According to a June 27 Sports Seoul report, Hwang Ui Jo’s representatives revealed that the footballer previously was previously threatened by someone alleging they had his phone.

The report states that the footballer had his phone stolen in Greece and that last month he had been contacted by someone claiming to have his phone. According to the report, the alleged thief had contacted him through social media and threatened to expose the contents of his phone.

Hwang Ui Jo’s representatives further speculated on how his phone may have been hacked and suggested that the allegations and video leak from the previous day were the work of a hacker and not the footballer’s ex-girlfriend.

After he received the message, we searched for the sender with a local agent. Hwang Ui Jo’s phone is an iPhone, which is famous for being hard to hack. Ultimately, someone got a hold of his phone and, months later, hacked into his phone. We are more alarmed that the post from yesterday was in Korean.

Previously, fans were stunned when a person alleging to be Hwang Ui Jo’s ex-girlfriend claimed that the footballer had gaslighted her and several other women, including celebrities. The alleged ex-girlfriend then leaked an NSFW video of the footballer with a woman.

I am a woman who dated Hwang Ui Jo. He has gaslighted several women by acting as if they were dating to sleep with them before ending the relationship saying he had to go overseas. There are so many victims like me, including celebrities. Turns out he had been dating someone during this time. He is currently dating celebrities, influencers, and non-celebrities, all at the same time. I am not sure how many more victims there are.
