K-Celebrities Lee Min-jung and Min Do-hee Apologize Following Recent Public Controversies

Actresses Lee Min-jung and Min Do-hee have both issued public apologies following separate incidents that sparked online debate among fans. Lee Min-jung's controversy arose from a photo taken in Venice, while Min Do-hee faced criticism over an image from an airport.

Lee Min-jung, who accompanied her husband Lee Byung-hun to the Venice International Film Festival for his film 'Concrete Utopia', found herself in a heated discussion. While enjoying her time with close friend Son Ye-jin, she posted a photo on social media that drew public ire. The image showed her posing with a luxury bag in front of what appeared to be an altar in a church-like setting. Netizens quickly criticized the act as disrespectful in a sacred space. Lee Min-jung clarified that the location was a former church now repurposed as an event hall and restaurant within a hotel. She apologized for causing discomfort, stating, "I apologize if posing on what felt like an altar caused discomfort. I will be more careful in the future."

Min Do-hee also faced a public backlash due to a photo shared from an airport. On her way to Japan with her mother, she posted pictures on her social media showing her with her feet (wearing shoes) on a public airport chair. This was quickly called out as thoughtless behavior in a public area. Min Do-hee promptly deleted the photo and uploaded an apology. She expressed deep regret for her "careless actions" and acknowledged that, as a public figure, she should have been more cautious. She promised to reflect on her actions and pay greater attention to even small details in the future.

Lee Min-jung is a prominent South Korean actress recognized for her roles in hit dramas like 'Boys Over Flowers,' 'Cunning Single Lady,' and 'Once Again.' She married actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013 and they have one son together. Known for her elegant style and candid personality, she actively engages with fans through social media.
