Kim Min Gwi
During the height of his career, Kim Min Gwi was involved in a cheating incident where an anonymous woman claimed to be his ex-girlfriend, airing their dirty laundry online.
The woman claimed that she was the former lover of Kim Min Gwi for six years, and during their relationship, the actor had gone to clubs and cheated on her with multiple women.
She also claimed that when she caught the actor cheating, he had asked her to lie for him to save his career. The ex-girlfriend asked Kim Min Gwi to apologize, reflect on his actions and regret what he did.
In response to the claims, Kim Min Gwi sincerely apologizes to his ex-lover as well as to the public for the commotion.
However, the issue did severe damage to the actor's career as his screen time in his then-drama "Nevertheless" were deliberately cut short.
Lee Byung Hun
Unlike Kim Min Gwi, Lee Byung Hun is a veteran actor who has a lot to lose when his cheating issue surfaced.
In 2016, the "Our Blues" actor was caught canoodling with another woman in the presence of his wife at a bar in Hong Kong.
While his wife, actress Lee Min Jung, was sitting beside him, Lee Byung Hun hugs the lady and kisses her on the cheek.

However, this issue was quickly taken down by BH Entertainment, the actor's agency, and claimed that this was just a "friendly gesture."
Fans and viewers refused to believe the agency's claims as Lee Byung Hun was also under fire in the previous year for a cheating and blackmail scandal.
GLAM Dahee and model Lee Ji Yeon threatened the actor to release a video of private content if he didn't pay them 5 billion KRW (approximately 5 million USD).
Lee Byung Hun apologized to the public for causing concerns. In particular, he asked his wife for forgiveness for his unethical deeds and infidelity.
Ahn Jae Hyun
In 2019, happily married couple Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun shocked many with their decision to file a divorce.
Due to their differences and clashing personalities, the two actors decided to part ways. The divorce issue was fueled even more by cheating allegations against Ahn Jae Hyun, who was put under the microscope by the public.
According to Goo Hye Sun, Ahn Jae Hyun spent his late nights at his stylist's house, enjoying her company instead of his wife.
Goo Hye Sun also accused her husband of not finding her "sexy" anymore, which was believed to be the root of the "cheating" scheme.
However, Ahn Jae Hyun firmly states that Goo Hye Sun had "distorted the truth," as they had been living apart after they agreed to get a divorce.
The actor apologized for their very public and messy ordeal which caused discomfort and concern to the public. In addition to that, Ahn Jae Hyun paid Goo Hye Sun the full settlement amount that she demanded.
