In a bizarre twist, on December 19, Jin Ga Hyun’s agency, M Place, responded to the controversy by revealing that the actress was no longer signed to the agency and had retired from the industry.

Jin Ga Hyun was signed with us from November 2020 to May 2022 but eventually ended her contract with us and has quit the entertainment industry. All of Jin Ga Hyun’s recently released promotions had been filmed during this time.

When asked why the actress had left, the label revealed that Jin Ga Hyun had started a restaurant and had quit the industry soon after.

She quit her struggling acting career after starting a restaurant with the owner of a previous restaurant she had worked at. We respected her wishes to lead a private life and canceled her contract.

Lastly, the label spoke about the current controversy surrounding her and expressed regret at the criticism.

We are releasing this statement because we feel regretful about the allegations claiming that she was using the show for marketing. We would like to say that Jin Ga Hyun was an actress who worked diligently in an unfavorable environment and was someone who never compromised herself. We are rooting for her.

Also, on this day, the restaurant that the actress allegedly runs also released a statement. Rumors of her being the owner of a successful restaurant in Gangnam quickly spread, but allegations soon sparked over the revelation that the restaurant’s owner was listed as a man.

We will reveal why the rumors are false and why her appearance on the show has nothing to do with her acting career after the show is over. Our restaurant has several owners.
