Actor Park Seo-joon has addressed the recent controversies that have arisen.
On the 7th, he posted a lengthy message on his official fan cafe, explaining the incidents that occurred during the stage greeting of the movie 'Concrete Utopia' (directed by Um Tae-hwa), including a fan intrusion, refusing to wear a headband, and rejecting a hand heart gesture at the event.
Firstly, he expressed his concern for his fans, saying, "I decided to write this post because I worried that some of you might have been hurt. I was afraid that you might feel more upset than I do."
He mentioned an incident where a female fan intruded onto the stage. "When I turned around, someone was hugging me," he recalled. "I noticed the smell of alcohol, and it seemed like she made a mistake."
Despite being taken aback, he tried to end the event on a positive note and apologized, saying that the security personnel were also occupied with other events at the time. He asked his fans not to worry.
He also explained the situation regarding not wearing the headband. There was a video online showing Park Seo-joon rejecting the headband while Park Bo-young was wearing it. He gestured a refusal with his hand.
He clarified, "I had applied a lot of hairspray to fix my hair firmly, so it wouldn't move like it had a lid on it. If I put something on my head in that state, it would hurt my scalp a lot."
He further clarified that he didn't think it was for him, assuming that it was for Bo-young. He didn't accept it to avoid making her feel awkward.
Regarding the refusal to make a hand heart at a brand photo event, he explained, "The brand asked us to avoid doing the heart sign, and I was trying to follow their request."
Lastly, Park Seo-joon reassured his fans, saying, "I'm okay because you are all here. With all of you, I'm not afraid of anything." He hoped that the recent commotion wouldn't hurt anyone and expressed his love and comfort to his fans.
On another note, Park Seo-joon stars in the movie 'Concrete Utopia,' which is set to be released on the 9th. He is also anticipating the release of his Hollywood debut film 'The Marvels.'
