Irene, a member of the group Red Velvet, who was suspicious of the 15-year editor and stylist A's celebrity exposure, acknowledged and apologized.



On the afternoon of the 22nd, Irene posted an apology through her SNS, saying, "I am sincerely sorry for hurting my heart to the stylist with my foolish attitude and careless words and actions."



“There was a lot of help from many people who worked hard together until I was here, but I regret and reflect on that I hurt a lot with my immature behavior.” I felt the importance of the staff once again. In the future, I will think and act more carefully to prevent this from happening."



SM Entertainment, her agency, also said in an official position, "Irene met with the stylist in person this afternoon, and sincerely apologized for hurting her deeply with her careless attitude and emotional words and actions. I am sorry,” he said.



On the 21st, stylist and editor Mr. A posted a long article on his SNS, revealing that he was hit by a celebrity.

He said, "Today I had the experience of being thoroughly stepped on and being beaten by a person in the position of'Eul'." I did it, but it wasn't. Twenty minutes like hell in an unfamiliar room. I didn't say hello completely, and I put my phone in my hand and pointed out my words while sitting in a chair," he explained.



Mr. A did not directly reveal who the celebrity was, but added hashtags'psycho' and'monster' at the end of the post to make Red Velvet members suspicious.

This is because'Psycho' is the name of Red Velvet's song, and'Monster' is the name of Red Velvet's unit,'Irene & Seulgi'.

Here, a trace of A's late deletion and correction of the positively written posts about Red Velvet and Irene posted on social media in the past were also captured.



In addition, industry officials such as famous photographers, magazine editors, and former Red Velvet staff who saw the article sympathized by pressing'Like', raising suspicion that the entertainer is not a member of Red Velvet.



In this situation, Irene and her management company SM Entertainment officially apologized, and it was revealed that A's real Irene was the person who was exposed.

Although Irene apologized to Mr. A and showed a reflective attitude, the public is showing great shock and disappointment that he was exposed to the wrong personality by industry officials and stood at the center of the suspicion.



Meanwhile, Mr. A has deleted the disclosure article and SNS account.
