[OSEN=지민경 기자] While suspicions were raised that actors Kim Hee-ra and Lee Ah-jin made sexual harassment remarks, Jung Woo-yeon, the person concerned, explained this.
On the 7th, Jung Woo-yeon posted a long article on his Instagram story, saying, “I am writing this because many people who are concerned about this incident seem to have deep misunderstandings about work.”
He said, “At that time, I saw a comment saying that I could check questions about things during the live broadcast, and with that function, I opened a window and all the things I received were publicly displayed.” I did not recognize that I was losing, so I continued to play Labang without commenting on the question.”
Jung Woo-yeon continued, “At the time of confirming with the question of nothing, we had a lot of conversations related to each other, so I thought it was an extension of the conversation, so I didn’t feel offended by that. I want to say that this was not a question meant to attack me.”
He also said, “If I had known that these questions were openly shown at the time, I would have quickly told the people I was watching with at the time, but I feel responsible because I didn’t recognize this and made it a big deal.”
Lastly, he said, “I have talked with the actors in question and hope there is no misunderstanding. Thank you for your concern.”
Previously, an article titled ‘Actors Hierra Kim and Ajin Lee, and fellow actresses sexual harassment case’ was posted on various online communities.
According to the article, unmarried musical female actress A received a series of questions about ‘pregnancy’ from a netizen while conducting a live broadcast through SNS.
The netizen poured out embarrassing questions such as “When are you going to get pregnant, next year, or 2024?”, and fans who were watching in real time reported it.
During the report process, it was revealed that the netizens who asked the question were Mr. A’s fellow actors, Kim Hee-ra and Lee Ah-jin, and criticism was poured out against the two.
As this content spread around the online community, Lee Ah-jin posted a long explanation on her SNS on the 7th. He said, “In 2021, at a gathering with acquaintances to congratulate colleague B, who was about to get married at the time, I talked about the colleague’s child plan.” I posted a platform to receive questions using the Ask Anything (hereafter referred to as nothing) function, and I thought that only the author could check the questions sent, so I left a question to Mr. A asking if she is expecting a pregnancy in 2024, and Mr. A responded to that question. I received a response through personal contact.”
He continued, “I think it’s misleading enough if you just look at the sentence of my question without knowing the situation. It’s my negligence to leave a private story without recognizing that it’s a space that can be disclosed. However, it wasn’t my intention to hurt Mr. A at all, I want you to know that I had no intention of bringing up the story.” /mk3244@osen.co.kr
