Comedian Jo Hye-ryeon to take strong action against sex-trafficking rumors
Comedian Jo Hye-ryeon aims to track down the source of rumors alleging that she has worked as a sex-trafficking broker.
“Groundless rumors are being circulated as established facts,” her agency KOEN TN Entertainment said Monday in an official press release.
According to the rumors, Jo Hye-ryeon arranged for well-known actresses to be prostituted to wealthy men. The agency has filed a formal request to the police to look into the matter more carefully, hoping to prevent further damage by confronting the vicious rumors head-on.
Jo is reportedly experiencing extreme stress and her family and close acquaintances are also being affected by rumors spreading through the so-called “stock market tabloids.”
