Theater actor Jeon Ho-jun (43), known for his roles in 'Kinky Boots' and other productions, is facing further allegations of dating violence from an ex-girlfriend.
On the 28th, the ex-girlfriend, identified only as Ms. A, claimed via social media that "while dating me, Jeon Ho-jun was contacted by six other women he was seeing." She urged those who had been harmed or were in a relationship with Jeon from June last year to May this year to reach out, promising to compile and share their stories.
Previously, Ms. A alleged that after losing contact with Jeon, she visited his home only to be grabbed by the hair and choked, sustaining injuries equivalent to a three-week medical recovery.
In contrast, Jeon has countered these claims by releasing an audio recording of the incident, arguing that he was merely trying to restrain an agitated Ms. A after she hit him in the head with a phone, causing him to bleed.
The dispute between the two has escalated to a legal battle. Ms. A accuses Jeon of defrauding her of money and goods under the pretense of marriage, in addition to unilateral assault, and is preparing to take legal action with a lawyer. Jeon, on his part, insists his actions were in self-defense and has also appointed a lawyer.
Jeon made his debut in the musical 'Notre Dame de Paris' in 2007 and has since appeared in 'Cats', 'Chicago', 'Notre Dame de Paris', 'Wicked', 'Kinky Boots', 'The Rocky Horror Show', and was also active in the 2023 JTBC audition program 'Phantom Singer 4'.
