Allegations Surface: Actor’s Ex-Girlfriend Claims Agency Offered Hush Money Amid Cheating Scandal

A controversy has erupted following claims that an actor’s agency offered his ex-girlfriend KRW 8 million (approx. $6,000 USD) as hush money to stay silent about a possible case of cheating or a rebound breakup.

Recently, a post titled “My Ex-Boyfriend’s Agency Sent Me KRW 8 Million” appeared on an anonymous workplace community forum.

The writer, who identified herself as the actor’s ex-girlfriend and an ordinary individual, began by stating, “They contacted me saying they would send KRW 8 million as a preemptive consolation payment (basically to keep quiet...) because within half a year, he’ll be appearing on a variety show to talk about his upcoming wedding with his new girlfriend, and the timeline might not add up.”

She continued, “When I asked for clarification, they said the timeline might suggest he broke up with me earlier than he actually did. So either it was a rebound or he cheated. They asked me not to mention it, saying I wasn’t planning to marry him anyway. (I had brought up the idea of marriage, but he really wasn’t a great guy.)”

The writer expressed her emotional conflict, saying, “Should I return the KRW 8 million? Whether we broke up or didn’t get married is our business. Isn’t it my right to reject this hush money for what was clearly a betrayal? I’m so angry, sad, and hurt that I took a day off work—I just can’t go in tomorrow.”

In particular, the writer hinted in the comments that her ex-boyfriend is not a top star but someone recognizable to those over 30, sparking speculation about the actor’s identity. However, the claims remain unverified, as no corroborating evidence has been presented, fueling controversy based solely on the post.
