Hong Jin Kyung Faces Backlash Over Controversial Photos
TV personality Hong Jin Kyung is under fire after posting photos online during the sensitive election season in Korea. The backlash was swift, prompting her to delete the photos and issue a handwritten apology.
Hong’s controversial post featured her wearing a red top, which many deemed inappropriate at this politically charged time.
Soon after the uproar, she issued an apology, explaining her oversight:
"I cannot believe that I have become one of them by doing something like this during such a sensitive time… I think I lost my sense of tension while away from Korea for a long time. This was absolutely my fault."
Support for Hong has emerged amid the criticism, with some netizens questioning the need for her apology:
- “An apology for this? Why does she have to apologize?”
- “Don’t apologize… you did nothing wrong.”
As the situation develops, Hong’s case highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities face in Korea, especially during election periods.
