On December 6, Nam Bo Ra uploaded her letter to the public in a long post on Instagram. She wrote, "...I am sorry to those who were upset after reading my interview. I am sorry," referring to her comment about how she thought money and power are not that important for happiness and that having too much of it can be a burden. Many people thought that the comment was inappropriate since it was coming from a privileged celebrity.
She clarified her comment saying, "...earlier this year, I had a family tragedy and ridiculous rumors..." She talked about how even though she felt like she couldn't go on, she decided to recall happy memories from her life, pull herself together, and try to be happy, for the sake of her family -- especially her younger siblings. Nam Bo Ra said that her comment about happiness and money came from this experience, that she wasn't downplaying the financial difficulties some people might go through but was merely reflecting on what she learned about happiness from her difficult time.
In the interview she is referring to, Nam Bo Ra had said, "I don't think the standard of happiness is having a lot of money or power. Too much of it can be a burden. I am a 'humble stone pot," so even though I may appear to be small to others, I am most happy in small things."
The actress also addressed her rumor about having a sponsor after being spotted with a man in photos, saying, "...It is not a sponsor. The photos (with her ex-boyfriend) were taken after the funeral (of her brother who committed suicide)."
