The rapper's agency said recent allegations shared online were fabricated, and filed a criminal complaint against the accuser.
Rapper Yang Hong-won's agency has denied allegations that he cheated on his wife, accusing the person behind the claims of fabricating evidence and attempting to extort money from the artist.
In a statement released Friday, Yang's agency AP Alchemy said the allegations were false and that the materials made public had been “maliciously edited.”
“The accuser threatened Yang Hong-won and the woman involved in an attempt to extort money,” the agency said. “When those attempts failed, the accuser went public with allegations based on false information.”
The agency said it had filed a criminal complaint against the accuser on charges of extortion, violating the antistalking law and defamation by spreading false information.
AP Alchemy also provided a detailed account of the incident at the center of the allegations.
According to the agency, Yang and a woman were drinking at the accuser's home after a performance when the accuser demanded that they leave and go to a motel of the accuser's choosing.
The agency acknowledged that Yang, who was heavily intoxicated, and the woman, who had nowhere else to go, ended up at the motel together but denied that anything romantic or sexual took place.
“The two barely spoke to each other even while drinking, and there was no physical intimacy whatsoever in the motel room,” the agency said.
