Actor Hong Min-gi's agency denies abortion coercion claims, announces legal action

Actor Hong Min-gi's agency Fable Company has flatly denied allegations that he coerced a woman, identified as A, into terminating a pregnancy. They're skipping public statements and filing legal action instead.

A posted a certified-mail document dated July 28 to her SNS on August 19. Her accusations: physical assault (throwing a soju bottle in the street, riding a kick-scooter drunk), verbal abuse of co-workers and staff, deceiving fans, and mistreating a pet dog. She also said she told Hong about a pregnancy in July, he ignored her, she had an abortion alone, and he blocked her afterward.

Fable Company pushed back hard on the pregnancy claims. Hong never saw a pregnancy test kit. He never pressured anyone to abort. A didn't show him an ultrasound image until August 19 at 6 a.m., when she sent one with a message: "shut up before I blow all of this up too." (That message comes from a single source and hasn't been independently confirmed.)

The agency said it will file civil and criminal proceedings based on evidence already gathered.

Hong was born in 2002 and debuted in 2023 through the U+ Mobile TV original Bami Doeeosseumnida. He has since appeared in tvN's Sarangeun Oenamu Dari-eseo, Tving's Study Group, and MBC's Barnie wa Oppadeul.
