Seo Yu-ri directly conveyed her position regarding her appearance on the "Excel broadcast."
On the 28th, Seo Yu-ri opened up about the controversy surrounding her appearance on the Excel broadcast.
Earlier, on the 27th, Seo Yu-ri appeared on the so-called "Excel broadcast." The Excel broadcast features multiple participants appearing simultaneously, and when viewers sponsor a star balloon, a designated participant steps forward to dance to the music and energize the atmosphere.
The characteristic of the Excel broadcast is that the amounts of star balloon sponsorship received by participants are organized in a table, resembling an Excel program document, which is how it got its name.
Seo Yu-ri appeared on the weekend program of the former AfreecaTV BJ Do-a and battled with other BJs in a dance competition. Seo Yu-ri showed tears when a fan sent a large star balloon. However, there were reactions pointing out that Seo Yu-ri's appearance on the Excel broadcast was noteworthy.
In response, Seo Yu-ri said, "I don't think it's something to be proud of to engage in internet broadcasting, the so-called Excel. I know. Reality is reality," and added, "But doesn't that mean there shouldn't be a reason to mock or ridicule someone casually?"
"I am swallowing my unfair feelings and doing my utmost sincerely. I am quietly carrying my share without making excuses," she noted.
"Maybe I should have realized that the world easily labels and throws stones. But I still want to believe that there are people who look at those who endure without giving up until the end with warm eyes," Seo Yu-ri stated.
"I hope you will consider how a lightly thrown word can ruin someone's day or heart. I am still enduring to do my share today. Please watch over me with a little warmth," she added.
Meanwhile, Seo Yu-ri legally became a couple with Choi Byeong-gil, having registered their marriage in 2019, but they divorced in March last year.
He noted, "Recently, I have been steadily continuing various activities such as game recordings and appearances on terrestrial programs. However, due to liabilities that arose during the process of settling past relationships, the situation has not been fully resolved yet," and added, "The settlement amount with X was supposed to be paid by the end of December last year, but due to X filing for bankruptcy, I have not received a penny so far, which has worsened my difficulties."
In particular, Seo Yu-ri expressed, "I do not want to undergo bankruptcy or rehabilitation procedures. Although it is not a debt I created myself, I feel I am partly responsible, so I am trying my best to fulfill my responsibilities to the end," and added, "Due to speculative articles and irresponsible reporting that are not based on facts, not only I but also those around me are hurting. I sincerely ask that you refrain from expanding or sensationalizing unverified information."
