Comedian Lee Kyung-sil, who publicly revealed an anecdote about being told to quiet down on the KTX and apologized, expressed discomfort at news reports framing it as a "public nuisance" controversy.
Earlier, Lee Kyung-sil posted on her social media on the 9th that "I went on a meaningful 2 Days & 1 Night trip to Busan with college friends after a very long time," sharing her travel review.
She said, "Everyone was busy, so we had a hard time coordinating schedules from a month ago," and "While talking excitedly with friends on the Train to Busan KTX, we were told to 'be quiet,'" she said.
She added, "I'm sorry. I lost my composure for a moment on the trip with my friends," and "Maybe I don't hear well these days," apologizing to any passengers who may have been inconvenienced. Afterwards, Lee Kyung-sil posted photos and episodes from the Busan trip with friends and ended the post with the hashtags #꿈같은친구들과의1박2일부산여행 #감사합니다.
But as the anecdote spread into a "public nuisance" controversy and related reports continued, Lee Kyung-sil did not hide her discomfort.
Through a separate post from the original, she lamented, "I returned from the trip, recorded it, and talked about a small episode that briefly brushed my daily life and reflected on it, but it was blown up like some big incident." She added, "They treat me like a crazy person. They ruined the good mood I had after the trip," and said bitterly, "If I take this post down, won't they say 'she removed the post because of the controversy'? Reporters these days are really lazy."
Lee Kyung-sil acknowledged her behavior and apologized from the start, but she honestly expressed regret and discomfort over the process in which the controversy was excessively amplified afterward.
