A revelation has emerged online alleging that a male celebrity received a "hush money" payment of 8 million won, alongside accusations of his double-dating.
On the 28th, a post titled "I received 8 million won from my ex-boyfriend's agency" was posted on the anonymous workplace community Blind. The author, Mr. A, claimed in the post that the male celebrity he once dated was involved in double dating, and in an apparent effort to smooth things over, the agency suggested a monetary compensation of 8 million won and even made the deposit.
Mr. A explained, "They contacted me saying they would send 8 million won as a preemptive compensation because, within half a year, he'll come out on a variety show and publicly prepare for marriage with a new girlfriend, but the timing might not align. When I asked them to clarify what they meant, they said the dates might overlap with when I broke up with him. That means he was seeing someone else or he cheated."
Additionally, Mr. A noted, "He told me not to mention it, implying that he never planned to marry anyway. Should I return the 8 million won that was deposited? Whether I break up with him or not, that's our business. It turns out he was double-dating, and refusing the 8 million won as hush money is my right. I'm so angry, sad, and hurt that I don't think I can go to work tomorrow, so I took a day off."
Following this, online curiosity exploded with questions like 'Who is it?' Some netizens are continuing to speculate and point toward specific individuals. However, the problem lies in the fact that all the content of the post relies on anonymity. There has been no statement from the agency or confirmation of the facts.
The author further commented, "He's not a hot actor, but if he's over 30, people will recognize the name," causing even more questions from netizens. Some have mentioned Shin Hye-sung, who recently announced a surprise marriage, but since the author described the individual as an actor, it appears there may be more anonymous victims among celebrities.
