Musical Actor Woo Jin-young Denies Affair Allegations with Park Jun-hwi
Musical actor Woo Jin-young has publicly denied allegations of an affair with fellow actor Park Jun-hwi. The rumors surfaced on June 5, when a photo of the two, appearing to bow their heads, was posted on Park's social media. This was followed by the release of what seemed to be private messages between them, leading some netizens to speculate that Park was involved in an extramarital relationship just before his upcoming wedding.
The situation escalated when details of Park's wedding contract with a woman identified as A surfaced, causing a stir. Although the photo was deleted within ten minutes, it quickly spread across social media and online communities, intensifying the controversy. Both actors faced significant backlash, including stepping down from their ongoing projects.
After remaining silent for nearly ten days, Woo Jin-young took to social media on June 14 to issue a handwritten letter denying the affair allegations. He explained that after a performance on June 4, he and Park had planned a brief meal to discuss the show. Due to the heavy makeup and hair products used during the performance, Park suggested he could wash up while on a video call with his fiancée. Concerned about interrupting, Woo asked if it was okay to clean up.
After the call, while they were watching performance footage together, Park's fiancée arrived, prompting Woo to leave the scene. He acknowledged that the entire situation stemmed from his careless actions and expressed deep regret for any discomfort or disappointment caused.
Woo clarified that the photo in question depicted him bowing his head in surprise, not engaging in any inappropriate behavior. He firmly stated that the claims regarding Park's attire or their positioning were false, asserting that there was no inappropriate relationship or conduct.
He concluded by admitting that visiting Park's personal space was a mistake on his part, and he had naively thought it wouldn't lead to significant issues since there was no romantic interaction. Woo Jin-young extended his sincere apologies to everyone affected by the incident, vowing to carry the weight of the consequences of his thoughtless actions.
