Actress Park Min Young has clarified that she did not receive any unlawful advantages related to the allegations involving her ex-boyfriend, businessman Kang Jong Hyun.
On the 15th, Dispatch disclosed that Park Min Young received 250 million won from Kang Jong Hyun. The report stated that Kang obtained the money as a loan from a subsidiary company and transferred it to Park Min Young’s personal account, designating it as living expenses.
Park Min Young’s agency, Hook Entertainment, stated, “Actress Park Min Young was investigated as a reference person by the prosecution in February 2023, in connection with Kang Jong Hyun using her account in another name. It was clearly stated that Park Min Young did not participate in any illegal activities or gain any illegal benefits. The 250 million won mentioned in the article was used by Kang Jong Hyun’s account, not as Park Min Young’s living expenses,” in response to the speculations about the actress.
“Park Min Young has been misunderstood for over a year due to false information. Despite this, she accepted criticism and regretted her actions, focusing more on her acting career. She believes that showing good acting through good works is her role and duty as an actress,” the agency added.
On the other hand, Kang Jong Hyun was previously entangled in a scandal as the presumed actual proprietor of the cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb. He was also romantically associated with Park Min Young in 2022.
They admitted to being in a relationship but subsequently declared their breakup. Park Min Young underwent an investigation by the prosecution and asserted no connection to allegations of utilizing a borrowed-name account.
