Singer Seo In-young addressed the controversy surrounding her alleged “first-class abuse of power.”
On the 9th, the YouTube channel ‘SBS Plus’ released a preview for SBS’s new variety show “Whatever You Want, I’ll Do It – Secretary Team,” featuring Seo In-young.
In the video, recalling past allegations of abuse of power, Seo said, “They say I abused my power. They claim I refused to fly unless it was first class.”
Seo added, “I admit that I behaved badly in the past. But isn’t this a process of changing for the better?”
Previously, on March 26, Seo In-young addressed various controversies about herself by reading malicious comments directed at her through her YouTube channel ‘Gae-gwa-cheon-seon Seo In-young.’
Regarding the “abuse of power” controversy that erupted in 2017, Seo stated, “It was wrong to insult me like that. That part was indeed wrong.” However, she clarified, “The contents listed as abuse of power are not true. I am not such a disgusting person.” At the time, Seo faced backlash after a video surfaced showing her using abusive language toward staff during filming of JTBC’s “With You Season 2” in Dubai. Allegations spread regarding her attitude on set, demands to change schedules, and requests for hotel and flight upgrades, ultimately leading her to suspend activities.
Seo said, “I hope people won’t be made sad based on false information.” She continued, “Back then, my company told me to stay quiet, so I couldn’t respond. But if it were today, I would fight until the end.” She further added, “I took medication for panic disorder and depression and rested for several years. I didn’t realize I would fall apart like that. It was the biggest wound in my life, a time when I didn’t even want to live. In conclusion, I realized it was my fault. Both choices and responsibilities belong to me. I want to mature and live happily.”
