Hong Min-gi's agency rejects abortion allegations by ex-girlfriend, plans legal action: 'Irreparable damage'
The controversy began on August 19, when a woman referred to as "Ms. A" reportedly a first-year university student, posted on social media a certified letter she had sent to actor Hong Min-gi , accusing him of dating violence, privacy invasion, and pressuring her into an abortion.

On August 19, an ex-girlfriend of actor Hong Min-gi, referred to as Ms. A, posted a certified letter on social media alleging that Hong had engaged in dating violence, invaded her privacy, and pressured her into having an abortion. Ms. A also claimed that Hong had belittled those around him, including fans, and that she continued to suffer the consequences of the abortion.
Following the allegations, Hong's agency, Fable Company, released a statement on the same day, acknowledging that the matter was initially intended to be resolved privately without public response or legal action. However, the agency felt compelled to speak out after Ms. A published the certified letter and related posts.
Ms. A rejected Fable Company's initial statement as inadequate, maintaining that she had become pregnant during her relationship with Hong, had an abortion, and was then abandoned by him. She further claimed that she had covered the full cost of the procedure herself and that Hong had told her that the drama's filming budget was low and that he had no money. Ms. A stated that she intends to pursue her own legal action against Hong.
Fable Company addressed the latest posts from Ms. A, denying that she ever showed him an ultrasound photo of her pregnancy or any pregnancy test before the alleged abortion. The agency claimed that they had asked OB-GYN professionals to review the ultrasound image and that they would submit their findings as evidence. They also stated that they had no record of Ms. A ever showing him a positive pregnancy test and denied that he ever pressured her into having an abortion.
The agency emphasized that the pregnancy and abortion allegations were extremely sensitive and serious matters, and that Ms. A had publicly posted claims that were entirely untrue, damaging Hong's reputation and causing him irreparable harm. They announced that they would proceed with both civil and criminal legal action based on the evidence gathered and requested the public to refrain from speculating or spreading unverified claims to avoid further harm to everyone involved.
