During an interview on the 14th, the actress stated, "I saw the headlines while I was on the way to [an] interview. They caught me off guard."

She continued, "I want to explain before Gary oppa sees the news. I'm very worried that oppa will misunderstand." She further explained, "The related program asked me the question in such a way [that lured me to answer the way I did], and I only went with it in a playful way."
