Actress Song Ji-hyo’s agency has announced plans to take strong legal action regarding recent allegations that her father failed to repay a personal loan.
The controversy emerged when a YouTuber claimed that Song Ji-hyo’s father borrowed 150 million KRW (around $110,000) and failed to pay back the debt. The accuser asserted that attempts to contact Song Ji-hyo directly over the issue had been ignored. In response, the actress’s agency firmly denied the accusations and called them baseless and criminal in nature.
Why it matters
The agency emphasized that this situation is more than a simple rumor — it’s the spread of false information that harms Song Ji-hyo’s reputation. They described it as a clear violation of her rights and pledged to file both civil and criminal lawsuits against those responsible for initiating and spreading the claims. Song Ji-hyo is known globally for her long-running role on the variety show Running Man, and her agency wants to protect her integrity not just in Korea but also internationally.
