Earlier this month, a woman claiming to be Junhyuk’s ex-girlfriend began discussing her relationship with the idol on Weibo, exposing private messages between them.

According to her, when he began pursuing her, he had not ended things with others, meaning he cheated with her.

• “Goddess, did he cheat?”
• “When he was chatting me up, he still hadn’t broken it off with others yet.”

She shared messages between the two of them, and included the details of the situation, accusing him of two-timing her, and of getting caught messaging his ex-girlfriend.

Junhyuk: “I have something to say.”
Alleged Ex: “Why? What, what, what?”
Junhyuk: “Are we just friends?”
Alleged Ex: “Why are you saying this all of a sudden?”
Caption: “He suddenly said this on the 24th hahaha. He really has split personality. He got what he wanted, was scared his two-timing would be discovered, so he had to notify me first, huh?”

Ex: “Can you let me be alone? Go back to your room.”
Junhyuk: “I’m sorry.”
Ex: “I don’t know how to describe my feelings right now. Maybe I’ll feel better after a while. Alright? I’ll go find you when I’m better, okay?”
Junhyuk: “Alright, I hope you won’t misunderstand. Sorry.”
Caption: “This is when I went to Beijing to see him but accidentally saw his message to his ex-girlfriend on KakaoTalk. I asked him who she was, and he said a good friend. I saw her profile photo and asked if he was sure about that, and he told the truth only because his lie was exposed.”

Additionally, she claimed that she spent money for all their dates, while he did nothing, including taking all of his photos. She provided evidence of this claim with a photo of the two of them that matched a now-deleted image on his Instagram account.

In response to the allegations, Junhyuk shared an apology for “hurting fans.”
