Singer Eun Ji-won acknowledged the violation of quarantine rules and apologized.
On the 20th, Eun Ji-won's agency, YG Entertainment, said, "Eun Ji-won has recently been confirmed to have visited Jeju." "We sincerely apologize for causing concern with this incident amid the efforts of the quarantine authorities and the sacrifice of many people to prevent the spread of COVID-19. I give,” he said.
"Eun Ji-won is currently deeply reflecting on her carelessness, and we will also seriously recognize and reflect on the fact that our artists violated quarantine rules." I will do my best to make it happen."
Earlier on the same day, a media released a photo of Eun Ji-won with five people at an outdoor cafe in Jeju Island on the 15th. At that time, Jeju Island was in the third stage of social distancing, and private gatherings of more than five people were prohibited. As a result, Eun Ji-won's party, a group of six, violated quarantine rules. On the 18th, Jeju Island raised its social distancing to four levels.
Article 83 of the Infectious Disease Prevention Act stipulates that the head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the competent Mayor/Do governor, or the head of a Si/Gun/Gu may impose a fine of not more than 100,000 won in case of a violation of collective restrictions or prohibitions.
