The person who exposed the '8 million won double-dealing silence money' has stated that they met the involved party.
Recently, A, the author who posted on an online community claiming "My ex-boyfriend's agency sent 8 million won," added another post on the 30th.
A stated, "I am writing this out of frustration after seeing articles that unrelated celebrities are being pointed out because of my previous post," and added, "I apologize to everyone who is experiencing discomfort due to unnecessary suspicion regarding something that should be celebrated. These individuals are unrelated to this incident."
They continued, "I never wrote 'ㅇㅈㅇ', but the post I put on Blind spread to other communities and was distorted, leading to questions like 'Who is ㅇㅈㅇ?'. I have never referred to anyone as ㅇㅈㅇ, nor have I ever said the other party is an actor," emphasizing their point.
A also mentioned, "I had no intention of pointing out a specific individual, and I did not wish for the current situation of speculation. It pains me deeply to feel like I am being subjected to a witch hunt due to my personal struggles."
They added, "In any case, all the individuals mentioned are unrelated, so I hope there will be no further misunderstandings or speculations. I deleted the original post the day before yesterday and met with the involved parties yesterday to resolve everything," expressing their desire to move on from this memory and recover after receiving a sincere apology.
Recently, A's exposé gained attention. A explained, "My ex-boyfriend's agency sent 8 million won, saying that they would be appearing on a variety show within six months to reveal the process of preparing for marriage with a new girlfriend, but they contacted me saying the dates might not align and sent the 8 million won as a preemptive consolation payment."
After this post was made public, many posts speculating about the identity of the ex-boyfriend appeared on social media. In the midst of this, names of male celebrities who recently announced their marriages were mentioned.
In response, Lee Jang-woo and On Joo-wan stated, "It's not me. Please stop calling. I'm working," and "It's completely unfounded," clarifying their positions.
