Hong Min-ki's side denies A's claim, stating "No truth to coercion of abortion or pregnancy termination"

On the 20th, actor Hong Min-ki’s agency, Fable Company, issued an official statement refuting the claims made by former partner influencer A regarding an abortion. Fable Company stated that in a post additionally revealed by A, she claimed to have confirmed her pregnancy and undergone an abortion, mentioning that she had medical records and ultrasound images. According to the agency, A actually sent Hong Min-ki an ultrasound image around 6 a.m. on August 19, 2026, along with the message, ″Shut up before this all blows up,″ but had never shown the ultrasound image to the actor before that. They also explained that the ultrasound image differed from typical pregnancy images, prompting them to request verification from obstetrics medical staff, and they plan to submit this as evidence. Hong Min-ki’s side stated that A never showed a pregnancy test, and the actor never made any statements encouraging her to have an abortion. Furthermore, on July 13, the date A claims she had the abortion, she suggested to Hong Min-ki to go bike riding; when he declined, she sent a video of herself riding a bike alone. They added that they have secured and are keeping the related conversations and video. The agency emphasized that pregnancy and abortion are sensitive and serious matters and stated that instead of further rebuttals, they will proceed with legal action. Previously, A raised allegations of dating violence against Hong Min-ki on her social media, to which Hong Min-ki’s side acknowledged the relationship but claimed to have been stalked after the breakup was announced.
