Actor Jun Ji-hyun has denied that she is getting a divorce after YouTube channel Hover Lab made the allegation on Thursday.

“Rumors about her divorce or separation livestreamed by Hover Lab are all false,” her agency Culture Depot said.

“Right now information that is untrue is spreading online and we’ve located the source of it which is the Hover Lab’s livestream and malicious unfounded gossip,” it said.

“We want to dispell the false information and straighten out the facts, and we are planning to take strong legal measures related to circulating articles and comments that are not true.”

In a livestream on Wednesday evening, Hover Lab said that Jun had been living separately from her husband for six months because he had an affair.

Jun married an entrepreneur named Choi Joon-hyuk, the grandson of the famed hanbok (Korean traditional dress) designer Lee Young-hee, in 2012. The pair have two sons.

She is expected to appear in Netflix series “Kingdom: Ashin of the North” and tvN drama series “Cliffhanger” this year.
