'Physical 100' contestant, two shameless faces who assaulted friend and girlfriend
Recently, Hwang Young-woong has emerged as a hot issue. It was later revealed that Hwang Young-woong was fined 500,000 won for assault in 2016, when he was 22 years old. He said, "As I have become an adult, I have looked back on things that happened in the past and have regretted and reflected on them. It is with regret and a heavy heart that I am finally offering my apology." He added, "I will meet in person to express my apology and ask for forgiveness. And I would like to express my deepest apologies to the many people who have suffered inconvenience and damage due to my wanderings and mistakes."
Young-woong Hwang said, “Although I have a lot of mistakes in the past, I have the will to live a new life. I have worked at a factory for several years since my mid-20s and learned to live a sincere life.” He expressed his apology by saying, "Please forgive me for my shortcomings in the past. And please allow me to become a good member of society and a person who can contribute through my singing life again. I sincerely apologize for everything I have caused you." .
Additionally, Ms. A, who claims to be Hwang Young-woong's ex-girlfriend, posted an expose. Mr. A said, "We broke up 8 years ago. I really want to erase it from my mind, but I can't erase it." He continued, "I'm annoyed because you made me noisy. Are you admitting to the assault, or giving me bribes in a shameful way? After seeing how I was beaten by Hwang Young-woong, at that time, “I survived because my brother stopped me, but now it’s absurd that he took the settlement money even though he wasn’t going to help me, and Hwang Young-woong has never sincerely apologized to me.”
Following Mr. A, Mr. B also said, "She was Hwang Young-woong's girlfriend about 11 years ago, and even when she was flirting with me, she already had another girlfriend who she dated for a long time at XX High School." He added, "I only know 5 women that you met. Even after that, you "I've seen you steal my friend's girlfriend more than once. I don't know why you threw a soju glass at me at a bar because you did something nice. If you threw it because you did something worthy of being hit, I would understand and apologize, but I still don't understand it to this day." The post has now been deleted.
The Seoul Central District Court decided to detain the suspect after conducting an interrogation (substantive warrant review) and determining that there was a risk of destroying evidence and running away. Mr. C is a cast member of Netflix's 'Physical 100', which has recently been attracting attention. Netflix said it was investigating the situation after hearing reports that a cast member was involved in an unpleasant incident.
Additionally, Youngbin, a member of the idol group Blanky, committed date assault. An article titled ‘Idol Dating Assault’ was posted on an online community. According to this, the writer's friend was assaulted on a date by her idol boyfriend. When the writer's friend broke up with her idol boyfriend, he grabbed her by the collar, went to an alley, snatched her cell phone, threw it, strangled her, and assaulted her.
As a result, speculation continued that the idol in question was Blanky Youngbin. Keystone Entertainment, the agency, said in a statement, "After checking the facts regarding the issue raised through a community, it was confirmed that the person involved in the case was Youngbin. We have decided on Youngbin's withdrawal from the team."
Among them, Hwang Young-woong continues to be exposed. A writer who said he was a classmate of Hwang Young-woong on an online community claimed, "I only hit the weak friends, the disabled friends, and those types of kids. I did it to myself to impress my popular friends. You can think of it like Son Myung-oh from 'The Glory'." Hwang Young-woong, 'Physical 100' contestant Mr. C, and former Blankey member Youngbin shocked the public by showing their two shameless faces.
