Rumor links actress to Cho Kuk scandal
Actress Kim Sung-ryung is the subject of a rumor that she allegedly benefitted from the support of besieged justice minister nominee Cho Kuk. 



Fans of actress Kim Sung-ryung have reacted strongly to a rumor that besieged justice minister nominee Cho Kuk allegedly supported Kim. 
 

They posted pleas to an online community asking people to refrain from defaming the actress.
 

The rumor started when renowned YouTuber Kim Young-ho, a former journalist and editor, uploaded a video revealing the accusations against Cho on Sunday. 
 

Kim Young-ho claimed that an actress benefitted from Cho and started appearing on television more often. He mentioned that Cho's sibling and the husband of the actress have a close relationship and that the actress is now divorced. Throughout the interview, no names were revealed. 
 

Cho responded quickly on Facebook, saying it is not true and legal action will be taken against the YouTuber. 
 

However, the post of Kim's fans brought more attention to the rumor. 
 

A netizen commented: "Kim Young-ho never mentioned her name but why are you guys [fans of Kim Sung-ryung] starting to engage in this rumor yourselves?" Others were indifferent. One online user wrote: "I believe more focus should be given to serious matters such as the academic fraud of his daughter." 
 

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-ryung has not reacted to the rumor, especially the YouTuber's biggest claim ― her divorce. Some netizens are waiting for her explanation. A fan wrote: "If you just say that you did not divorce your husband, the rumor will subside."
