South Korean rapper Yang Hong Won has become the subject of public controversy after allegations of infidelity emerged just days after his wedding to model Won Hyun Joo.
His agency, AP Alchemy, has confirmed that the rapper visited a motel with another woman but firmly denied claims that any romantic or intimate interaction took place.
The controversy surfaced on October 23, when an individual identified as “A” shared recordings and messages online alleging that Yang and the woman had visited a motel approximately three to four weeks before his October 18 wedding.
Following the allegations, AP Alchemy released an official statement presenting its account of the incident.
The agency disputed the accuser’s claims, arguing that the materials shared online had been edited misleadingly.
It also announced that Yang and the woman had filed complaints against the individual over alleged extortion, stalking-related violations, and defamation involving false information.
The situation has attracted attention because of its timing, with the allegations emerging only five days after Yang’s wedding ceremony.
However, the claims remain disputed, and the agency’s explanation has not independently established every detail of what happened.
AP Alchemy Explains the Circumstances Behind the Motel Visit
According to AP Alchemy, Yang had met the individual identified as “A” by chance and went to the person’s residence for drinks after a performance.
The agency claimed that, while they were drinking, A instructed Yang and the woman to leave and directed them to a motel.
The agency stated that Yang was heavily intoxicated and needed a place to sleep, while the woman had nowhere else to go at that moment.
According to its account, the two therefore went to the motel together.
AP Alchemy further claimed that Yang fell asleep immediately after entering the room.
The woman later sought A’s assistance and subsequently returned home with that individual.
The agency specifically denied the central infidelity allegations, maintaining that no romantic or intimate interaction occurred between Yang and the woman during the motel visit.
It also accused A of editing private conversations and using the incident to demand money.
According to the agency, Yang and the woman did not comply with the alleged demands and instead filed complaints against the individual.
AP Alchemy said it intends to pursue legal action against those it believes are responsible for spreading false information.
These accusations are the agency’s account of the dispute; the allegations against A have not been established as proven facts in the reports available.
Controversy Emerges Days After Yang Hong Won’s Wedding
The timing of the allegations has added to the public interest surrounding the case.
Yang married model Won Hyun Joo in a ceremony in Seoul on October 18, after the couple had been together for several years.
The couple had also welcomed a daughter in November 2024, before holding their formal wedding ceremony approximately two years later.
Their family life has received public attention through social media and their family YouTube channel, “Yang Hong Won’s Parenting Diary.”
Following the controversy, observers noticed that Yang and Won’s social media accounts no longer appeared to follow one another.
Comments were also temporarily restricted on the family YouTube channel, with the production team citing the need to verify information and protect those involved.
Neither Yang nor Won had publicly commented on the status of their marriage at the time of the report.
For now, the situation remains disputed.
AP Alchemy has acknowledged the motel visit while denying infidelity and alleging that the accusations were fabricated or misleadingly presented.
The agency has also indicated that legal proceedings may follow.
As the controversy develops, further verified information and any official updates from the parties involved will be important in clarifying the circumstances surrounding the incident.
