Where Is He Now? The Actor Who Allegedly Abandoned His Pregnant Girlfriend

From Produce 101‘s voting fraud to the Burning Sun sex crimes, the Korean entertainment world is no stranger to scandal. In the aftermath, some stars disappear from the entertainment industry while others rise from the ashes.

The club Burning Sun became embroiled in controversy during a sex scandal in 2019.

In 2021, news broke that “Actor K” had been accused by his ex-girlfriend of abandoning her during her pregnancy. She also claimed that the actor threatened her with a lawsuit when she asked him to delete her nude photos.

At the time of the allegations, actor Go Se Won stepped forward to identify himself as “Actor K” and released a statement through his agency, Hunus Entertainment.

Go Se Won’s statement revealed details about his personal life, including his divorce and three-month relationship with a woman he met afterward. In it, he apologized and said he would step up to take responsibility “for the things [he] should be held responsible for.”

Hello, this is Go Se Won’s agency, Hunus Entertainment.

We would like to relay the statement made by Go Se Won, who is an actor under Hunus Entertainment.

‘Hello, this is Go Se Won.

I would like to express my sincere apologies for causing concern with such negative news.

I got divorced back in 2017. The reason why I did not announce the divorce at the time was because I was trying to make things work. However, in the end, we couldn’t get back together.

At the end of last year, I ended up meeting this woman and we dated for about three months.

Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize to the woman for everything. I will make sure to take responsibility for the things that I should be held responsible for.

I believe that I will have an opportunity to share my honest feelings due to the ongoing difficult times that I have endured.

I would like to take this time to express my sincere apologies, once again, to those who may have been inconvenienced.’
