Actress Ji So-yeon has apologized after she posted a Japan travel vlog just before March 1st Independence Movement Day, which sparked controversy.
On March 2, Ji So-yeon wrote on her social networking service (SNS), “I am taking very seriously the many opinions you have shared regarding the Japan travel video that was uploaded in late February.” She continued, “The video was content documenting a trip I took on February 11, but it was my mistake that I failed to think deeply enough about the significance of the timing of its posting. I am truly sorry that I did not look at it with greater care.”
She went on, “Although it was a video recording my personal daily life, I believe it is entirely my responsibility that, regardless of my intentions, the timing of the upload caused discomfort and disappointment. I am once again very sorry.”
She added, “I am also distressed that criticism is now being directed at Mi-ra, who traveled with me. The upload schedule and the decision to make the video public were entirely mine, and Mi-ra, who accompanied me, was not aware of any of these aspects.” She continued, “I would like to offer a deep apology to Mi-ra as well, and I sincerely hope she will not be hurt by this.”
Finally, Ji So-yeon said, “Through this incident, I have come to realize that I must act with greater caution and a stronger sense of responsibility. From now on, in every step of planning and releasing content, I will pay closer attention to the social context and timing. I will humbly accept the criticism you have given me.”
On February 28, a video was posted on Ji So-yeon’s YouTube channel showing her traveling to Takamatsu, Japan with Yang Mi-ra. Following the controversy, the video has since been made private. [Reporter Ji Seunghoon, Star Today]
