Jang Hye-ri is causing a stir by revealing a 'sponsor proposal.' Not only Hye-ri, but she has also expressed displeasure, stating that many female celebrities have received sponsor proposals in the past.
On the 3rd, Jang Hye-ri appeared in a video titled 'You said you went downhill after drinking?' of the 'NonNonNon' content released through the YouTube channel 'Channel Gojeonghae.' She revealed her experiences related to drinking alongside Shin Jeong-hwan, a former member of Country KkoKko, former baseball player Kang Byeong-kyu, and exorcist Lim Deok-young.
On that day, Jang Hye-ri shared her experiences related to drinking, saying, 'The hardest thing as a couple until now is when someone says, 'Let's talk over a drink,' implying that 'You need to build these connections in order to grow.' They even include golf as a basic requirement. I don't drink much and don't enjoy those occasions, which led me to think, 'Do I have to go if I want to do this more, or should I just do it on my own?'
Jang Hye-ri also caused a stir by revealing an anecdote from her rookie days when she received a sponsor proposal. Jang Hye-ri said, 'When I was a rookie, there was a very famous representative, and male rookies were also invited to sing and all. But he said, 'I will help you grow. In return, be my girlfriend.' I was taken aback and said, 'I don't think that's it,' but he mentioned other female celebrities he had helped grow through similar relationships, saying there were 'successful models.'
Not only Jang Hye-ri, but in the past, several female celebrities have also expressed their displeasure and anger regarding 'sponsor proposals.' Earlier, in 2020, former Jewelry member Jo Min-a posted on her social media, 'Hey, instead of sending stuff like this through DM (direct message), how about studying one more line? You should send these to people you know. Do you think a woman who has lived her life like a headbutt will sell herself for that? I feel uncomfortable and uneasy even with a penny that isn't my effort.'
Along with this, the message that Jo Min-a revealed contained the phrase, 'If you have thoughts about a sponsor, please reply.' Jo Min-a warned, 'There's no reason for me to reply, so I didn't. But if you send me something like this one more time, know that you'll be wearing handcuffs and eating bean rice.'
In the past, actress Jang Mi-in-ae and Gu Ji-sung also expressed their anger about receiving 'sponsor proposal' messages through social media. The message that Jang Mi-in-ae revealed at that time contained the text, 'Hello. We are agents connecting wealthy individuals with sponsors. I apologize for suddenly sending you a message, but one of our clients is interested in you, so I'm reaching out. Please think it over and let me know, and I will provide the details.'
Jang Mi-in-ae responded with, 'Get lost, you XX,' expressing her displeasure. She also mentioned having received sponsor proposal messages before, stating, 'I can't believe I'm receiving such crap in my acting life more than once. Do you want to get hit?'
