[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Actor Jang Dong-gun and his wife Go So-young recently traveled to Hawaii, USA, and Jang Dong-gun's solo return has attracted netizens' attention.

On the 15th, Ilgan Sports quoted an entertainment industry insider saying, "Jang Dong-gun, who went on a family trip, returned on the 13th."

According to the report, Jang Dong-gun returned earlier due to scheduling reasons, while Go So-young and their children are expected to return separately.

Earlier, a media outlet reported that the couple Jang Dong-gun and Go So-young left for Hawaii last week to take a vacation and recharge.

Later, a netizen shared, "An acquaintance saw Jang Dong-gun and Go So-young on a flight to Hawaii on the 7th. It was surprising to see the star couple sitting in economy class." The netizen added, "The couple, with their two children, sat separately in pairs. I also saw them at immigration, and I thought the couple was silent and the atmosphere was tense." The authenticity of this netizen's post has not been verified.

Meanwhile, on the 10th, photos containing partial text messages presumed to be a conversation between actor Joo Jin-mo and another male actor A were released on various online communities.

The two reportedly exchanged photos of several women and made sexual remarks evaluating their appearances. It was also reported that they arranged meetings with other women.

In response, Joo Jin-mo's agency, Why Brothers Korea, issued an official statement that day, indicating a strong stance by saying, "All acts of creating, posting, or distributing rumors are subject to legal punishment."

Jang Dong-gun is recently suspected of being involved in the hacking incident of actor Joo Jin-mo's phone. However, it is not confirmed whether Joo Jin-mo and Jang Dong-gun had the conversation in question.
