Lee Min Jung, Hyomin, Kim Hee-jung, Son Yeon Jae and Lee Joo Yeon admitted that they had a birthday party amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Actor Lee Min Jung's agency MS Team said in an official press release on May 20, "First of all, we apologize for causing concern during the time when many people are practicing 'social distancing' due to COVID-19. Lee Min Jung visited the brunch cafe in Cheongdam-dong, the venue for the meeting, delivered her gift, greeted friends, and immediately left the venue after taking pictures at the event," they said. "It was a false report that she spent time at the party at Itaewon."
Lee Min Jung's agency explained, "Everyone is practicing social distancing, and actress Lee Min Jung is also filming a drama, and since she is the mother of a child, she has refrained from attending crowded places or events," adding, "She stopped by to deliver her gift because it was an invitation from a close acquaintance. Once again, she apologizes for this incident and will be more careful in the future."
Hyomin, Kim Hee Jung and Son Yeon Jae also expressed their positions. What they all pointed out was that it was not a party in Itaewon, but a meeting in Cheongdam-dong.
"First of all, we apologize for the careless behavior of our artists Hyomin and Kim Hee Jung," their agency said in an official document, announcing that Hyomin and Kim Hee Jung attended the birthday party of their acquaintances at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong on May 9. "It's too late, but for whatever reason, both of them are aware of the careless behavior and are reflecting on it."
Former national rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon Jae is in a similar position. Son Yeon Jae's side said on the same day, "It is true that Son attended a birthday party of an acquaintance on May 9, but contrary to what is rumored, the venue was not at Itaewon, but a cafe in Cheongdam-dong," adding, "She thought it was a cafe, but when there were too many people, Son stayed at the place for about 30 minutes before leaving."
Son Yeon Jae also explained, "I was wearing a mask all the time, except when I was asked to take a photo."
"Lee Joo Yeon was invited to attend an acquaintance's birthday party at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong on May 9," Lee Joo Yeon's agency Mystic Story said as well. "It is not a cafe in Itaewon, as reported earlier." They added, "We and the artist will pay close attention to prevent this from happening in the future."
