The so-called "family risk" is drawing attention again as a series of rumors surrounding the family of celebrities.
Recently, the son of singers Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung were caught up in allegations of extramarital affairs, and privacy issues surfaced. Earlier on the 23rd, A claimed that B committed an affair during his marriage through the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute" (hereinafter referred to as Se-yeon). A openly mentioned divorce lawsuits and child support issues, saying the relationship broke down due to her husband's inappropriate relationship during pregnancy.
At the same time, A said that the two were on trial, and that the first trial recognized the reason attributable to A and ruled that 30 million won in alimony and child support was paid. A and B married in February 2024, and they were broken up in October of the same year. They have one 18-month-old daughter.
As the controversy grew, Hong Seo-beom said on the channel, "The lawsuit is not over," but added, "I don't know much about the children. It's about two people. We didn't give any consolation money and made him a cowardly human being," he said.
Amid the ongoing battle over his son's privacy, the entire family has been at the center of public opinion as the position and response of his parents, Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung, have been put on the cutting board.


Lee Hwi-jae's family has also recently been cold-eyed as controversy over the past has been summoned again. The families of Lee Hwi-jae and Moon Jung-won, who were greatly loved through KBS 2TV entertainment program "Superman is Back," have since been caught up in various gossip, and the public's view has changed dramatically.
Of course, there are also a number of unfavorable images of individual Lee Hwi-jae formed in the course of broadcasting activities. However, various rumors surrounding his wife, Moon Jung-won, have dealt a decisive blow, and the public's view toward his family has become colder.
In particular, the inter-floor noise conflict and the controversy over non-payment of toy prices in 2021 dealt a big blow to the family's image. Since then, Lee Hwi-jae has temporarily suspended his broadcasting activities, and rumors of his retirement have been raised as it was revealed that he left for Canada with his family.
Recently, news of Lee Hwi-jae's appearance on KBS 2TV's entertainment program "Immortal Songs" has been reported, but the public response is still cold.
The stars' 'family risk' is nothing new. Broadcaster Park Soo-hong had to endure long-term wounds due to embezzlement conflicts with his brother and wife, and rapper Microdot was also directly hit by controversy over his parents' debt and fraud. As such, cases in which private problems surrounding the family affect the celebrity's image and activities as a whole are repeated. Attention is focusing on how the controversy over Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung's son's privacy, which is currently growing in controversy, will end in the future.
