Han Ji-min Criticized as Boyfriend’s Controversial Family is Revealed

On August 8, it was officially announced that top actress Han Ji-min and Choi Jung-hoon, a singer from rock band JANNABI, were in a relationship. However, the celebration was cut short when details about Choi Jung-hoon’s controversial family began to surface.

Specifically, there was strong backlash after Choi Jung-hoon’s father was convicted and sentenced to 3 years in jail for fraudulent activities.

Furthermore, there are numerous comparisons being made between the relationship of Han Ji-min and Choi Jung-hoon and that of Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in. This is due to the fact that Lee Da-in’s step-father, who has caused harm to multiple individuals, is also a criminal.

Netizens have made the following comments:

Ah, so he is the male counterpart of Lee Da-in. Korea is truly a dreamland for fraud criminals
Han Ji-min can do so much better than a son of a criminal
He acted like he was poor but he actually comes from a rich family who earn their wealth from fraud. Han Ji-min shouldn’t stoop to this level
Everyone saying Han Ji-min can do better… Dating such a man alone may mean she’s just as bad
Han Ji-min’s image is going to be seriously ruined due to this
