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.

Thank you.

“Heart Signal 5” Releases Official Statement On Adultery Allegations Against Contestant

Channel A’s “Heart Signal 5” has formally addressed the allegations against one of its contestants.

Recently, an anonymous individual uploaded a post on the online community Blind accusing a dating show contestant of having been romantically involved with a married man during filming for the program.

The post claimed that the contestant had appeared on the dating show and pretended to be single while already in a relationship with this married man, whom she continued to see throughout filming. The post also alleged that the contestant had begun the affair and moved in with the married man despite knowing that his wife had just given birth to a child and despite the wife strongly requesting an end to the affair over a long period of time.

The post included a CCTV screenshot of what appeared to be a man and woman kissing in an elevator.

Although the post did not specifically name the dating show and contestant in question, the details provided in the lengthy post narrowed the speculation to a specific cast member from “Heart Signal 5,” which is currently airing.

On June 9, ahead of the broadcast of its latest episode, “Heart Signal 5” officially responded to the controversy with the following statement:

We are currently in the process of checking the facts regarding the allegations related to a certain cast member.

Ji Chang Wook’s Agency Releases Statement Regarding His Tax Audit And Penalty 

Ji Chang Wook’s agency has issued a formal statement regarding the results of his recent tax audit.

On May 2, Field News reported that Ji Chang Wook had been subjected to an irregular tax audit by the National Tax Service this past March. According to the report, the actor was ordered to pay billions of won (millions of dollars) as a result of the audit.

That same day, Ji Chang Wook’s agency Spring Company responded by releasing the following statement:

Hello. This is Spring Company.

We are making an official statement regarding the report about our actor Ji Chang Wook’s tax audit.

First, we sincerely apologize for giving many people cause for concern through this incident. However, we would like to clearly state that there was absolutely no intentional omission of income or tax evasion through dishonest means.

During the recently conducted tax audit, our company transparently submitted all relevant materials and diligently cooperated with the investigation. However, we found that there was a difference in opinion with the tax authorities on the interpretation and application of tax laws regarding whether the earnings from the actor’s activities in the entertainment industry should be attributed to the individual or the corporation under the principle of taxation based on economic substance.

Despite this difference in opinion, we respect the findings of the National Tax Service’s audit, as [Ji Chang Wook] has strictly adhered to all tax-related laws and procedures without any issues and has always considered the diligent fulfillment of his tax obligations a top priority ever since his debut in 2008. Therefore, we plan to pay the imposed penalty tax without delay, in accordance with the relevant procedures.

In order to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future, we will review our tax and accounting management systems even more closely, and we will continue to diligently fulfill our tax obligations while upholding the law and related principles.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Releases Statement On Lawsuit Results And HoverLab Kim Se Eui’s Arrest Warrant

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency has released a statement regarding the lawsuits filed against Kim Se Eui of YouTube channel HoverLab Inc. (hereinafter “HoverLab”).

Hello, this is GOLDMEDALIST.

We would like to provide the following statement regarding the multiple complaints and lawsuits filed by Kim Soo Hyun and our company against Kim Se Eui of HoverLab (Garosero Research Institute).

According to the results of the investigation, the various allegations and evidence raised by HoverLab against Kim Soo Hyun were found to be false. In particular, the KakaoTalk conversations revealed during the press conference were determined to have been fabricated and altered from conversations involving a third party unrelated to Kim Soo Hyun, while the deceased’s voice recordings were also confirmed to be manipulated materials generated using AI technology.

As a result, due to the seriousness of the charges—including violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation through the dissemination of false information), violations of the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, violations of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (distribution of illegally filmed materials and coercion involving such materials), and threats—the court has issued an arrest warrant for Kim Se Eui.

We sincerely thank the investigative authorities for their efforts in uncovering the truth based on objective evidence.

At a press conference one year ago, Kim Soo Hyun stated:
“I won’t ask you to believe me. I will make sure to prove it.”

The past year for Kim Soo Hyun has been devoted solely to keeping that promise. At last, through lawful procedures and a thorough investigation, the truth has been proven.

We deeply thank everyone who trusted and waited for Kim Soo Hyun during this time.
