Actor Hong Min-ki, who has been embroiled in controversy following repeated disclosures of private matters by his former girlfriend A, has completely denied allegations that he pressured her to have an abortion.

Hong's agency, Fable Company, stated in its second official statement released on the 20th: "A never showed Hong a pregnancy test kit, and contrary to A's claims, there is absolutely no fact that Hong made any remarks urging A to have an abortion."

The agency further added: "On July 13, the day A claimed she underwent an abortion surgery, A proposed to the actor that they go cycling together. When the actor declined, A sent a video of herself cycling alone. We have secured and are preserving both the conversation records and the video."

Previously, A had claimed on her social media that she was pressured into having an abortion during her relationship with Hong. She also stated she possessed medical records and ultrasound images to support this claim.

In response, the agency countered: "Actually, around 6 a.m. on August 19, A sent an ultrasound image along with a message saying, 'Shut up before this all blows open.' However, prior to that, A had never shown such an ultrasound image to the actor."

The agency also noted that the ultrasound image sent by A differs from typical images showing a normal pregnancy. "We have requested verification from gynecological medical staff and plan to submit it as evidence," they stated.

The agency further explained: "Pregnancy and abortion are extremely sensitive and serious matters. Nevertheless, A publicly posted false claims on social media, such as alleging that the actor pressured her for an abortion after confirming the pregnancy, causing the actor severe and difficult-to-recover damage to his reputation and image."

They continued: "We will no longer respond by repeatedly refuting the other party's false claims. Based on all materials secured so far, we will immediately initiate necessary civil and criminal legal procedures to clarify the facts related to this matter. Finally, we sincerely request that you refrain from indiscriminate speculation, expansion, or reproduction of unverified claims, as such actions could cause further harm not only to the actor but also to all parties involved in the case."

Meanwhile, on the 19th, A publicly released a formal notice of legal action regarding alleged illegal criminal acts sent to Hong and his agency via social media, claiming she suffered dating violence during her relationship with Hong. She also exposed that she endured verbal abuse and gaslighting throughout their relationship.

The previously disclosed notice included allegations that Hong threw a soju bottle at A on the street, threatened and assaulted her out of suspicion that she was cheating with another man, made derogatory remarks about women, and spoke ill of another former girlfriend who is currently active as an actor, as well as fans, fellow actors, staff members, and directors. It also raised claims of animal abuse involving a pet dog.

In response, the agency issued an official statement on the 19th: "Although we began dating around April, trust broke down during our relationship, leading to its deterioration. A repeatedly contacted the actor, demanding to meet again. She frequently visited the actor's home and even went to his family's residence, engaging in one-sided contact and approaches that the actor did not want."

The agency further stated: "The formal notice contains numerous claims that contradict the facts we have ascertained. We will do our utmost to clarify the facts through objective evidence and due legal procedures. Regarding repeated contact and approaches against the actor's will, we plan to take legal action under stalking-related laws. For acts of publicly disclosing and spreading false information that damage the actor's reputation, we intend to pursue all necessary civil and criminal measures, including charges for defamation."
