The conflict between actor Hong Min-ki and his ex-girlfriend, identified as Ms. A, is expected to escalate from a public dispute into a legal battle.

Ms. A claimed on her Instagram that she is Hong Min-ki's former girlfriend and sent him a formal notice detailing allegations of dating violence, among other accusations. She further alleged that Hong Min-ki frequently made derogatory remarks toward fans and abused his pet dog.

Hong Min-ki's agency, Fable Company, issued an official statement on the 19th, saying, "Since this matter originated from a private relationship, we have refrained from public responses or legal actions as much as possible, hoping for a smooth resolution with Ms. A."

However, the agency explained that they were compelled to respond after Ms. A publicly shared the formal notice she sent to Hong Min-ki and related posts on her personal social media. The agency stated, "The notice contains numerous claims that contradict the facts we have verified."

Both sides acknowledge that they began dating around April. However, their accounts diverge sharply on the circumstances leading to the breakup.

Hong Min-ki's side claimed that during their relationship, Ms. A maintained continuous contact with her ex-boyfriend. They also stated that Ms. A admitted in letters and personal messages to meeting other men during the relationship and apologized to Hong Min-ki multiple times.

According to the agency, Hong Min-ki repeatedly made it clear that he had no intention of continuing the romantic relationship because he believed the trust between them could not be restored.

In contrast, Ms. A flatly denied these allegations. She claimed, "It is also false that I maintained continuous contact with my ex-boyfriend during my relationship with Hong Min-ki." She stated that, like any other couple, they experienced jealousy, misunderstandings, and arguments during their time together.

Their positions are sharply divided regarding Ms. A's attempts to contact and visit Hong Min-ki after the breakup. Hong Min-ki's side alleged that Ms. A refused to accept the breakup and demanded reconciliation. The agency stated, "Ms. A repeatedly contacted Hong Min-ki, asking him to meet again, and even visited not only his home but also her family's residence, engaging in unwanted contact and approaches."

According to the agency, Ms. A reportedly visited Hong Min-ki's home around 1 a.m. that day and rang the doorbell and knocked on the door until 4 a.m. The agency claimed that CCTV footage they obtained showed Ms. A placing a sticker over the front door camera to block recording before kicking the front door.

However, while Ms. A admitted visiting Hong Min-ki's home, she refuted that her purpose was reconciliation.

Ms. A stated, "It is false that I engaged in stalking behavior by showing up at his house or demanded that he meet me again. I merely requested a minimal apology."

In this process, Ms. A also raised new claims regarding pregnancy and abortion surgery. She alleged that she discovered she was pregnant while dating Hong Min-ki in July. She claimed she confirmed a positive result on a pregnancy test at Hong Min-ki's home and informed him, stating that he then said, "You're going to have an abortion, right? Let's go tomorrow."

Ms. A revealed that she was too afraid to accompany Hong Min-ki to the hospital, so she visited a gynecology clinic alone on July 13 and underwent an abortion surgery. She claimed, "There are medical records and ultrasound images from that time as evidence."

She further alleged that after the surgery, Hong Min-ki persistently demanded a breakup. Ms. A stated that Hong Min-ki said, "I cannot take care of you," and added, "He ignored my plea to 'Please at least take responsibility until I recover,' cutting off contact unilaterally."

Ms. A maintained that she visited Hong Min-ki's home in this situation to seek help and an apology. She said, "With nowhere else to turn, I fell into despair, which turned into anger, leading me to visit Hong Min-ki's home unilaterally. He ignored my pleas of 'Help me, I'm sick, I feel like I'm going to die.' Is this stalking?"

Their interpretations also differed regarding contact or visits with Hong Min-ki's family. While Hong Min-ki's side claimed that visiting his family's home constituted unwanted approaches, Ms. A countered that she confided in Hong Min-ki's mother about the difficulties caused by her pregnancy and denied any stalking intent.

Ms. A also claimed that she bore the full cost of the abortion surgery herself. She stated that Hong Min-ki said something to the effect of "The filming budget wasn't high, I have no money," and concluded, "So I ended up paying everything."

Ms. A, who stated she is currently a first-year university student, claimed, "School starts in a few weeks, and I am still suffering from aftereffects of the pregnancy termination."

In contrast, Hong Min-ki's side alleged that Ms. A used her status as an actor to pressure him. The agency claimed that Ms. A told Hong Min-ki things such as "You have a lot to lose," "The truth doesn't matter," and "If this goes to court, there's nothing you can do," asserting that she attempted to coerce him into silence by threatening to disclose false information publicly.

They further alleged that Ms. A sent Hong Min-ki a formal notice containing false claims and then publicly posted allegations on social media regarding the abuse of his pet dog and deception toward fans, thereby damaging his reputation.

Ultimately, both sides have warned of legal action and are engaged in an uncompromising standoff. Hong Min-ki's side stated, "We will do our utmost to clarify the facts through objective evidence and due process," and added that they would take legal action related to stalking regarding repeated contact and approaches against Hong Min-ki's wishes. They also announced they would pursue all necessary civil and criminal measures, including defamation, for the public dissemination of false information.

Ms. A also refused to back down. She characterized Hong Min-ki's side's response as "secondary victimization," stating, "Hong Min-ki's agency, which is trying to paint me as a stalking perpetrator, and Hong Min-ki himself, who shows no remorse, have left me with no need for further settlement. I will also respond through my lawyer and litigation."

Meanwhile, Hong Min-ki, born in 2002, made his debut through the U+ Mobile TV original series "It Has Become Night" in 2023 and has since appeared on tvN's "Love Is a One-Way Bridge," Tving's "Study Group," and MBC's "Bunny and Older Brothers."
