Amidst allegations that actor Ha-young (real name Ahn Ha-young) is a descendant of a pro-Japanese collaborator, far-right cartoonist Yoon Seo-in defended him.

On the 11th, Yoon Seo-in shared an article regarding Ha-young's alleged pro-Japanese activities through her personal account and posted, "Ha-young is so pitiful ㅠㅠㅠㅠ."

Previously, Ha-young introduced in various variety shows including KBS 2TV 'Problem Children Are Here' that she comes from a family of doctors for four generations.

In the broadcast, Ha-young stated, "As far as I remember, my great-grandfather was one of the first to introduce Western medicine Jeon Mun (Rep.) in Hanyang at the time," and added, "After studying medicine in Japan, he opened the first clinic Yang (Rep.) in Hanyang and treated patients with Ko Jong (황제)."

Subsequently, speculation spread across online communities that Ha-young's great-grandfather was Ahn Sang-ho, and his past activities were re-examined, leading to allegations of pro-Japanese collaboration.

Regarding this matter, a representative of Ha-young's agency told StarNews, "It is true that Ha-young's great-grandfather was Ahn Sang-ho," but regarding the pro-Japanese activities of Ahn Sang-ho raised on online platforms, they stated, "There are parts that differ from the facts."

Meanwhile, Yoon Seo-in previously sparked controversy by posting an article stating, "Were not so-called pro-Japanese collaborators people who lived hard, while independence activists were people who lived carelessly?" She also faced criticism for posting images that sexually objectified and mocked popular girl groups.
