The 24-year-old actor has been accused of alleged physical and verbal abuse during their relationship, with the influencer sharing a detailed account on social media on August 19, along with a certified legal document issued through a law firm. South Korean actor Hong Mingi , known for his roles in Love Your Enemy and Study Group , has found himself at the centre of a serious controversy after an influencer accused him of dating violence, threats and emotional abuse. Both sides have now presented sharply different versions of what happened during and after their relationship, while the allegations remain unverified.
Hong’s agency, Fable Company, has rejected the accusations and said it is preparing to take legal action.
She wrote, “I have just seen the statement released by Hong Min-gi’s side. Following the agency’s statement, Ms A responded again on her Instagram Stories and denied that she had stalked Hong or demanded that he meet her. The claims that I visited his house (stalking) and demanded that he meet me again are not true. I was only asking for a minimal apology, and I believe that this kind of secondary victimization, which presses a person down in this manner, is wrong. His performance in To My Beloved Thief earned him a Best New Actor – Television nomination at the Baeksang Arts Awards.
In 2026, he appeared in Doctor on the Edge and has also completed filming for the second season of Study Group.
She said she was seeking what she described as a basic apology and accused the actor’s side of further victimising her.
Hong and Ms A began dating around April 2026, according to the agency. She even arrived at Hong’s home around 1 a.m. on August 19 and remained there until around 4 a.m., ringing the bell and hitting the door, according to the company. Because the matter involved a private relationship and he hoped the dispute could be settled without further escalation, [Also read: Study Group actor Hong Mingi accused of violence; ex-girlfriend alleges assault, threats and abuse ] According to Soompi, Fable Company said Hong Mingi had initially chosen not to respond publicly. Because she is not a celebrity, the agency continued to refer to her as Ms A.
It claimed that during their relationship, Hong discovered that she had remained in contact with her former boyfriend. The statement quoted her as saying, “When I think about the pain I caused you, I know I don’t even have the right to approach you like this. I’m truly sorry, with no excuses. The agency, however, claimed that Ms A continued trying to contact him and repeatedly went to his home. It also alleged that she visited his family’s residence.
However, the agency said the influencer’s decision to share the legal notice and related posts publicly had led to the claims spreading online. The agency said Ms A admitted in a letter and private messages that she had met someone else while she was dating Hong and apologised for it. Fable Company said Hong subsequently decided that the trust between them had been irreparably damaged and repeatedly made it clear that he did not want to continue the relationship. The agency said CCTV footage allegedly showed her covering the front-door camera with a sticker and kicking the door. It described these incidents as unwanted approaches and said it was considering action under anti-stalking laws.
