BREAKING | Contestant of Miss Korea claps back at Hwang Jung Eum over accusations of being the mistress of the actress’s husband!
In the early morning of April 4th, Hwang Jung Eum unexpectedly released a photo of the “third party” breaking her marriage along with harsh criticism: “Hey ugly. Please marry Young Don. Can’t you go to Thailand after you divorce me?” It is known that the girl in the photo is Jo Ha Eun, born in 1996 and a former contestant of Miss Korea Seoul 2020. Although Hwang Jung Eum quickly deleted the photo, it was enough to stir up the online community.
By the morning of April 4th, Jo Ha Eun strongly responded to the accusation of being a “third party” in Hwang Jung Eum’s marriage. The source of the story began with Jo Ha Eun expressing gratitude to Lee Young Don in a photo from their Bangkok trip. Through Osen, the beauty born in 1996 stated: “The three of us went on a trip to Bangkok. We didn’t even know Hwang Jung Eum’s husband’s name is Lee Young Don. Lee Young Don is the nickname of your female friend in the group for the past 2 years. That’s why I wrote the post like that, and then Hwang Jung Eum posted it. I guess someone sent our post to her.”
However, this girl quickly denied knowing Hwang Jung Eum’s husband. Lee Young Don is just the nickname of her friend, not Hwang Jung Eum’s husband.
Jo Ha Eun sternly threatened to sue Hwang Jung Eum for defamation: “Then what will happen to us if a public figure with 1 million followers posts baseless, unverified, unsubstantiated claims? We just bought tickets for a trip and can show you everything. We have no connection to Lee Young Don, only knew he is Hwang Jung Eum’s husband after reading about the divorce. If you don’t apologize or issue a proper correction, we will hire a lawyer to sue you for defamation. We don’t think this is something that can be overlooked.”
The new development from Jo Ha Eun quickly dominated the media in Korea. Many people expressed skepticism, saying that every “third party” always makes excuses. However, there were quite a few who believed that Hwang Jung Eum acted too hastily, without verifying the story before posting, which affected others’ reputation.
