Park Ji-hoon Fans Target Co-star Hong Ye-ji with Malicious DMs, K-Netizens Criticize Overzealous Behavior

South Korean actress Hong Ye-ji (홍예지) recently revealed a malicious direct message (DM) she received from a hater. The sender not only accused her of deliberately creating dating rumors and using them for publicity but also demanded she stop associating with a certain male celebrity. Unable to tolerate the harassment, Hong Ye-ji publicly shared a screenshot of the message, sparking heated discussion online.

On the 30th, Hong Ye-ji posted a screenshot of the DM on her personal social media. The sender began by stating, “I don’t dislike you, nor do I particularly follow you.” However, the message quickly turned accusatory, questioning Hong Ye-ji’s perceived avoidance of mentioning a particular male celebrity. The sender wrote, “Your constant deliberate avoidance of mentioning XXX makes it seem like you’re intentionally creating ‘self-produced dating rumors,’ which is very off-putting.”

The message continued, “That ambiguous attitude always leads to external speculation, and I truly dislike it. If you’re trying to associate with him in any way, please don’t even try a little bit.”

The sender concluded with disrespectful remarks, expressing hope that the male celebrity would successfully complete his projects and continue his acting career, adding, “Don’t let yourself become a blemish or noise in his career.” The message even dared her, “Just stay in your original place and live your own life.”

Although Hong Ye-ji redacted all names and project titles mentioned in the DM, many Korean netizens speculated that the sender was likely a fan of singer and actor Park Ji-hoon (박지훈), based on the content.
