The actor traveled to the Philippines for a Sure magazine photo shoot on July 10, and the woman in question posted the below photos on her Facebook page the next morning with the caption, "...together sleep with Korean actor ----." The images of Kang Ji Hwan, who looks to be asleep, and the woman immediately circulated online with many speculating that the actor was in a relationship and more.
However, a representative of Kang Ji Hwan told E-Daily on the 11th, "Kang Ji Hwan is currently in the Philippines due to a magazine photo shoot for Sure magazine. The woman in the photos is his guide's wife. He took the photos on the night of the 10th, and it seems she posted them this morning. The guide and Kang Ji Hwan became fast friends there, and he also got close with his wife. The photos were taken for fun, and they've now become trouble. The woman who posted the photos is currently very apologetic, and she said that she would post a message about it on Facebook."
Kang Ji Hwan recently wrapped up filming for the KBS2 drama 'Big Man'. What's your take on this supposed scandal?
[Update: The woman in the photos has posted the following update to her Facebook. She wrote word for word: "very sorry only edited pictures hope you can forgive me because his my idol sorry again." The update causes some confusion as the actor's rep stated the photos were taken as a kind of joke, while the woman claims they were edited.]
