Hong Mingi Faces Abuse Allegations as Agency Threatens Legal Action
A woman said actor Hong Mingi hurt and threatened her during their alleged relationship.
She also said he controlled her and looked at her private messages.
Later, she made claims about a pregnancy and abortion.
Hong’s agency said the accusations were false.
The agency also accused the woman of visiting Hong’s home and causing disturbances.
Police were reportedly called to his residence on August 23.
Both sides have said they may take legal action.
Hong has filmed his scenes for Study Group season 2, but there is no confirmed decision about his character.
A woman identified as “A” accused actor Hong Mingi of physical and emotional abuse in a social-media post on August 19, 2026.
Her allegations included assault, threats, controlling behavior, unauthorized access to messages and an intoxicated electric-kickboard incident.
She later alleged that Hong pressured her to terminate a pregnancy, which Fable Company denied.
Fable Company rejected the accusations and said it was considering civil and criminal action, including defamation claims.
The dispute reportedly brought police to Hong’s residence on August 23, while questions remain about his role in Study Group season 2.
