Musical actress and choreographer Jung Min Hee is making headlines as she addresses some alarming rumors surrounding her involvement in soccer star Son Heung Min’s recent scandal. On May 23, 2025, the performer took to her social media accounts, sharing a shocking direct message that ignited her frustration and disbelief. The inquiry questioned her tie to a controversy involving alleged pregnancy blackmail against Son, leaving her visibly shaken.
The buzz online has centered around speculation that she is the ex-girlfriend accused of attempting to extort ₩300 million KRW (approximately $220,000 USD) from Son through a pregnancy claim. As netizens flooded her DMs and comments with questions, Jung felt compelled to reveal a few of these messages to the public.
Her Instagram story displayed several eye-popping DMs, including:
> DM 1: “Are you the woman who blackmailed Son Heung Min?”
>
> DM 2: “Hello, are you his ex-girlfriend?”
>
> DM 3: “Someone online said your Instagram belongs to his ex. Is it true?”
Clearly frustrated, Jung took a stand in her post:
> “It’s. Not. Me. Just who said that? Stop texting, following, and leaving comments.”
This bold statement seeks to clarify her position as she insists on her innocence amidst a whirlwind of accusations.
Born in 1992, Jung Min Hee is not just an actress; she has carved out a vibrant career on stage since debuting in the musical Aida in 2016. Besides her acting, she is also an accomplished choreographer, recently teaching the popular “Like Jennie” dance to actresses Yum Jung Ah, Lim Ji Yeon, and Park Joon Myun on the hit variety show Unnies’ Farm-to-Table.
In light of the ongoing scandal, Son Heung Min has found himself at the center of a distressing blackmail plot, allegedly involving individuals who falsely claimed a pregnancy to demand money from him. The case is now in the hands of prosecutors, with more developments expected.
