Lee Jinho claimed that the background of Na Eun's absence was mostly Chorong's bullying controversy. But the leader is also not to blame in this case.
On February 15, a video entitled "The reason why Son Na Eun is unfairly blasphemed" was uploaded on Lee Jinho's Youtube channel. The former reporter who has now turned into a YouTuber told the story behind Na Eun's absence from Apink's current promotional activities.
Regarding the release of Apink's new album "HORN" on February 14, which marks the 11th anniversary of their debut, Lee Jinho asked, "Why are they starting their activities now after a year of delay and not being on the 10th anniversary of their debut?"
Meanwhile, Lee Jinho claimed that his background was mostly Chorong's bullying controversy. Lee Jinho said, "A, who raised suspicions of school violence, and Park Chorong have been fighting fiercely with each other until January. Apink is scheduled to release a special album to mark their 10th anniversary last year. However, due to ongoing legal battles, until earlier this year, they couldn't schedule a comeback.
One of the people who suffered the most in the process was Na Eun, he said. Son Na Eun is planning her schedule with Apink while she is also in the process of deciding on her job. Since Apink's plan didn't happen, she has to continue her acting work.
Lee Jinho added, "There are many jobs that have sent their offers to Son Na Eun. However, Son Na Eun gave more weight to Apink's comeback because she had promised her members to come back as a group."
In the process, Na Eun had to turn down several jobs that wanted to recruit her. However, their comeback schedule continues to be postponed due to the Chorong incident. He explained, "After much deliberation, he decided to accept a new work, which happened to coincide with Apink's activities as a group."
Lee Jinho said, "Even YG, who recruited Son Na Eun, can't wait for Apink's comeback schedule. From Son Na Eun's point of view, it will be a dilemma. In fact, since Son Na Eun chose to leave for YG in April last year, The agency had advised her to leave Apink. However, I heard that Son Na Eun had refused, saying, 'How can I leave the group that raised me?'
As a result, if Son Na Eun had made a clear decision at that time, she would not have been criticized like this. It's a matter of thinking about whether Son Na Eun is the one who should be criticized unilaterally for this incident.
Even so, Chorong is also not the party to blame for Na Eun's absence. The reason is, the Apink leader really made sure he was free from accusations before returning to resume activities. It should be noted that the party accusing him has admitted that the accusation of bullying is not true. (wk/goddess)
