Musical actor Jeon Ho-jun has revealed his position amid allegations of assault, financial extortion, sexually transmitted diseases, and neglect of a miscarriage by his ex-girlfriend A.

On the 25th, Jeon Ho-jun posted on his social media, "Around 4:40 a.m. on the 24th (Saturday), less than a day after the incident occurred, A made one-sided claims via her social media, and this content spread through the media, indiscriminately exposing my personal life. I feel deep fear as claims that have not been verified are spreading unchecked." He published a lengthy message.

Earlier on the 24th, a lengthy exposé by A, claiming to be Jeon Ho-jun's ex-girlfriend, was posted on an online community, drawing attention. A stated that she was 14 years younger than Jeon Ho-jun and had dated him for a year, alleging, "I was habitually assaulted by Jeon Ho-jun and suffered significant financial damage."

A stated, "I covered all expenses from coffee truck support to dating costs, using the performance as an excuse. I was extorted a total of 10 million won worth of high-priced scarves, necklaces, and mobile phones under the pretext of marriage, and I paid all expenses of 5 million won for airfare, accommodation, and local costs during a trip to Thailand," adding, "I caught herpes from Jeon Ho-jun and suffered a miscarriage. I also supported Pilates expenses of 1 million won per month."

A also claimed, "Jeon Ho-jun entered my house drunk and choked me as soon as he opened the door, grabbed my hair and slammed me to the floor. He pinned me down with his knee on my chest and choked me again, and when I resisted, he slapped me," explaining that Jeon Ho-jun reported himself to the police, resulting in a 'mutual assault.'

Following this, Jeon Ho-jun countered A's claims by posting pictures of his bloodied and bruised face and a voice recording on social media, stating he had been assaulted by A.

In response, Jeon Ho-jun said, "The released recording includes parts that could be misunderstood as my swearing, but that also occurred in the context of the situation at the time. The reason I released the recording and photos without much explanation yesterday was also because I wanted people to verify the overall situation at that time rather than judging by just some claims uploaded on social media."

He continued, "The alleged assault situation described by A occurred while I was preventing her from breaking into my home during the early morning hours. Initially, I tried to calm the situation, but a physical confrontation became unavoidable and escalated into a scuffle, resulting in injuries to my face and head. The photos in question are only a small part of the evidence that the police verified and recorded on-site at that time."

Jeon Ho-jun also acknowledged, "I recognize that there were differences in physical conditions. However, the situation was an unavoidable physical confrontation that occurred while preventing a party who unlawfully entered my home during the early morning hours, and it constituted a legitimate act of self-defense. The injury photos released by the other party alone cannot fully convey the context and urgency of the situation at the time, and I believe there are limitations in judging the entire flow and context of the actual events that transpired right in front of me, as the recording I released only contains audio. The reason for unveiling even recordings that could be interpreted unfavorably for me was to emphasize the need to verify the situation directly without distortion."

Finally, he stated, "In the midst of the flood of articles and endless contact that has occurred in one day, this whole incident has presented me with a very significant psychological burden and pain. However, if distorted claims and false facts continue, I too will have no choice but to respond vigorously to protect my work as an actor and the people around me."

Below is the full text of Jeon Ho-jun's statement.

Hello.
I am musical actor Jeon Ho-jun.

Less than a day after the incident occurred around 4:40 a.m. on the 24th (Saturday), A posted one-sided claims on her social media, which spread through the media, indiscriminately exposing my personal life. I feel deep fear as claims that have not been verified are spreading unchecked.

The released recording includes parts that could be misunderstood as my swearing, but that also occurred in the context of the situation at the time. The reason I released the recording and photos without much explanation yesterday was also because I wanted people to verify the overall situation at that time rather than judging by just some claims uploaded on social media.

The alleged assault situation described by A occurred while I was preventing A from breaking into my home during the early morning hours. Initially, I tried to calm the situation, but a physical confrontation became unavoidable and escalated into a scuffle, resulting in injuries to my face and head. The photos in question are only a small part of the evidence that the police verified and recorded on-site at that time.

The matter with A is a personal issue between A and me, and I do not wish to disclose every situation, nor do I plan to do so in the future. However, I could not bear to watch the swift spread of misunderstandings due to repeated false claims, so I decided to clarify my position and release some materials within a necessary scope.

I acknowledge that there were differences in physical conditions. However, the situation was an unavoidable physical confrontation that occurred while preventing a party who unlawfully entered my home during the early morning hours, and it constituted a legitimate act of self-defense. The injury photos released by the other party alone cannot fully convey the context and urgency of the situation at the time, and I believe there are limitations in judging the entire flow and context of the actual events that transpired right in front of me, as the recording I released only contains audio. The reason for unveiling even recordings that could be interpreted unfavorably for me was to emphasize the need to verify the situation directly without distortion.

In the midst of the flood of articles and endless contact that has occurred in one day, this whole incident has presented me with a very significant psychological burden and pain. However, if distorted claims and false facts continue, I too will have no choice but to respond vigorously to protect my work as an actor and the people around me.

I sincerely apologize to those who are watching for any discomfort I may have caused,
and I hope that what I have conveyed will help to clear up misunderstandings, even if only a little.

Thank you.
Jeon Ho-jun, sincerely
