Shocking news came from Choi Yena, a former member of IZONE whose name was recently dragged into a sponsorship rumor with the chairman of a subsidiary of CJ Group. The rumors were immediately denied personally by Choi Yena by releasing an official statement.
Previously, SBS News reported that conglomerate Lee Jae Hwan was accused of sponsoring a former female idol, Ms. A. Netizens also suspect Yena as Ms. A.
However, on December 1, 2021, Yuehua Entertainment denied the accusations against their artist. Then today, Monday (6/12/2021), Yena wrote a letter on the official Yuehua Entertainment website. The following is the contents of the letter, quoted from Koreaboo.
Hello. This is Choi Yena.
I really doubt if I should take this issue to fans like this but since my name has been tied into such a shocking issue I figured I couldn't sit back and just watch any longer and harden my heart to write a few lines
The first time I saw an article where I was mentioned in this malicious rumor, which is completely untrue, was while I was eating at home.
I didn't know the person at all and the fact that my name was mentioned in something that had nothing to do with me had spread quickly as if it was true, leaving me very shocked and annoyed when I saw the situation unfolding.
I just ran towards my dream and worked hard so I don't know why I had to go through such an amazing thing and even now, I'm very angry and sad because so many people believe in it.
I feel sorry for the fans who were just as shocked as he was by the rumors. My heart hurts to think that my fans might be as shocked as I am. I'm not the one in the rumours. This has nothing to do with me. Do not worry.
I'm very sad to have gone through this and I'm also very mentally shaken but I will clean up and work hard once again, thinking of you guys.
I will show a better side of myself, as a positive and strong Choi Yena who can receive a lot of love.
Winter is now officially here. I hope everyone won't have a hard time going through this problem again. Everyone knows this right? Always take care of your health first!. /celebrities.id
