Mr. A, who exposed Yang Hong-won's affair rumors, apologizes, saying "It included lies."

Mr. A, who first raised allegations of an affair involving Yang Hong-won, recently revealed his face and gave an interview. On the 29th, Mr. A stated through the YouTube channel ’Gray News’ that he did not directly witness any affair scenes. Mr. A explained that he previously worked as an MD at a club and currently has no particular occupation. Regarding his relationship with Yang Hong-won, he mentioned, ″We were friends who played together when we were young,″ and said that his feelings were more respectful than personally resentful. As for the reason behind the revelation, Mr. A explained that he asked Yang Hong-won to lend him 300,000 won due to urgent financial needs, but was provoked by the company’s response, which led him to expose the matter. He said, ″The company contacted me, and their lawyer belittled me. That was very provoking.″ Despite raising the affair allegations, Mr. A admitted, ″Honestly, I’m not sure about the affair,″ and said he did not directly see any affair scenes. What Mr. A witnessed was Yang Hong-won drinking with a woman and then accompanying her to a motel, but he did not know what happened inside the room. Mr. A acknowledged that some of the content in his exposure was not true. He revealed that the claim of receiving money from the agency was false and explained that it was written to attract attention. He also added that although he said in an SNS live broadcast that he wanted money and attention, he currently does not need money. After the controversy grew, Mr. A expressed his apologies to Yang Hong-won, his wife Won Hyun-joo, and their daughter. He apologized, saying, ″I didn’t think things would escalate this much.″ Mr. A also mentioned his mental health issues and emphasized that he is not a reckless person. Yang Hong-won’s agency, AP Alchemy, acknowledged that he accompanied a woman to a motel but explained that it was the motel designated by the exposer and that he went there to find a place to sleep while heavily intoxicated. The agency stated that after entering the room, Yang Hong-won immediately fell asleep, and the woman tried to wake him but ended up asking the exposer for help and then left. The agency claimed that some of the materials released by Mr. A were maliciously edited and said that both Yang Hong-won and the woman involved have filed lawsuits against Mr. A. Yang Hong-won married former model Won Hyun-joo on the 18th, and the couple has a daughter born in 2024.
