As actor Hwang Jung-min is engulfed in an unexpected "affair rumor," the YouTube content he appeared in also appears to be suffering.

On the 29th, comments such as "No, my Pung-hyang-go...", "Give back my Pung-hyang-go...", and "Please treat it like Voldemort never existed and keep filming" were posted on the video "Pung-hyang-go: Hanoi, Vietnam," part of the YouTube channel 'Tteun-tteun'.

The video, which documented the trip to Hanoi, Vietnam by Hwang Jung-min, Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Seok-jin, and Yang Se-chan, was uploaded in November 2024 and has recorded over 20 million views up to this day. It continues to be cited as a "legendary episode" and remains widely loved. However, with Hwang Jung-min now engulfed in affair allegations today, some netizens have expressed reactions questioning whether they can still remember 'Pung-hyang-go' with joy.

A similar situation has also occurred elsewhere. On the 24th, a video titled "If Hwang Jung-min Says Aliens Exist, Then They Do," part of the 'Na Young-seok's Waggle-waggle' segment on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen', was released. This video surpassed 1 million views by today.

The video featured Hwang Jung-min meeting PD Na Young-seok to promote the movie 'Hope' (HOPE), which was released on the 15th alongside Jo In-sung and Jeong Ho-yeon. After Hwang Jung-min's private life scandal broke, netizens expressed confusion with comments such as "I was planning to watch it tomorrow, what happened?", "The call logs could be AI-generated, and nothing has been 100% confirmed yet, so why are the comments already acting like everything is settled?", "Why did Min-hyung...", and "I wanted to see Hope, but Hwang Jung-min..."

Hwang Jung-min is embroiled in controversy following allegations of an affair with a woman identified as Ms. A. According to Ms. A's claims, she first met Hwang Jung-min in August 2023 and has exchanged contact multiple times over the past two years. She alleges that during this period, Hwang Jung-min engaged in inappropriate behavior, including making sexual remarks toward her.

However, on the 29th, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, dismissed Ms. A as "a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min." They stated, "Hwang Jung-min filed a criminal complaint against Ms. A. The court issued temporary restraining orders prohibiting contact with the suspect on three separate occasions and issued a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won after recognizing the stalking allegations."
