She explained, "From what I know, a netizen pretended to be an information source. The rumor got blown out of proportion and was written up as an article. Lately, I get a lot of messages on SNS, and that's how I first found out. I started getting phone calls. I even got congratulatory texts. My label only knew because I told them".

She revealed, "That day, I was supposed to go to Lee Hyun Woo's movie screening, but the label told me not to go. They told me it would be the best to stay quiet, and told me to stay home, and I got so angry. But my manager begged me for the first time, so I said I wouldn't go, but I asked them to make sure to catch the person responsible."

She then said, "In the end, we caught the netizen. I'm planning on meeting him soon. It's the meeting I'm looking the most forward to in 2013."
