On January 28th, netizen A posted on X (formerly Twitter) exposed MIRAE’s Jang Yun-bin selling gifts he received from fans on Bunjang, a secondhand market. They released proof photos and a conversation with Jang Yun-bin.
Last month, Jang Yun-bin put a brand jacket for sale on Bunjang for 150,000 won. In the description of the product, he wrote, “I bought it by myself in Japan with 270,000-280,000 won this autumn. After washing it once, the printing faded a little so I don’t wear it anymore. I’m selling it at a cheaper price” .
Discovering the article, A confirmed the name of Jang Yun-bin, to whom they gave the gift, in the seller’s information. As a result, A talked directly to the seller because they wanted to check again if the seller was Jang Yun-bin.
In response, Jang Yun-bin admitted his fault, saying “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight.”
A then said, “You know that I like you a lot. I also want to understand this situation from my perspective and move on” . Jang Yun-bin explained, “I also had many concerns because it was the end of the year. During times like that, I often buy things I want to solve my worries. However, I couldn’t ask my parents for money, that’s why I couldn’t think straight and acted recklessly. I’m really sorry” .
In response to the post, netizens commented, “I’m shocked that it was not because he couldn’t cover living expenses, but because he wanted to enjoy shopping” , “I feel so bad for the fan who gave him the gift” , “He’s the worst. If you do that, don’t get caught” , etc.
However, some people also criticized A, saying “I understand that you are upset as a fan, but you already received an apology from him. Why are you still posting this?” .
