Scandalous Star Athlete Now Facing Allegations Of Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend
Korean basketball player Heo Ung — known for his controversial personal life and numerous scandals — is now entangled in fresh allegations of assaulting his ex-girlfriend (identified only as Ms. A). The situation has seen conflicting narratives from both parties.
The incident in question took place in May 2021 at a hotel in Seoul. At the time, Heo Ung and Ms. A were on a break from their relationship following a previous abortion. A confrontation between the two escalated into a physical altercation.
Ms. A claims that during the incident, Heo Ung hit her, causing damage to her front tooth laminate. Her lawyer, No Jong Eon, argues that the physical altercation left Ms. A needing medical treatment, with evidence to support her claim. He insists that the damage could not have resulted merely from a fall.
Conversely, Heo Ung admits to a scuffle but denies any intentional harm. His legal representative explained that Heo Ung’s hand accidentally struck Ms. A’s laminate while he was pushing her hand away during a heated argument. They assert that Ms. A herself played down the incident, treating it as a joke.
Ms. A’s friend — a writer and graduate school peer referred to as Mr. B — initially supported Heo Ung’s version, stating that the injury was accidental. However, past statements made by Mr. B on Ms. A’s Instagram live tell a different story.
Ms. A was hit in the face. The dribbling guy (Heo Ung) hit her in the face. He should have been hitting the ball, but instead hit a person’s face. This is real TV news material. The guy who dribbles assaulted someone. I was so furious…
No matter how bad the fight was, violence against a woman is not justified.
— Mr. B
Meanwhile, Ms. A has also shared her emotional distress publicly, revealing that the ordeal led her to contemplate suicide. She mentioned self-treating her injuries, criticizing Heo Ung for abandoning her.
It was tough. I was so distressed that I tried to end my life…
…I originally had a lot of things to make public, but I held back. There are things that would turn everything upside down if you knew, but I will keep my mouth shut.
— Ms. A
The new assault accusations only add to Heo Ung’s history of controversies, including a relationship with a controversial actress and alleged ties to other scandals.
