Previously, there were rumors that stated that Choi Ye Na, one of the former girl groups IZ * ONE had been sponsored by the CEO of CJ Group.
However, Choi Ye Na's agency YueHua Entertainment has released an official statement in response to the false information and will take strict action against it.
Not stopping at the agency, today, December 6, 2021, Choi Ye Na herself opened up about the rumors that dragged her name, through her agency's official website.
“Hello, this is Choi Ye Na. I hesitate to discuss this matter with my fans. But finally I mustered up the courage to write because I couldn't see my name being involved with such a shocking rumor.
I was eating at home when I first noticed that my name was mentioned as the person implicated in a malicious rumor in an article.
I was so confused to see my name spread quickly as if it was true when I hadn't even met him (CJ Group CEO) and had no involvement whatsoever.
I don't understand why I had to go through such an unreasonable thing while I was just working hard, chasing my dream… And I'm still frustrated and annoyed that it seems a lot of people believe the rumours.
It hurts me to think how shocked my fans will be.
I'm not one of those rumours. I'm not even the least bit related to him.
Do not worry.
It's sad and shocking but I'm trying to focus on my work again for my fans. I promise to present myself again as positive, tough, and tough as I used to be, if not better.
Winter has arrived. I hope no one suffers from this again. You understand, right? Please put your health first!”, wrote Choi Ye Na. (www.kpopchart.net)
