A Pink's Chorong apologizes for underage drinking but denies bullying allegations

AKP STAFF

A Pink's Chorong apologized for drinking underage but denied bullying allegations.

On April 6, Chorong apologized to fans on Instagram, stating, "Firstly, I apologize for worrying people with the underage drinking pictures before I explain the recent situation. I hurt everyone who supported me with my foolish and wrong behavior in my childhood. I sincerely apologize without making any excuses."

She continued, "The latest known incident began in late February, and it's been going on for about a month. Though it's become such a big deal due to a misunderstanding, I still remember spending time with my friends from elementary school to high school, so I feel more miserable about it and don't know how to describe it."

Chorong then continued to affirm her innocence in terms of bullying allegations, stating, "However, I'd like to reiterate that I'm innocent until the end of the day when it comes to misrepresentations. I have never slapped, undressed, or assaulted Kim as they claim. In this regard, I'll do my best to clarify my innocence based on testimony and the transcript of the call with Kim." 

Finally, she apologized once again, saying, "I was so hurt by the fans who supported me for 10 years. I ask for forgiveness for sharing this news with our fans and members on our 10th anniversary, and I sincerely apologize."

As previously reported, Chorong became embroiled in a controversy after photos of her drinking underage appeared online and a former classmate accused her of school bullying, which Play M Entertainment denied. Since then, a soju brand represented by Chorong is considering dropping her as an endorsement model.

i hope for both parties they can clear up what happened and continue living their own life. i wasn't there, so i don't know what happened, but i hope they can be careful and considerate of each other and quietly resolve their issues.

as for the underage drinking, where i come from this is not a big deal and i don't know anyone personally who has not done this but i understand in SK and especially as an idol this is looked down upon.

I adore Chorong and APINK, so i hope things turn out well for her/them, but if she really did wrong (like i said, we don't know what happened but they themselves) i hope she apologizes. If she did nothing wrong, then i hope they can clear up their misunderstandings.

take care my fellow pink pandas
