Actor Park Si-hoo denies allegations of aiding in infidelity and asserts plans for a lawsuit
In August 2025, the latest news surrounding Park Si-hoo's legal issues revolves around accusations of brokering an affair that led to a married couple's breakup. These claims, vehemently denied by Park Si-hoo's agency, Hoo Factory, have been labelled as "completely groundless and false."
The agency has taken a firm stance, filing for mediation with the Korea Press Arbitration Commission and preparing criminal charges against the anonymous accuser for defamation through spreading false information. The accusation originated from a social media post by a woman claiming Park introduced another woman to her husband, leading to the family’s breakdown. However, this was directly refuted by the ex-husband and the woman involved, both denying any such connection with Park or the allegations.
Park’s agency is actively collecting evidence regarding the spread of unverified rumors and malicious comments. They have made it clear that no leniency will be granted, considering the serious damage caused to Park’s reputation. Lawyer Kang Jin-seok has been retained to handle civil and criminal legal measures, including defamation complaints. The agency has also urged the public to refrain from spreading unconfirmed rumors while vowing to prove the claims false through legal processes and police investigation.
At present, Park Si-hoo is not facing direct legal proceedings himself. Instead, he is aggressively pursuing legal action against those spreading defamatory falsehoods about him in the K-pop industry context.
