Actor Jo Han-sun directly denied the allegations surrounding his wife, stating they are not true.

On the 14th, Jo Han-sun posted on his social media, "I laughed a lot while talking with my wife," and dismissed the rumors about his wife by saying, "I wanted to send our children to an international school, but I feel sorry that they haven't even been able to go near one." His agency, Mystic Story, also stated, "After verification, it is not true and completely unrelated."

Earlier on the 14th, The Fact reported that Yoon Kwan, CEO of Blue Run Ventures (BRV), had maintained a close relationship with a celebrity wife, referred to as Ms. A, for about 10 years. According to the report, CEO Yoon provided financial support exceeding 1 billion KRW over 10 years for Ms. A's children's international school tuition and living expenses. Additionally, there were suspicions that he provided an apartment in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, to Ms. A free of charge.

The details emerged from a tax tribunal decision document, in which CEO Yoon's appeal against a comprehensive income tax reassessment was dismissed. The document stated, "The petitioner (CEO Yoon) maintained a private relationship with an acquaintance domestically from around 2010 to 2019, supporting the acquaintance and their children with tuition and living expenses, and allowed free use of an apartment." It also revealed that CEO Yoon had transferred tuition fees to an international school in Jeju, with the recipient's initials matching those of Ms. A's child, according to the media. Following the report, some netizens speculated that "Ms. A is Jo Han-sun's wife."

Meanwhile, Jo Han-sun married Jung Hae-jung, a graduate student majoring in fine arts, in January 2010 after three years of dating. They currently have a daughter and a son. CEO Yoon is the son-in-law of the late Koo Bon-moo, former chairman of LG Group, and husband of Koo Yeon-kyung, CEO of the LG Welfare Foundation. After the tax tribunal's dismissal, he filed an appeal with the Seoul Administrative Court in March last year and is under suspicion of tax evasion involving approximately 12.3 billion KRW related to comprehensive income tax payments. He acquired Guatemalan nationality in 2004 and later obtained U.S. citizenship, but recently faced allegations of nationality forgery during the trial process.
