While actor Hong Min-ki has refuted claims that he was the perpetrator of dating violence against his ex-girlfriend, attention is now focused on both his Instagram followers and unfollowers.

On the 19th, an online community reported that actress Baek Sun-ho unfollowed Hong Min-ki on Instagram immediately after his scandal broke. Notably, Baek Sun-ho was reportedly quick to respond despite being in military service.

Another actor and friend of Hong Min-ki, Choi Hyun-wook, also unfollowed him on social media. Among those who continued to follow Hong Min-ki is broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon.

Interest has centered on Hong Min-ki's close associates because he was engulfed in a negative scandal with his ex-girlfriend on this day. Influencer A revealed on their social media that they suffered dating violence during their relationship with Hong Min-ki.

A claimed that Hong Min-ki frequently made derogatory remarks about women and abused his pet dog. "Hong Min-ki boasted about his pet (Leo) on social media, but in reality, he cursed at the dog and kicked it, among other abusive acts. He also abandoned the dog alone at home for 3–4 days after I sent a formal notice and disappeared," A alleged.

Additionally, A stated they endured continuous verbal abuse and gaslighting from Hong Min-ki, adding, "Even after we broke up, he tried to engage in sexual relations and repeatedly touched my body."

In response, Hong Min-ki's agency, Fable Company, issued an official statement saying that Hong and A began dating around April but their relationship deteriorated due to trust issues. The agency emphasized that Hong repeatedly made it clear he had no intention of continuing the romantic relationship.

Despite this, the agency stated that A continued to contact him demanding reconciliation and visited both Hong's home and his family's residence. On the early morning of this day, CCTV footage captured A visiting Hong's house, pressing the doorbell for several hours, knocking on the door, covering the entrance camera, and kicking the front door.

Hong Min-ki's side has declared it will pursue all possible civil and criminal legal actions, including violations of the Stalking Punishment Act. In response, A denied Hong's claims and announced plans to prepare a legal countermeasure.

A stated, "It is not true that I engaged in stalking by visiting his house or demanded to meet again. I only asked for a minimal apology, and I believe this kind of secondary victimization used to suppress someone is wrong."

A explained that they had been dating since April and experienced many jealousies, misunderstandings, and arguments typical of romantic relationships. Regarding Hong's side's earlier claim that A maintained continuous contact with an ex-boyfriend during their relationship, A firmly denied it as false.

Additionally, A claimed they became pregnant while dating Hong Min-ki and underwent an abortion procedure. According to A, they informed Hong of the pregnancy, and after he checked a pregnancy test kit, he told them, "You're going to have an abortion, right? Let's go tomorrow." Fearing to accompany Hong to the obstetrics clinic, A visited the hospital alone on July 13 and had the procedure. A added, "Medical records and ultrasound images from that time serve as evidence."

Meanwhile, Hong Min-ki played the role of Im Jae-i in the KBS 2TV drama 'Dear My Robber,' which concluded in February, gaining public recognition. Baek Sun-ho portrayed Kim Geon-woo in the Netflix drama 'Gigolo,' also earning widespread attention.
