Actress Lee Min-jung issued a public apology via live broadcast.
On the 7th, a video titled "[Emergency Broadcast] Lee Min-jung's Public Apology Live" was uploaded to the 'Lee Min-jung MJ' channel.
Previously, Lee Min-jung made a bombshell statement regarding her goal for the year when she started her YouTube channel, saying, "If I exceed 500,000, should I bring in director Park Chan-wook? Lee Byung-hun and director Park Chan-wook?" As a result, until Lee Min-jung's YouTube subscriber count exceeded 500,000, Lee Byung-hun remained thoroughly sealed with his face mosaicked whenever he grants appearances.
During the live broadcast, a fan asked Lee Min-jung, "Actor Lee Byung-hun came to the fan club's birthday party not long ago and mentioned that he worries he'll have to hide his face until the follower count exceeds 500,000 due to his promotional obligations for 'There's Nothing I Can Do.'"
Upon hearing this, Lee Min-jung lamented, "We are all worried. I don't know the exact number, but it seems like it's 340,000 or 350,000. However, the release is in two months, and the broadcast has to air on September 16. The promotional video. Because of this, I have nightmares, waking up from dreams where I see blurs, thinking, 'Agh!' I wake up thinking, 'What should I do about this damned situation?'"
She continued, "I need to promote the movie, but it's embarrassing and I feel sorry for the film team and the promotion team since my brother's face will be blurred. I also feel very sorry for my brother's fans and our subscribers. As I'm under so much stress, I wondered what to do, but my husband said, 'It's unreasonable to contradict what you said. You can't just blurt out the need to promote suddenly after hiding his face. We're going to carry on as we are.'"
She added, "On my brother's birthday, Shin Dong-yeob came and told me, 'Don't worry so much. Because that's the charm of YouTube. You must keep your word.' So if the count doesn't reach 500,000, Lee Byung-hun's face will be blurred..." conveying the reactions around her.
In particular, while speaking, Lee Min-jung showed emotional distress and earnestly requested, "I was wrong... I was wrong, yes. Please spread the word widely and subscribe. Then I won't have to be in such an embarrassing and sorry situation."
She sighed deeply, acknowledging, "I think I caught a cold because of it," and asked, "I want to hear everyone's opinions." However, the comments were mixed, and Lee Min-jung noted, "I'm so sorry. They told me to just blur my body, but Lee Byung-hun rejected that. Wearing a frontman mask? How frustrating would that be? This situation makes me feel very sorry for my husband as well." Additionally, after seeing a comment that said, "If we do the Golden Challenge, we will achieve 500,000," Lee Min-jung responded humorously, "That's for a million."
Lee Min-jung stated, "But my husband is not forcing it. Everything has to be natural. He told me not to pressure or beg people, but still, even if it's not pressure, I'm doing this to promote the movie well, so please subscribe a lot. If I reach 500,000 by mid-September, I think I will feel less apologetic to the film team," and lowered her head, saying, "I will reflect on this."
