Musical Actor Park Jun-hwi Faces Affair Allegations, Exits Shows Amid Scandal

Musical actor Park Jun-hwi, who was set to marry soon, is embroiled in an affair scandal with fellow actress Woo Jin-young. This controversy has led to his exit from ongoing productions and the impending closure of his fan club.

On Park Jun-hwi's social media, private photos and conversations between him and Woo Jin-young were posted in the early hours of the 5th. The images showed Park in his underwear sitting on a bed with his head down, while a woman, presumed to be Woo, sat beside him with her hands clasped and head bowed. The leaked messages included intimate exchanges typical of a romantic relationship, such as "Can I go take a shower?" and "Change your clothes."

The shock was amplified as Park was on the verge of marriage. Some speculate that the photos and screenshots were uploaded by Park's fiancée as evidence. Although the posts were deleted within 10 minutes, the impact was significant. Park has since deleted his social media account, and Woo has switched hers to private.

As the controversy grew, both actors withdrew from their current performances. The production company of the musical 'Bare: The Musical,' Showplay, officially announced, "Actors Park Jun-hwi and Woo Jin-young, playing the roles of Peter and Tanya, respectively, are stepping down due to personal reasons." Consequently, performances on the 5th and 6th will feature replacements Kang Byung-hoon and Park Do-yeon, while the evening show on the 7th has been canceled.

The production company apologized for the sudden cast changes and inconvenience, stating that ticket refunds and exchanges will be processed without fees through the ticketing platform.

Park has also exited another production, 'Nijinsky.' The production team announced that Shin Joo-hyup will replace him for the matinee on the 8th, and Jung Hwi will take over for the evening show on the 15th. Performances on the evening of the 8th and the 10th have been canceled.

In light of the ongoing scandal, the administrator of Park's fan club announced, "Due to the recent controversy, many fans have experienced shock and disappointment," and decided to close the fan club by June.

As of now, neither Park Jun-hwi nor Woo Jin-young has released an official statement. All eyes are on whether they will address the allegations in the future.
