Park Min Young’s Agency Releases Statement Regarding Report Involving Ex-Boyfriend + Actress Personally Reassures Fans

Jan 15, 2024

Park Min Young’s agency Hook Entertainment has released a statement regarding new reports about her ex-boyfriend.

Back in September 2022, Dispatch reported that Park Min Young was in a relationship with wealthy businessman Kang and also brought up various allegations against him. Hook Entertainment released a statement at the time to clarify the rumors and to reveal that the actress had broken up with her boyfriend.

On January 15, Dispatch further reported that Park Min Young received 250 million won (approximately $190,300) in cash while dating businessman Kang. According to the report, businessman Kang withdrew the 250 million won as a loan and transferred it to Park Min Young under the pretext of living expenses.

In response to the report, Hook Entertainment released the following official statement:

"Hello. This is Hook Entertainment. We want to convey actress Park Min Young’s stance regarding the Dispatch news that was reported today.

In February 2023, actress Park Min Young participated in a witness interview with the prosecution regarding the use of her account as a borrowed-name bank account, and through this, it was clearly revealed that actress Park Min Young was not involved in any illegal activities nor did she receive any illegal benefits. The 250 million won mentioned in the report was only actress Park Min Young’s account being used by Kang Jong Hyun, and [the money] was not used for Park Min Young’s living expenses.

Actress Park Min Young was greatly misunderstood for over a year due to false information. Despite this, actress Park Min Young accepted the criticism from many people and is greatly regretting and reflecting on the aspect that she did act more cautiously. She also believes that it is an actress’s job to showcase good acting through good projects, so she is focusing more on her main job of acting.

We hope that the defamation of actress Park Min Young by raising groundless suspicions will no longer be repeated going forward."

Following the reports, Park Min Young personally took to her Instagram to further comment, “Sick of it all. However, I will believe that honesty will prevail, and now I have firm feelings of wanting to protect my beans (nickname for Park Min Young’s fans). Don’t worry.”

Park Min Young is currently starring in tvN’s “Marry My Husband,” which is topping the rankings of most buzzworthy dramas and actors.
