The allegations of dating violence against actor Hong Min-gi (24) appear to have entered a new phase. Before Hong Min-gi issued an official statement, a 'declaration of leaving fandom' from a devoted fan emerged.

A person claiming to be Hong Min-gi's former girlfriend continued releasing new details in a second exposure on the 19th following his initial allegations of "dating violence," adding further shock.

The content included statements such as: "(Hong Min-gi) disparaged fans who came to see him, calling them 'people with no money trying to save costs by creating fan meetings,' and after attending a birthday party organized by fans, he said, 'I didn't want to go but was forced to come and felt extremely tired. I wanted to leave the place immediately,' while insulting fans who loved him."

Following A's exposure, Hong Min-gi's fan B posted a "declaration of leaving fandom" on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Since this topic has become public, I am posting about the fans' side of the story."

Hong Min-gi's character came under intense scrutiny even as fans turned away from him. B stated, "Except for the 2026 birthday cafe, there was never a single time when more than two fans were present at offline events (LINE). Fans spending money and time is only natural, yet he not only looked down on that time but also failed to give even a simple photo verification unless the gift was something of value. He seemed like a cheap person obsessed with cost-effectiveness, which made us feel deeply offended."

B further revealed, "He avoided meeting 'ppasuni' (a derogatory slang term for fans), secretly told company staff he didn't want to meet them, and when they did encounter each other after being tightly guarded, he openly pointed at them asking how they recognized him. At times, he even pretended to go to the bathroom and ran away because he didn't want to talk. He ignored everything fans said during meetings, cut conversations short, and showed no interest in listening. We tried to make conversation enjoyable by discussing his beloved dog, even preparing gifts related to dogs, but now he claims even that was fake. Everything is simply disgusting."

B added, "If you didn't want to come to the birthday cafe, why not just stay away? Why did you brag about fans changing their flights to Japan for you? You should be grateful if two birthday cafes were opened in your honor. In reality, it was the fans who wanted to leave every moment due to your attitude. It's a waste of time thinking this was merely hatred; I even feel sorry for myself."

Notably, B raised their voice: "Everyone knew he had a girlfriend. The insincere and disgusting way he treated fans was endured countless times. Since we had no expectations, our disappointment wasn't great. We can only think that everything that was going to explode has finally exploded. We hope you never regain your strength. Through this incident, may all the things you did be punished, and even after time passes, I hope you never recover."

Meanwhile, Fable Company, Hong Min-gi's agency, is currently preparing an official statement regarding this controversy.
