South Korean actor Park Si Hoo has come under new controversy over claims that he introduced women to a married man, and this is said to have been responsible for the disintegration of that man's family.
On August 5, KST, one social media user by the name of Ms. A uploaded allegations that Park had played the role of an intermediary, linking her husband to other women.
She claimed that the incidents started some time in 2020, when she was living with her family in the UN Village neighborhood.
The posts had screenshots that seemed to reveal text message conversations between Park and Ms. A's husband.
One such message from May 2021 was said to have displayed Park's account sending a bank account number, followed by images of a woman collected from social media.
Ms. A also posted a screen capture of a KakaoTalk chat window that seemed to show recent chats between her husband and Park. She tagged Park's account in her posts and implied she had other proof.

The incident has attracted much attention because of Park's record. In 2013, he faced charges of raping a female trainee after a drinking binge.
Park denied the charge and initiated countersuits against the trainee, a friend, and his then-agency CEO for defamation and attempted blackmail.
The CEO also retorted with a countersuit, and Park was subsequently indicted on quasi-rape and injury by rape charges. The case was eventually dismissed after the victim withdrew her case.
Even though the case didn't lead to a conviction, the event left a lasting effect on Park's public image. The latest charges, although unconfirmed, have brought back public interest.
Park hasn't made any statement on the latest allegations. He was active on TikTok the day Ms. A's post was published.
He has recently appeared on TV Chosun's variety program Dad and Me and confirmed his role in the next K-Drama The Mentalist.
