Furthermore, A clarified that the male celebrities whose names were mentioned are not related to the incident.
On the 30th, A posted a follow-up message in an online community where the initial expose was shared, titled "Postscript to the 8 Million Won Incident with My Ex-Boyfriend."
In this message, A expressed, "After seeing articles pointing fingers at innocent celebrities due to my previous post, I felt compelled to write this. I apologize to everyone who has been inconvenienced by unwarranted suspicion surrounding what should have been a joyous occasion. These individuals are not related to the case at hand."
A specifically mentioned never having disclosed the initials or stating the profession as 'actor', emphasizing, "I had no intention of singling out anyone, nor did I wish for the current situation of rampant speculation. It pains me to see my personal dilemma turn into a witch hunt. I merely sought advice for my predicament, but it seems to have spiraled into an invasion of privacy, leaving me quite disheartened. Please, let there be no further misunderstandings or conjectures about those mentioned."
Concluding, A shared, "I met with the involved parties yesterday and have put everything to rest. I wish to move on from this memory and, having received a sincere apology, I hope to heal. This message will be my last regarding this matter."
Previously, A disclosed receiving 8 million won from the agency of a celebrity ex-boyfriend, explaining, "They contacted me saying they would send 8 million won as a consolation payment because my ex-boyfriend would appear on a variety show within six months, revealing his new girlfriend and their wedding preparations, and the timing might not align well." Despite suspicions of infidelity or a rebound relationship, A pondered whether to return the hush money sent by the agency.
Following A's expose, rampant speculation ensued regarding the identity of A's celebrity ex-boyfriend. Names of actors On Ju-wan and Lee Jang-woo, who are both preparing for marriage, were mentioned, but they have since clarified their non-involvement in the matter.
