Lee Min-jung, who faced criticism for taking a photo in front of a Jesus statue, has now released a photo taken against a concrete wall to preemptively block any controversy.
On the 8th, Lee Min-jung posted on SNS, "The weather is getting a bit cooler in the morning and evening. Autumn will come soon. A calm atmosphere with a trench coat," along with a photo.
The photo features Lee Min-jung wearing a trench coat for autumn, posing with a luxury bag. Notably, her stance in front of a plain concrete wall draws attention. It seems to be a conscious effort to avoid the previous controversy where she posted a photo that appeared to promote a luxury bag in front of a Jesus statue.
Recently, Lee Min-jung traveled to Venice with her husband Lee Byung-hun, who is the lead actor in the film 'There’s Nothing We Can Do,' invited to compete at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.
In the meantime, Lee Min-jung faced controversy after releasing a photo where she posed with a luxury bag in front of the altar of a church, with the Jesus cross in the background. Netizens pointed out that it was disrespectful to take a photo that seemed to promote a luxury bag in a sacred place, and Lee Min-jung personally clarified, "It was not a church but a restaurant," and apologized, saying, "I am a Christian, though not a Catholic, and I apologize if taking a photo on the altar made anyone uncomfortable."
