Rapper Yang Hong-won drew attention for calling out the name of his wife, Won Hyeon-ju, on stage during a performance, as he was embroiled in infidelity suspicions shortly after his marriage.
Yang Hong-won took the stage at the "Ska Festival" held at Seoul KBS Arena on the 24th.
During the performance, Yang Hong-won sang the lyrics of his song "Rose," which include "Come back to me, Hyeon-ju," verbatim. "Rose" is known to be a song that tells the story of Yang Hong-won's relationship with Won Hyeon-ju.
As videos capturing the scene spread online amid the infidelity suspicions, they drew attention.
Previously, Yang Hong-won was embroiled in infidelity suspicions after an allegation surfaced that he visited a motel with another woman just five days after his wedding ceremony.
It was revealed that Yang Hong-won and Won Hyeon-ju were not following each other on their Instagram accounts after the infidelity allegations were raised on the 23rd.
Subsequently, on the 24th, all of Won Hyeon-ju's Instagram posts disappeared. Posts that had remained until the morning of that day were displayed as zero, and her profile picture was also removed. Her follower count remained at approximately 224,000.
Yang Hong-won's agency acknowledged that he accompanied another woman to a motel but denied the infidelity suspicions, stating that no inappropriate conduct took place.
The woman who accompanied him to the motel also claimed on social media on the 24th that she and Yang Hong-won had slept separately in a bed and on the floor at the time, and that there was no physical contact or other inappropriate behavior.
Yang Hong-won's agency has filed criminal complaints against the initial accuser for extortion, violation of the Stalking Punishment Act, and defamation through the dissemination of false facts.
