Yoon Nam-ki‘s father = media company president? ... Agency apologizes, “slightly different from the truth” [Official]
On the afternoon of the 4th, Yoon Nam-ki and Lee Da-eun‘s agency FU stated on SNS, “There were some parts of Lee Da-eun’s comments in the YouTube channel ’NotHatefulUnnie‘ content released on October 31st that were not true, so we would like to offer our sincere apologies to everyone who felt uncomfortable, as well as the media outlets and related parties.”
The two opened up about the rumors about them while talking to Lee Ji-hye. Lee Da-eun revealed instead of Yoon Nam-ki that he used to live at Tower Palace and that his father-in-law used to be the president of Hankook Ilbo.
However, regarding the story, the agency explained, “After checking, we confirmed that he was not the president of the media company, but rather the advertising director and served as the president of Sports Korea,” and explained that it was a mistake and not intentional.
●Here is the full statement from Yoon Nam-ki and Lee Da-eun‘s agencies
Hello. This is FU.
First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the fans who truly cherish and love Yoon Nam-gi and Lee Da-eun, who are members of FU.
I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable, as well as the media outlets and related parties, due to some parts of Lee Da-eun’s remarks in the YouTube channel ’Not Hateful Sister‘ content released on October 31st that were somewhat different from the truth.
Through the content, Lee Da-eun revealed that Yoon Nam-gi‘s father is“the son of the president of a certain media outlet”, and after checking, it was confirmed that he was not the president of the media outlet, but the advertising director and the president of Sports Korea.
It was not my intention to spread groundless false information or mention false information, but it was a kind of incident that caused a big misunderstanding due to the fact that I could not talk in detail due to the broadcast time, and that only some of the content was mentioned during the filming of the content. While thinking about it,
since many press releases and related articles have already been distributed based on Da Eun Lee’s comments, I decided that it was only right to announce the correct facts.
Da Eun Lee also reflected on the fact that her comments were not based on certain facts,
and the harm she caused to the people involved,
and stated her position that she will do her best to avoid disappointing you in the future with even more prudent and mature words and actions.
If there was anyone who was harmed by this incident, we once again apologize.
