Rumors are pouring out regarding actress A (40s) that was attacked by her husband B (30s).
Husband B was arrested by police on 14th after stabbing his actress wife with a knife in front of her kids before school. A is currently separated from B due to an emergency temporary measure.
According to police, investigations revealed B bought the weapon in the morning and waited for A in front of her house and committed the crime. He stabbed her in the neck and she was rushed to the nearby hospital for treatment. It's known that her life is currently not in danger.
After the incident was reported, speculations about the victim A were posted online. In particular, some bloggers wrote it was assumed A was Choi Ji-woo because she's 48 years old this year and her husband is 39, fitting the age of the couple in the case.
Beginning the morning of the 15th, some media suddenly modified articles to write "actress in her 40s" and reported on Choi Ji-woo's current situation, raising suspicions.
But A is not Choi Ji-woo. Her agency YG Entertainment is aware that Choi Ji-woo's name is being mentioned online in relation to the incident. However, they do not seem to take any special position despite concerns of secondary damage.

Hints from media: Supermodel-turned-actress, supporting role, victim in her 40s, husband in his 30s, recently re-married in secret, has one child under her wing. But its not Choi Ji-woo, Jang Yoon-joo, Choi Ji-yeon.. or a celebrity everyone would just know by name. They keep putting out hints so of course we'll keep guessing until we get it right assaulting the victim twice. What do they expect?
