Singer Nam Jin and professional volleyball empress Kim Yeon-kyung complained of regret over the report that they publicly declared their support for the people's power leader, Rep. Kim Ki-hyun.
Rep. Kim Ki-hyun, who is running for the People's Power Party representative election, recently posted on his Facebook page, "I would like to thank Kim Yeon-kyung and Nam Jin for giving me their valuable time and preparing a bouquet of flowers saying they would support me in the party representative election." The photo was taken side by side with the photo.
Then online, attention was focused on whether or not Nam Jin and Kim Yeon-kyung actually publicly supported certain political figures.
When her controversy arose, Nam Jin refuted through her agency, saying, "It is a somewhat unfair situation."
According to Namjin's side, Namjin met player Kim Yeon-kyung from Gurye, South Jeolla Province, at a meeting where her acquaintance arranged a meal with entertainers from Honam.
She said CEO Kim Ki-hyun stopped by at the dinner table and asked for a commemorative photo, and she accepted it.
Kim Yeon-kyung's side also emphasized that she is not different from Nam-jin's stated position.
Namjin's side added, "We stayed at the table for about 3 minutes when the meal time was over, and the bouquet was prepared by that side (Rep. Kim Ki-hyun's side), and we didn't know each other."
