Hwang Ui Jo’s lawyer revealed that the athlete had filed charges against five Instagram accounts but that there was a high chance that the same person was behind all of them.

We submitted evidence on five accounts that threatened Hwang Ui Jo and uploaded Instagram posts. There is a high chance that the same person runs the accounts.

Previously, a netizen pretending to be Hwang Ui Jo’s ex-girlfriend posted several allegations against the player in which they claimed that the athlete gaslighted them and had dated several women at the same time, which Hwang Ui Jo’s agency dismissed as false. The netizen also uploaded an NSFW video of the athlete.

Currently, all the contests uploaded to social media of the player are false, and we will be taking strict legal action against those who spread slander and defame the player.

We strongly condemn the fake rumors that have negatively impacted the player, and we will take strict legal action against those spreading unfounded rumors.
