Actor Kang Kyung-Joon has reportedly gone into hiding with a woman, identified only as Ms. A, after being sued for adultery. The Sunday Newspaper reported that both Kang and Ms. A, who worked together at a real estate agency, have disappeared following the news of Kang's lawsuit for adultery by Ms. A's husband.

According to the report, Kang and Ms. A became close while working at the agency. However, after media reports surfaced last month about Kang being sued by Ms. A's husband for 50 million won in damages for adultery, both Kang and Ms. A stopped showing up at the agency.

Since April 4th, both Kang and Ms. A have been absent without leave. The agency demanded an explanation and resolution from the two, but they became unreachable after stating there had been "a misunderstanding."

Ms. A was a regular employee, while Kang was on a temporary contract. The agency sent Ms. A a notice of impending dismissal but has had no contact since then. For Kang, a notice of termination has been issued.

KStar Global ENT, Kang's agency, initially responded on April 3rd, acknowledging receipt of the legal complaint and stating plans for sequential responses due to the possibility of misunderstandings. However, the agency changed its stance on April 8th after explicit messages between Kang and Ms. A, such as "I want to hold you," "I love you," and "Thinking of you," were revealed, apologizing for causing social controversy and stating they couldn't comment on the actor's private life.

The agency also revealed that Kang's exclusive contract expired last October. While they were supporting him during his schedule for 'The Return of Superman' and discussing a contract extension, they have decided to halt these discussions until the resolution of this incident.

Kang Kyung-Joon is married to actress Jang Shin-Young since 2018 and has two sons. The couple has appeared on shows like SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' and KBS 2TV's 'The Return of Superman', showcasing their affectionate family life.
