Park Min-young's wealthy ex-boyfriend Kang Jong-hyun's real face has been exposed. 

On the 8th, MBC's 'PD Note' aired suspicions about the second largest cryptocurrency exchange in Korea (Bithumb)'s governance structure as well as Kang Jong-hyun and his sister Kang Ji-yeon, the largest shareholder of Bident and allegations that Bithumb received "bribes" when listing coins. 

'PD Note' revealed, "Kang Jong-hyun is referred to as "hidden Bithumb Chairman" and spends 100 to 300 million won per night drinking at famous clubs in Gangnam from 2017-2020. He also visited clubs and 'Ten Pro' room salons where he was attended by 10 female hostesses and a madam. It was common for him to order expensive champagne and spend 100 million won on drinks alone."

Later, when Kang Jong-hyun's dating rumors with actress Park Min-young were reported by Dispatch and caught attention, Kang Jong-hyun explained that "he only made money through the mobile phone business and lived in his friend's house, and the supercars in the parking lot belonged to others."

He further revealed that the "500 million won luxury watch" he was wearing while dating Park Min-young was "just a fake." He even claimed "he did not own the supercars worth hundreds of millions of won" and "one of them belonged to Sung Yu-ri's husband, former golf player Ahn Sung-hyun." 

Kang Jong-hyun was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison suspended for 3 years probation for exaggerating his mobile phone sales and using this as collateral to take out a 3.5 billion won loan. The 2 billion won loan has not been repaid and using the company name, he borrowed a total of 10 billion won on three occasions but didn't repay the loan because he does not have property in his name. As a result, suspicions that he's "hiding the loans" are emerging. 

Two years after he was convicted of loan fraud, his younger sister Kang Ji-yeon invested 23 billion won to acquire Bit Galaxia's No. 1 Investment Association. Kang Jong-hyun took over control and management and became major shareholder of Bucket Studio, Inbiogen, and Bident.

Nam Cheong-woo, secretary general of a minority shareholder movement pointed out, "It's impossible in the capital market to acquire 3 companies at once with 23 billion won. We have no choice but to suspect that there's a "money line" (backer) behind him."

Regarding claims that Kang Jong-hyun is the 'hidden Bithumb chairman,' the PR Director of Bithumb Korea stated, "This person (Kang Jong-hyun) has never held a position or been given title of chairman. He has no relation to us. The current major shareholder of Bithumb is Lee Jeong-hoon, founder and former chairman of Bithumb Holdings who has a 65% stake."

With regard to claims that Bithumb received "bribes" to list company Q on their exchange, the PR Director stated, "Bithumb can decide on its own whether to list or abolish a cryptocurrency. We never received money to list them in our exchange."

Meanwhile, the CEO of company Q disclosed related documents and revealed that "they paid 1 billion won for the listing and 2 billion won for marketing for a total of 3 billion won to be listed on Bithumb."
