Actress Park Min Young Rejects Accusations of Illicit Advantages in Kang Jong Hyun Matter

Actress Park Min Young has affirmed that she did not receive any illicit advantages related to the accusations involving her ex-boyfriend, businessman Kang Jong Hyun.

On the 15th, Dispatch disclosed that Park Min Young had received 250 million won from Kang Jong Hyun. The report suggests that Kang obtained the funds through a loan from a subsidiary company and transferred it to Park Min Young's personal account for living expenses.

Hook Entertainment, the agency representing Park Min Young, responded by stating, “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,” establishing a distinct separation.

The agency added, “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.”

In the past, Kang Jong Hyun faced controversy over being suspected as the actual owner of the cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb. Additionally, he was romantically associated with Park Min Young in 2022. Although they acknowledged their relationship, they later announced their separation. During this time, Park Min Young underwent an investigation by the prosecution, asserting her lack of involvement in any wrongdoing related to the use of a borrowed-name account. She made a comeback to the small screen on October 1st, starring in tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama titled 'Marry My Husband.'
