Actor Jun Ji-hyun, also known as Gianna Jun in English, has denied a rumor that she and her husband have been living apart for six months and that a divorce is imminent.

In a press release, her agency, Culture Depot, said "We have found that groundless rumors about the actress have been indiscriminately spreading online. The sources of these malicious rumors about her are YouTube channel Hover Lab, as well as stock traders."

It went on to say that none of the rumors ― concerning the couple's alleged separation or imminent divorce ― were true, warning of legal action against the rumor-mongers.

"We are going to take legal action against the rumormongers who have spread baseless stories about her and her marriage either through news articles or comments," her agency said.

Jun's agency issued the statement a day after a YouTuber claimed that she and her husband have been separated for six months.

The actor married Choi Joon-hyuk, the grandson of renowned hanbok designer Lee Young-hee, in 2012, and the couple have two sons. Her husband currently runs a private equity fund.
