Hong Min Ki’s Agency Releases New Statement Refuting Forced Abortion Allegations
Hong Min Ki’s agency has refuted claims made by his ex-girlfriend (hereinafter “Ms. A”) regarding a forced abortion.
Following Hong Min Ki’s agency’s statement from August 19, Ms. A further claimed that she had been subjected to verbal abuse, gaslighting, and pressure to undergo an abortion during their time together.
On the morning of August 20, Hong Min Ki’s agency Fable Company released a new statement refuting the allegations.
Hello. This is Fable Company.
We would like to state our position regarding the additional posts made by Ms. A concerning our agency’s actor Hong Min Ki.
In her additional posts, Ms. A claims that she confirmed a pregnancy during her relationship with the actor and underwent an abortion, stating that she possesses medical records and ultrasound photos as evidence.
In fact, at approximately 6 a.m. on August 19, 2026, Ms. A sent the actor an ultrasound photo along with the message, “Shut your mouth before I expose all of this too.” However, Ms. A had never shown any such ultrasound photos to the actor prior to this. As the ultrasound photo in question appears different from those that typically confirm a pregnancy, our company has requested verification from obstetric and gynecological medical professionals and intends to submit this as evidence.
Furthermore, upon confirming with the actor, it has been verified that Ms. A never showed the actor a pregnancy test, and contrary to Ms. A’s claims, the actor never made any remarks pressuring Ms. A to have an abortion.
Moreover, on July 13—the very day Ms. A claims she underwent the abortion surgery—she suggested to the actor that they go cycling together. When the actor declined, Ms. A sent a video of herself cycling alone. We have secured and are keeping all records of this conversation and the video.
Pregnancy and abortion are extremely sensitive and serious matters. Despite this, Ms. A has publicly posted claims on social media that are entirely untrue, such as the allegation that the actor pressured her into an abortion after confirming the pregnancy. As a result, the actor has once again suffered severe and irreparable damage to his reputation and image.
We will no longer respond by repeatedly refuting the other party’s false claims.
Based on the materials secured thus far, we will immediately proceed with the necessary civil and criminal legal procedures to ensure that the facts related to this case are clearly brought to light.
Finally, we earnestly request that you refrain from reckless speculation and the spreading or reproduction of unverified claims as this can cause further harm not only to the actor but to everyone involved in this matter.

Onew’s Agency Releases Statement Clarifying Involvement With “Injection Auntie”
SHINee’s Onew has released a statement regarding his police investigation into allegations of receiving illegal medical procedures from “injection auntie.”
On the evening of August 12, Onew’s agency Griffin Entertainment stated, “Onew previously visited a clinic introduced by an acquaintance for the purpose of skincare treatment. At the time, he perceived the individual in question to be a doctor or a medical professional affiliated with the clinic, and there were no circumstances that would have led him to suspect the validity of their medical license or procedures.”
The agency added that he provided the facts as they were during the investigation held in May and requested, “As the investigation is currently ongoing, we hope that unconfirmed speculation or information contrary to the truth will not be spread.”
The police have been investigating allegations that the “injection auntie,” who does not hold a domestic medical license, provided IV injections and prescribed antidepressants to individuals including comedian Park Na Rae in offices and vehicles.
As suspicions arose that other celebrities besides Park Na Rae were also involved in the illegal procedures, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station summoned Jun Hyun Moo, YouTuber Lickerish Hatnim, and SHINee’s Key and Onew for questioning regarding the “injection auntie” case.
Ha Young And Lee Je Hoon’s Upcoming Drama Releases Statement Following Her Recent Family Controversy
Amid growing controversy surrounding Ha Young over her great-grandfather’s alleged pro-Japanese activities, SBS has released a statement regarding her upcoming drama “The Long Shot Trial.”
Ha Young recently became embroiled in controversy after it was confirmed that her great-grandfather, doctor Ahn Sang Ho, was listed as a council member of a pro-Japanese organization in 1916.
On August 11, an SBS representative stated, “‘The Long Shot Trial’ has already completed a significant portion of filming. We ask for your understanding as it is difficult to provide specific details regarding the amount filmed or the exact production progress at this time.”
Regarding the controversy surrounding Ha Young, the representative added, “We are aware of the matter and are closely monitoring how the situation develops. If there are any updates, we will share them.”
Set to premiere in 2027, SBS’s “The Long Shot Trial” is a lighthearted legal comedy that follows the ragtag members of a law office led by Kwon Baek (Lee Je Hoon), a former lawyer who now works as a law office manager. Together, they find unconventional ways to turn seemingly unwinnable cases into victories.
Ha Young will star as rookie lawyer Yeo Shim Hee, who has neither money nor powerful connections but works harder than anyone else. She then becomes the lead attorney at Kwon Baek’s law office.
Stay tuned for more updates on the drama.

Ha Young’s Agency Releases Official Statement Regarding Recent Controversy Over Her Family History
Actress Ha Young’s agency has released a new statement regarding the recent controversy surrounding her family history.
Ha Young recently appeared on programs such as the KBS2 variety show “Problem Child in House,” where she mentioned her family’s four-generation legacy in the medical field, spanning from her great-grandfather and grandfather to her father and older sister. In particular, she introduced her great-grandfather as someone who studied medicine in Japan before opening a Western-style clinic in Hanyang (Seoul) and treating Emperor Gojong.
Following the broadcast, speculation spread that the great-grandfather Ha Young mentioned was the doctor Ahn Sang Ho, which her agency BISTUS Entertainment subsequently confirmed. Afterward, records emerged showing Ahn Sang Ho’s name on the list of council members for the Daejeong Chinmokhoe (a pro-Japanese organization) in 1916, sparking controversy regarding his activities during the Japanese colonial period.
On August 10, her agency released an official statement, saying the allegations raised online regarding Ahn Sang Ho’s alleged pro-Japanese activities were “groundless.” However, a day later—on August 11—the agency apologized, stating, “We sincerely apologize for causing confusion by hastily responding that the reports were ‘groundless’ without sufficient verification.”
Read the agency’s full statement below:
Hello, this is BISTUS Entertainment.
We are conveying our position regarding the recent reports concerning actress Ha Young’s family history.
First, we would like to address our previous statement that the reports were “groundless.” Upon further verification, we have confirmed that there is indeed an existing record of her great-grandfather, doctor Ahn Sang Ho, being listed as a council member of the Daejeong Chinmokhoe in 1916. We sincerely apologize for causing confusion by hastily responding that the reports were “groundless” without sufficient verification.
During a recent appearance on a broadcast program, actress Ha Young mentioned her family’s four-generation legacy in the medical field while responding to a question. The actress herself is feeling very heavy-hearted that this has unintentionally led to controversy.
Through this incident, our company has deeply realized how much careful verification is required when conveying historical facts and an individual’s background to the public.
Actress Ha Young also deeply takes to heart the concern caused by this incident, and she will approach her future activities with a more cautious and humble attitude.
