Hong Min-gi has recently refuted claims made by an ex-girlfriend who claimed that she was forced by him to undergo an abortion.
The actor, who previously denied allegations of domestic violence by the woman, known only as Miss A, was accused yet again of forcing the other party to terminate her pregnancy, after she claimed to have found out about the pregnancy last July.
In a second statement released following the previous response, Fable Company stated that Miss A had sent an ultrasound photo to Hong accompanied by the message, “Shut up before I spill the beans.” However, the company claimed that Miss A had never shown such a photo to the actor before.
The agency also questioned the authenticity of the image, stating that it appeared different from typical ultrasound images associated with pregnancy. It said it plans to formally seek confirmation from the relevant medical staff and submit the findings as evidence in the legal proceedings. Fable Company added that, after checking with Hong Min-gi, it was confirmed that Miss A had never shown him a pregnancy test, making it impossible for him to have made any remarks intended to persuade or pressure her into having an abortion.
As for her claims that she had the abortion on 13 July, the company said that Miss A had suggested that she and Hong Min-gi go cycling together that day. After he declined, she allegedly sent him a video of herself cycling alone.
The agency continued, “Although pregnancy and abortion are extremely sensitive and serious matters, Miss A publicly posted completely false claims on social media… As a result, Hong Min-gi has once again suffered severe damage to his reputation and image.”
“We will no longer repeat the other party’s false claims. Based on the evidence we have secured, we will immediately proceed with the necessary civil and criminal legal procedures to establish the facts clearly,” it added.
