Rumors about celebrities, such as their romantic relationship, are standard things actors learn to live with. For instance, there were speculations that “Descendants of the Sun” actor Song Joong-ki was with his alleged non-celebrity girlfriend in Los Angeles, but Blossom Entertainment, the actor’s agency, was quick to deny the rumor.
However, this time, Blossom is going beyond denying a false report but considering filing a lawsuit, according to Soompi. The threat comes from a report by Dispatch that Soong Joong-ki and Park Bo Gum were allegedly at an adult bar where Park Yoochun reportedly sexually assaulted a woman.
AllKPop attributed the report to have originated from Lee Bong Gyu, panelist of “Powerful Opponents” who claimed the two Hallyu stars, talents of Blossom Entertainment, were at the same bar where Park Yoochun held a birthday party.
Park Yoochun, the 30-year-old former TVX member, was at the bar on June 11 where he picked up a woman and moved to his place where the singer allegedly groped the woman in the bathroom. Prior to this complaint, two other women claimed Park Yoochun did the same thing to them at his house, while a fourth victim said a similar incident happened between them at the entertainment bar after the party.
Because of Lee Bong Gyu’s comments, speculations spread on the internet that Song Joong-ki and Park Bo Gum, the bromance couple in the latest Domino’s Pizza commercial, were also at the bar. Blossoms, besides denying the claim, clarified that on the night the incident happened, Song Joong-ki was attending the Baeksang Art Awards where he and Song Hye Ko got two awards each.
Afterwards, the two, with Yoo Ah In, plus the staff of “Descendants of the Sun” celebrated their victory with a dinner. Blossom Entertainment said the report defamed the two actors. The agency said in a statement, “We will definitely request for an investigation regarding the first source of the rumor as well as pursue legal action against every instance of spreading the false rumor.”
