Former MBC announcer Seo Hyun-jin quickly apologized for the controversy over the selfie taken on the way to the funeral.
On the 6th, Seo Hyun-jin posted a post on his Instagram on the 6th, saying, “My feed was published yesterday, which caused many inconveniences to many people from the morning.”
He continued, “I will be reborn as a mature person who will be more cautious about words and actions in the future and deeply sympathize with the pain of others,” he said. “I once again apologize to those who were uncomfortable with me and to all the bereaved.” He then wrote, “I wish the Father Remigio’s father, who always thanked me, will live.”
Earlier, Seo Hyun-jin raised controversy with the post he posted on Instagram on the 5th. He said, “It’s nice to have tears,” he said, “I couldn’t even take a picture of the cherry blossoms in front of my nose this spring, but I went out for a while in the morning to avoid the stalking of the gum shell.” I also told about it.
He continued, “But I will go to a place that is not fun,” he wrote, and “I am going to the funeral.” He added, “But I didn’t even start yet because I liked my hair so much, and I released a picture after adding that selfie #heuk mask #selfie #short cut #short style”. The released photo shows Seo Hyun-jin sitting in a car and taking a selfie.
However, after Seo Hyun-jin uploaded the post, netizens pointed out that they were not only proud of their short-haired style while going to the funeral hall, but were frivolous to describe the funeral home as “not a pleasant place.” In response, Seo Hyun-jin deleted the post, but some netizens pointed out that there was no apology. Afterwards, Seo Hyun-jin quickly posted an apology, admitted to his fault, and apologized.
The following is the full text of Seo Hyun-jin’s Instagram posts.
Hello, this is Hyunjin Seo.
Yesterday, my feed was published and it has been uncomfortable to many people since the morning. I am sorry and embarrassed for acting rashly.
In the future, we will be reborn as a mature person who will be more cautious in words and actions and deeply sympathize with others’ pain.
Once again, I apologize to those who were uncomfortable with me and to all the bereaved.
I hope that Father Remigio’s father, who has always been grateful to me, will live forever.
