The agency of actor Lee Soo-hyuk has taken a stand against rumors.
The agency, People Entertainment, announced on its official SNS on the 5th, "People Entertainment respects the health and human rights of the actor more than anyone and is carefully monitoring the actor's condition. We are working to protect the actor together with fans who love actor Lee Soo-hyuk, and we will continue to do our best without change."
Continuing, "If you find any content regarding actor Lee Soo-hyuk that is different from the truth, defamatory, or baseless negative rumors, we would appreciate it if you could report them through the official email account below," adding, "Your valuable reports will be carefully confirmed for the safety of the actor and used for necessary measures."
On the 30th of last month, the 'Lee Soo-hyuk 1st Fanmeeting in Hangzhou' held in Hangzhou, China, attracted great interest, selling out all seats within 2 minutes of ticket sales opening. However, reports from Taiwan EBC indicated that the organizers sold excessively, necessitating Lee Soo-hyuk to sign for nearly 12 hours for thousands of fans.
Due to the air conditioning failure at the event venue, Lee Soo-hyuk was said to have completed his schedule drenched in sweat, and eyewitness accounts emerged stating he staggered out with a pale face. In fact, photos of Lee Soo-hyuk appearing faint circulated on social media, escalating the controversy.
In response, the agency stated, "Based on site standards, there were 15 minutes of rehearsal, a main performance for 4 hours and 30 minutes, and 2 hours for benefits (photo taking and high-touch)," adding, "The actor expressed his wish to do his best after not seeing fans for a long time, and that sincerity led to spending more time together than originally planned."
Next is the full statement from Lee Soo-hyuk's side.
