Former T-ara member Ahreum has opened up about her struggles with her boyfriend, Mr. Seo, through an emotional series of posts on Instagram.

On December 3, Ahreum shared, "I’ve been hit multiple times, and despite that, I endured for the child’s sake and withdrew complaints countless times. The assault footage is still with the police, and it’s a situation where everything can be proven. But I won’t stay silent anymore."

Ahreum also revealed that she is pregnant. She wrote, "Because of you, I can’t see my children whenever I want. It breaks my heart that there’s another life with your blood inside me, but what can I do? It’s life."

She expressed frustration about the lack of support during her pregnancy, saying, "You’re the kind of person who would criticize me for taking a break when I’m struggling with morning sickness. I’m filled with guilt toward the baby. Do your best, because I will do everything in my power to bring you down. Not that there’s much more to destroy, but I have nothing left to lose."

Ahreum also posted screenshots of threatening messages she claims were from Mr. Seo, writing, "You paid a fine because you threatened me like this. Go ahead, try to kill me. Tomorrow, I’ll file a complaint against you for threats. You’ll face judgment in death. Live knowing that. It’s pathetic."

Ahreum originally joined T-ara in 2012 but left the group in 2013. She married a businessman in 2019 and has two sons. However, she announced last year that she was undergoing a divorce and later revealed her relationship with Mr. Seo. She recently gave birth to her third child.

Fans are sending messages of support to Ahreum, praising her for speaking out and hoping she finds peace and safety for herself and her children.

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
