Rapper Yang Hongwon's agency has categorically denied allegations of infidelity that surfaced shortly after his wedding and announced legal action. Yang Hongwon's side acknowledged that he went to a motel with another woman but denied that they had an inappropriate relationship. It also claimed that the accuser made false claims while demanding money.

On October 23, the previous day, Yang Hongwon's agency AP Alchemy issued an official statement saying, "The accuser's claims are not true, and the materials presented by the accuser are the result of malicious editing."

The agency claimed that the accuser, identified as A, demanded money from and threatened Yang Hongwon and the woman, and spread false information after the demands were rejected. It added that Yang Hongwon and the woman each filed complaints against A on charges of extortion, violating the Act on Punishment of Stalking Crimes, and defamation by stating false facts.

Earlier, on October 23, A raised allegations of infidelity on social media, claiming that Yang Hongwon had gone to a motel with another woman. A released video footage and call recordings related to the incident and reportedly also shared the details with Won Hyeonju, Yang Hongwon's wife.

According to the agency, Yang Hongwon drank alcohol at A's home after finishing a performance. He then went to a motel and fell asleep. The woman who had accompanied him under the circumstances asked A for help waking him, and the two then went home together, the agency said.

The agency emphasized, "They did not have any significant conversation during the drinking session, and there was absolutely no intimate behavior in the room." It acknowledged that Yang Hongwon went to the motel with the woman while maintaining that the allegations of infidelity were false.

The agency also claimed that A edited previous conversations and call recordings to demand money. It said it had refused the demand and was receiving tips from people close to the accuser to support its claim that the incident was deliberately fabricated. It also warned that it would take legal action against those who write posts and comments spreading false information.

Yang Hongwon recently married Won Hyeonju, a former model. The couple had a daughter in November 2024 and married after a long relationship. However, Yang Hongwon became embroiled in a series of controversies over his private life shortly after the wedding.
