shared a document on her social media that she sent to Hong Min-ki and his agency on July 28. In the document, A claims that Hong Min-ki assaulted her by throwing a soju bottle in the street out of suspicion of her infidelity and made threatening remarks suggesting he would kill her. She also accused him of invading her privacy by secretly checking her phone and injuring her while driving an electric scooter under the influence.
In response, Hong Min-ki's agency, Fable Company, issued a statement on the same day, categorically denying A's allegations. The agency stated, "The document and posts shared by A contain numerous false claims," asserting that the conflict arose not from Hong Min-ki's violence but from A's infidelity. According to the agency, the two began dating in April, but after A admitted to seeing someone else, Hong Min-ki ended the relationship due to a breach of trust.
The agency claims that A's stalking and harassment began when Hong Min-ki refused to meet her. They stated, "A frequently visited his home, and on the morning of August 19, she caused a disturbance by sticking stickers on the front door and kicking it, with related video evidence secured."
Furthermore, the agency alleged that A exploited Hong Min-ki's status as a public figure, threatening him with statements like, 'If you file a complaint, your career is over.' They accused her of sending false documents and posting provocative misinformation on social media after he rejected her attempts to meet.
Fable Company indicated that A's repeated approaches constitute stalking, and the dissemination of false information is considered defamation, vowing to take all necessary legal actions, both civil and criminal.
Born in 2002, Hong Min-ki debuted in 2020 and has appeared in dramas such as 'The Thief Who Stole My Heart,' 'Love is a One-Way Bridge,' and 'Study Group.' He recently completed filming for the Tving series 'Study Group Season 2.'
