In a dramatic reversal, a Korean actor accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend has been cleared of all charges—and revealed to be the actual victim. Actor Jeon Ho Jun broke his seven-month silence today to announce the legal conclusion to his case.

"My Life Collapsed in an Instant"

On December 24th, Jeon Ho Jun addressed the allegations in a lengthy Instagram post. "For the past seven months, I have had to endure serious misunderstandings and stigmatization based on claims that were not true," he wrote. "I painfully experienced how a person’s everyday life can collapse in an instant." He explained that he'd faithfully participated in legal proceedings to uncover the truth and confirmed the results today.

The investigation concluded that Jeon Ho Jun was not the perpetrator, but the victim of assault. According to OSEN, the prosecution issued a 'non-prosecution decision' regarding the charges filed against him. "It was confirmed through the investigation that I was struck on the head with a cellphone and only took minimal defensive actions to protect myself," he stated.

Conversely, the other party has reportedly been prosecuted on charges including defamation through spreading false facts, special injury, and trespassing. "It was clearly confirmed that many of the provocative claims circulating about me were also false," he added.

Gratitude and a Path Forward

Jeon Ho Jun expressed his sincere gratitude to his supporters. "I was able to endure this time thanks to my family and friends who believed in me, as well as those who quietly supported me," he said. Looking ahead, he stated his intention to move on quietly: "Now that the facts have been clarified, I hope this matter will be concluded here. I intend to calmly live my life as an individual."
