Hwang Jung-eum apologized for misunderstanding Miss Korea contestant Jo Ha-eun as her husband Lee Young-don’s affair. On the afternoon of March 4th, Hwang Jung-eum posted on her personal account, “Hello. There was a misunderstanding during the process of me rearranging my personal life matters. I sincerely apologize for causing damage to the party and those around her by posting a post for the general public. I would like to correct the content. I have also directly contacted the affected party to deliver an apology.
I apologize for causing fatigue to the public by making a wrong judgment in a confused emotional state, even though public and personal affairs should be clearly distinguished in the space that many people see. From now on I will pay more attention.”
Previously, Hwang Jung-eum posted a photo of former Miss Korea Seoul contestant Jo Ha-eun, accusing her of being the mistress of Lee Young-don, Hwang’s husband, who she is going through divorce proceedings with. Jo Ha-eun responded harshly that she did not know Lee Young-don, the Lee Young-don she mentioned on her Instagram was just a friend’s nickname, and asked Hwang to apologize or she would sue for defamation.
