Yang Hong-won Deletes Every Wedding Photo Two Weeks After the Ceremony

Rapper Yang Hong-won has deleted every wedding photo from his Instagram, roughly two weeks after the ceremony. He admitted going to a motel with a woman, denied anything improper, and now the feed that celebrated his marriage is empty.

The cleanup happened on the 2nd. Yang had already removed the caption from one of the posts, a line telling his wife, model Won Hyun-joo, that he loved her and still felt like he was walking into a motel in Cheonho-dong. Then the posts themselves went.

The same day, he shared an Instagram story reading only "GO," alongside a photo from a jewelry brand showing stone-studded earrings and a chain accessory. No explanation came with it. Given the week he's had, people read into it anyway.

How the affair claim unfolded

Yang and Won held their wedding on the 18th of last month. The couple registered their marriage in 2023 and have a daughter born in 2024.

Five days after the ceremony, a man identified as A, who claimed to be an acquaintance of Yang, alleged that the rapper had gone to a motel with another woman. He posted photos of the woman and call records as support.

Yang's side confirmed he went to the motel with her but said there was no inappropriate affection. It also said the materials had been maliciously edited, and that it had filed a complaint against A for extortion, violation of the stalking punishment act and defamation by false statements.

A later reversed his claim, saying he did it because he wanted 300,000 won. That retraction is part of the record too, and it cuts in Yang's favor. The deleted photos cut the other way, at least in terms of optics.

The social media trail

On the 31st, Yang shared a video of Drake's "WNBA" playing, with lines on screen about two people drifting apart and a relationship that shouldn't end easily. He deleted it afterward. Some speculated it was about his wife; he has not said so.

He was also spotted at a Hongdae club on Halloween night, which kept attention on him.

Yang and Won have shown their childcare routines on YouTube for some time. Recently, though, they unfollowed each other on social media, and now the wedding photos are gone. Neither has publicly addressed the state of the marriage.
