Rapper Yang Hong-won releases surprise new album featuring wife's Instagram handle amid affair allegations
Rapper Yang Hong-won has released a surprise single titled "False Report" amid ongoing allegations of an affair, featuring lyrics that appear to reference the controversy and his wife's social media identity.
Rapper Yang Hong-won, who has been embroiled in affair allegations, has released a surprise new album without issuing any specific statement regarding the controversy. According to social media on the 10th, Yang Hong-won released the single album 'False Report' and has currently closed the comment section, offering no separate official position regarding the affair allegations.
The new album contains a total of three tracks, with the lyrics of the new song featuring expressions that seem to be conscious of the recent affair allegations. One song drew attention for including the lyrics, "Baby I'm tired, I'll just sleep for a bit here with these devil X's and wake up."
In the track 'HWAA', the Instagram handle 'michyeogajigo', which belongs to his wife model Won Hyeon-ju, appears. The term is similar to the Korean pronunciation 'michyeogajigo' and is repeated throughout the song. The lyrics also include lines such as "This becomes a chance to change" and "Because you are kind, I am bad."
Some are speculating that these lyrics may be Yang Hong-won's indirect way of expressing his feelings regarding the affair allegations. Yang Hong-won and Won Hyeon-ju are a legally married couple who registered their marriage in 2023 and have a daughter born in 2024, having shared their daily lives through YouTube.
However, Yang Hong-won became embroiled in affair allegations on the 23rd of last month, just five days after his wedding. At the time, his agency admitted to accompanying a woman to a motel but refuted the claims, stating that no affectionate acts occurred in the room and that they had simply fallen asleep. Currently, Yang Hong-won and the woman he accompanied have filed complaints against the whistleblower for extortion and defamation.
