Amidst allegations that actors Kim Hi-era and Lee A-jin sexually harassed a fellow musical actor, the alleged victim, Jung Woo-yeon, has clarified the situation.

On the 7th, Jung Woo-yeon posted on his social media, "After being contacted, I was surprised to learn about the situation and am now leaving this message." He continued, "I felt the need to write this as I sense that many people are deepening their misunderstandings about the incident."

Jung explained, "During that live broadcast, I saw a comment that I could check the questions in real-time. When I opened that feature, all the questions I received were publicly displayed. After opening it, I wasn't aware that these questions were visible to others, so I didn't address them and continued with the live broadcast."

He added, "Given our previous conversations, I thought the question was a continuation of our discussions, and I didn't feel any discomfort. I want to clarify that the question wasn't intended to mock me. If I had known that such a question was publicly displayed, I would have addressed it immediately to the viewers. I feel responsible for not realizing this and escalating the situation."

Furthermore, he stated, "I've discussed this with the actors involved and hope there are no misunderstandings. I appreciate everyone's concern."

Recently, posts on several online communities claimed that in 2021, Lee A-jin and Kim Hi-era publicly posed 'pregnancy questions' to a female musical actress, A. Anonymous netizens continuously asked questions like "When will you get pregnant?", "Are you planning to get pregnant next year?", and "Is pregnancy planned for 2024?", causing discomfort among A's fans. These netizens were later identified as Lee A-jin and Kim Hi-era.

Regarding this, Lee A-jin posted on his social media on the 7th, "In 2021, while celebrating a colleague B's upcoming wedding, we discussed B's future child plans. A also mentioned that she'd like to have a family and hoped to have a child around 2024." He continued, "A few days after that conversation, A hosted a Q&A session on Instagram. Thinking only the sender could see the question, I asked A about her 2024 pregnancy plans and received her answer privately."

Lee A-jin added, "If you only look at my question without context, it can be misunderstood. I didn't realize it was a public space and mistakenly left a personal comment. However, I had no intention of hurting A or bringing this up publicly."

Jung Woo-yeon made his debut in the 2018 musical 'Finding Kim Jong-wook'. He is currently starring in the musicals 'Jessie's Diary' and 'Hook'.
