News SM apologizes regarding Yunho violating social distancing regulations (1 Viewer)

[Abeamus]

On March 9, it was reported that the TVXQ member was being investigated by the police for staying at a restaurant in Gangnam until approximately 12 a.m. KST on an evening in late February. According to current social distancing regulations in Seoul, restaurant operation is only allowed until 10 p.m. KST, and customers are required to leave before then.

This is SM Entertainment.

We sincerely apologize for causing concern in this situation where many people are having a difficult time due to COVID-19.

Yunho recently met up with three acquaintances at a restaurant in Gangnam, and he was investigated for staying past the business operating hours restricted by regulation.

Yunho is deeply reproaching and reflecting on himself for causing disappointment to many people due to a moment of carelessness.

We are also apologetic for not thoroughly managing and guiding our artist to follow social distancing guidelines in his personal time as well.

In order for the hard work of medical workers, quarantine staff, volunteers, and everyone making efforts to overcome COVID-19 to not go to waste, we will strive to improve our education and guidance of social distancing regulations.

We once again apologize for causing concern.

Maybe the restaurant didnt want to cause he is famous

But in my country the restaurant would be investigated not customers cause its their job to close in time.

I suppose he's being investigated because he's a celebrity

I see what you are saying. However even with him being famous, if the restaurant has a rule that everybody is out before 10 pm, then they should enforce that rule regardless of whether he's a celebrity or not. They knew he was still there, they could have done either one of 2 things. They could have fined him or kicked him out of the restaurant. I don't understand why police is involved al of a sudden though

I see but still, they have rules and they should have enforced them or just fine the guy for violating them. I don't see the need for the police to be involved unless he refuses to leave the premisis.

I misread this as "Yunoh" and I was like "not again Jaehyun"

 

[HOTDOGWOOWOO]

It's not that serious

 

[RandAlThor]

Dam governments are out of control.

 

[yeji]

1. [+10,263, -841] He has yet to be in one scandal for nearly 20 years now...let's stop with the witch hunt. It's not a bar. It's a restaurant. What's with the provocative titleㅋ
2. [+5,715, -133] This is why image is really important ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. As soon as I saw the article, I knew there was something wrong with it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+2,924, -92] It wasn't open and he went to a restaurant run by his friends' parents.
4. [+2,410, -114] It's not like he got drunk. Honestly, I don't care about this because his image is fairly positive. Plus, there's a lot of corrupt high-ranking politicians that are still out and about even after selling out our country and living dirty.
5. [+752, -14] Reason why he's getting positive comments: 1. Everyone knows well that Yunho is the same person he shows on the outside, even his acquaintances and juniors say the same. 2. It was just a restaurant where he gathered with 3 friends after work, so it was less than 5. It was a private gathering. 3. This article is misleading and written maliciously to make it look like he did something criminal. Everyone is tired of the corona. Still, it was a restaurant not bar. Anyway, let's be careful. fighting!
6. [+578, -16] Let's not throw stones. It's not like he went to a host bar with prostitutes ㅋ
7. [+312, -7] It's not a bar, it’s a restaurant
8. [+121, -2] F*** I guess no one can go out to eat anymore, it's not like he's doing drugs ㅋㅋ

Compared to how western celebrities have acted throughout lockdown, this really isn't that big a deal. The place should've shut at 10pm though in accordance with Korea's laws.
