Broadcaster Kwak Min-seon Faces Online Harassment Over Husband Song Min-kyu's Soccer Transfer

Former announcer and current broadcaster Kwak Min-seon has spoken out about the online harassment she has faced following her husband, soccer player Song Min-kyu's transfer.

On October 12, Kwak took to her Instagram story to express her frustration, stating, "I have been quietly filing complaints without capturing the messages, but new ones keep coming, and it's exhausting. Could you please stop?"

Kwak revealed that she received malicious direct messages from individuals who were upset about rumors and betrayal narratives surrounding Song's free agency. She even received a death threat, with someone saying they would "beat him to death" if they met him at Jeonju Castle before the Jeonbuk match.

She further lamented, "I woke up to messages mocking me, calling me names, and even sexual harassment, questioning if I couldn't even introduce my husband properly."

Song Min-kyu, who has been selected for the national team, played as a forward for Jeonbuk Hyundai before transferring to FC Seoul this season.

Kwak Min-seon, born in 1992, is currently 33 years old and works as an announcer in the e-sports field. Song Min-kyu, born in 1999, is 26 years old, making him seven years younger than Kwak. The couple tied the knot in December last year.
