Park Min Young Faces Controversy Over Alleged Financial Ties to Ex-Boyfriend Kang Jong Hyun

In a recent revelation by Dispatch, South Korean actress Park Min Young is under scrutiny for allegedly receiving ₩250 million KRW (approximately $190,000 USD) from her ex-boyfriend, Kang Jong Hyun. Dispatch's exclusive report contradicts Park Min Young's earlier statements where she denied any financial support from Kang Jong Hyun, who is currently embroiled in a massive embezzlement scandal involving Bithumb and its affiliates.

Initially, Park Min Young asserted her ignorance of Kang Jong Hyun's illicit activities and claimed a clean break from their relationship. Dispatch's investigation, however, exposes a three-step process through which the money was funneled into her personal bank account under the guise of a loan, disguised as "living expenses."

Kang Jong Hyun, accused of embezzling over ₩60.0 billion KRW (approximately $45.7 million USD), remains tight-lipped about the allegations. Dispatch reached out to both parties, but Kang Jong Hyun declined to respond, while Park Min Young's side is yet to address the inquiries.

Hook Entertainment, Park Min Young's agency, informed MBC that they are currently investigating Dispatch's report. This revelation comes after Dispatch disclosed the relationship between Park Min Young and Kang Jong Hyun in September 2022.

As the controversy unfolds, fans await further statements from the involved parties and the entertainment industry grapples with yet another high-profile scandal.
