Serious Hong Min-gi dating violence claims have taken a sudden turn as the rising South Korean actor’s management agency steps forward to forcefully deny all allegations. Fable Company, representing the 24-year-old star, released a comprehensive legal statement confirming that it will pursue aggressive civil and criminal charges against an online influencer for defamation, false accusations, and stalking behavior.
The controversy erupted early Wednesday when a social media influencer, known to have previously dated Hong, publicly uploaded photos of a certified legal letter sent to the actor. The document contained shocking claims accusing Hong of physical abuse, verbal threats, throwing a soju bottle on the street, and animal cruelty involving a domestic pet. However, the actor’s agency insists these claims are fabricated.
Breakdown of the Hong Min-gi Dating Violence Claims
According to Fable Company, the materials disclosed by the influencer contain numerous statements that completely contradict verified facts. The agency provided a detailed timeline of events to clarify what transpired between the actor and his former partner.
The two briefly dated in April 2026. However, Hong repeatedly made it clear that he wished to end the relationship after learning that the influencer remained in active contact with a former romantic partner. Despite his clear boundaries, the influencer allegedly refused to accept the breakup.
The agency disclosed that the influencer engaged in persistent, harassing behavior, including calling Hong relentlessly, demanding to reconcile, and showing up uninvited at both Hong’s personal residence and his family’s home.
Agency Exposes Alleged Extortion and Recorded Transcripts
In a key revelation, Fable Company accused the influencer of using Hong’s public status as a celebrity to orchestrate a smear campaign. Because public perception and image are vital to a young actor’s career, the agency claims the influencer exploited this vulnerability through malicious threats.
“The influencer repeatedly pressured Hong Min-gi by threatening to publish false statements, exploiting the fact that public opinion and his image are critical for an actor,” Fable Company stated in their official notice.
Furthermore, the agency revealed damning details from recorded phone conversations between Hong and the influencer. In these recordings, the influencer reportedly admitted indifference toward factual accuracy, making statements such as:
-
“Truth or not, I’m just going to sue.”
-
“You never cursed at me, but the truth doesn’t matter.”
Fable Company also firmly rejected secondary claims alleging that Hong had mistreated a pet dog or deceived his fanbase, categorizing those accusations as additional attempts to damage his public character.
Full Legal Action Under Anti-Stalking Laws
Rather than settling quietly, Fable Company is taking an uncompromising stance to protect its artist. The agency announced immediate plans to press charges under South Korea’s strict anti-stalking legislation due to repeated, unauthorized contact made against the actor’s explicit wishes.
Additionally, attorneys are preparing civil lawsuits for financial damages alongside criminal defamation complaints regarding the public dissemination of unverified material.
