Whistleblower in Yang Hong-won affair case threatens counter-lawsuit over false reports
The original whistleblower who raised allegations of an affair involving rapper Yang Hong-won has signaled legal action, claiming that repeated false reports have led to police intervention and disrupted their daily life.
The initial whistleblower in the Yang Hong-won affair allegations plans to file counter-lawsuits and request information disclosure after repeated false reports led to police being dispatched to their location on the 25th. AP Alchemy has already filed criminal complaints for extortion, defamation, and stalking violations, claiming the whistleblower is engaging in blackmail.
The initial whistleblower, referred to as A, who raised allegations of an affair involving rapper Yang Hong-won, has signaled legal action, stating they are in a distressing situation due to continuous false reports that have resulted in police being dispatched to their location. On the 25th, A shared a photo of the scene where police arrived via a personal account, appealing that daily life has become difficult due to repeated reports despite A not being a wanted person.
A emphasized plans to request the disclosure of information regarding those who have filed successive reports and intends to file counter-lawsuits. However, the specific circumstances that led to the police dispatch or the detailed contents of the reports have not yet been revealed.
Previously, on the 23rd, A caused a stir by revealing related photographs while introducing themselves as an acquaintance of Yang Hong-won. In response, Yang Hong-won's agency, AP Alchemy, refuted the claims, stating that the materials presented by the whistleblower were maliciously edited falsehoods and explained that the situation at the time stemmed from a misunderstanding.
Yang Hong-won's side claimed that A has engaged in repeated blackmail for monetary purposes and announced that they have filed criminal complaints for extortion, violations of the Stalking Punishment Act, and defamation by stating false facts. The woman who was at the motel with him also expressed grievance, stating there was no inappropriate relationship at all.
Yang Hong-won, who held a belated wedding on the 18th, is drawing significant public attention due to the privacy controversies and the ensuing war of revelations that erupted less than a week after the wedding.
