Actor Hong Min-ki is at the center of controversy amid allegations of dating violence.

On the 19th, influencer A, who has 20,000 followers on social media, once again posted a lengthy message on their SNS claiming to have experienced certain incidents during their relationship with Hong Min-ki.

A alleged that Hong frequently made derogatory remarks toward women and used abusive language and profanity against former partners working in the same industry, as well as actors, production staff, and directors they collaborated with. A also claimed Hong's attitude toward fans was problematic, including making insulting comments directed at supporters who cheered for him and expressing dissatisfaction after fan events.

Allegations regarding his pet dog were also raised. A claimed that while Hong expressed affection for his pet dog on social media, he actually abused the animal and, after receiving legal documents, left the dog alone at home for several days while being absent himself.

Claims of harm during the dating and breakup process continued. A stated they endured ongoing verbal abuse and gaslighting, and that after the breakup, they visited Hong out of guilt over his deteriorating health, only to be met with threats including profanity and property damage. A further revealed there were unwanted physical contacts and sexual advances even after the relationship ended.

A claimed that after some time passed, they realized what they had experienced was violence, informed their parents, and sent a formal notice of claim through a law firm.

The previously released formal notice included allegations of throwing soju bottles on the street, excessive obsession, threats, and assault. A clearly identified Hong Min-ki as the target by citing photos from Hong's agency posts alongside the document.

However, the allegations of assault, verbal abuse, animal cruelty, etc., raised by A remain one-sided claims to date, and the factual circumstances have not been objectively confirmed. Currently, Hong Min-ki's side is verifying the facts related to the controversy and preparing their official stance.

Hong Min-ki, who has become embroiled in a dating violence controversy, was born in 2002 and is 25 years old by Korean age standards. He debuted in the entertainment industry in 2020 and has continued his acting career since a relatively young age as a rising star.

He first gained recognition playing the child role of Ji Joo-hoon in the drama "Love Is on a Narrow Bridge." Since then, he has built his filmography by appearing in various works including "Study Group," "The Noble Thief Who Loves Me," and "Doctor Island Boy."

In particular, he drew attention as a next-generation actor by making a strong impression in "Study Group," and it is reported that he has recently completed filming for the second season of "Study Group."
