[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] Actor Go Kyung-pyo has completely denied allegations of visiting a nightlife establishment.

On the afternoon of the 15th, a photo of Go Kyung-pyo and an ordinary woman was posted on an online community. Netizens expressed anger, saying, "He visited a nightlife establishment during this situation." The controversy grew larger as the issue arose at a time when the spread of COVID-19 was severe in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas.

However, regarding the suspicion of visiting a nightlife bar, Go Kyung-pyo's agency stated to a media outlet, "Go Kyung-pyo visited the agency office after filming a drama, and afterwards had a light drinking gathering nearby," adding, "He was only asked for a photo by someone he did not know and has no acquaintance with that person at all." They also added, "The location where the photo was taken is a regular pub."

Meanwhile, the JTBC drama 'Private Life,' starring Go Kyung-pyo and Seo Hyun, will premiere on September 16.
