Actor Ko Kyoung-pyo denied allegations that he took lewd pictures in a photo booth and said he would take legal measures against those who spread such “groundless rumors,” his agency CL&Company said on Tuesday.
"Groundless rumors are being circulated indiscriminately in various online communities and social media platforms," the agency said in a press release. "These actions constitute serious criminal offenses that tarnish the artist’s reputation and dignity."
“We will implement hard-line measures against individuals who create and disseminate such harmful and indiscriminate content through constant surveillance," the agency added.
An anonymous online user posted on X [formerly Twitter] some pictures featuring a man and a woman having sexual intercourse in a photo booth and claimed that the unidentified man in the pictures was actor Ko.
The person further claimed that Ko tried to settle with the photo booth's owner for 300 million won ($207,000).
“We will take legal measures against all illegal actions without any mercy,” CL&Company said.
“We will try our best to protect our artist’s rights for the fans who support him.”
Ko debuted as an actor in 2010 through MBC drama series “Jelly Fish 2" and has since starred in some 40 movies and drama series. He was also a regular cast member on seasons one through three of “SNL Korea,” from 2011 to 2012.
His breakthrough role came in 2015 when he was cast as one of the leads in the retro coming-of-age drama “Reply 1988” that aired on tvN. Some of the other works that Ko is best known for are SBS’s “Dare to Dream” (2015), tvN’s “Sikago Tajagi” (2017) and JTBC’s “Private Lives” (2020).
