Actors Lee Min-jung and Min Do-hee clarified and apologized regarding the controversy surrounding public nuisance. Lee Min-jung addressed the controversy over her luxury bag photo in front of the Jesus statue, while Min Do-hee deeply apologized for putting her feet on an airport chair while wearing shoes.
First up is Lee Min-jung. She visited Venice with her husband, Lee Byung-hun, who is starring in the film 'No Other Choice,' which has been selected for the competition section of the Venice International Film Festival.
Upon arriving in Venice, Lee Min-jung met up with her close friend Son Ye-jin and spent a joyful time together. The two took turns photographing each other, enjoying a leisurely time together, but a photo posted by Lee Min-jung on social media became problematic.
In the photo, Lee Min-jung posed with a luxury bag in front of the cross Jesus statue, with the altar of the cathedral as the backdrop. This prompted domestic and international netizens to express their discomfort, commenting things like, "Taking a photo with a luxury bag in a sacred space" and "that's rude."
In response, Lee Min-jung apologized, saying, "This place is not a cathedral, but a venue and restaurant that utilizes walls preserved from a cathedral from hundreds of years ago. I am a Christian, though not a Catholic, and I apologize if taking a photo at the altar caused any discomfort. I will be more careful in the future," thus resolving the controversy as an incident.
Following Lee Min-jung, Min Do-hee was caught up in controversy due to an airport photo. On the 2nd, she posted a photo on her social media account of her leaving for a trip to Japan with her mother, which led to a heated debate among netizens.
In the photo, Min Do-hee held a takeout coffee in her hand and sat in a chair set up in the airport terminal, striking various poses while looking at the camera. The problematic part was that she put her feet on the chair while wearing shoes. Some criticized her for her careless behavior, noting that she is a public figure with a notable influence.
In response, Min Do-hee said, "I am sorry for causing discomfort to many people due to my careless behavior. It was not appropriate for me to put my feet on a chair while wearing shoes in a public place, and I should have been more careful as a public figure. I humbly accept your criticisms and deeply reflect on my actions. In the future, I will pay more attention to even minor behaviors and strive to repay with a trustworthy image. I sincerely apologize." Min Do-hee acknowledged her negligence by deleting the photo.
