[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] The agency of Gahye, a former member of the group After School and a broadcaster, has officially clarified allegations of violating self-quarantine rules.

Gahye's agency, Bonbu ENT, stated in an official statement on the 15th, "Gahye returned to Korea on March 31 via an overseas flight. Although she had booked a flight to Korea on March 23, due to local circumstances, she returned on March 31."

The agency explained, "Upon returning, she voluntarily underwent a COVID-19 test and was confirmed negative. However, to prepare for any possible situation, she continued self-quarantine for two weeks at a family home in a secluded area on the outskirts of Seoul."

They added, "Gahye is currently being cautious and attentive regarding the previously raised issues and is reflecting on her actions."

Earlier, Gahye, who was residing in Bali, was embroiled in allegations of violating self-quarantine guidelines after posting a photo of her son, presumed to have been taken in a forest in Korea, on the 6th. At that time, the agency explained to some media outlets that Gahye was still in Bali and that nothing had been confirmed regarding her return.

However, on the 14th, Gahye posted on Instagram, "14th day of self-quarantine after returning. Cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, bathing, putting to sleep, reflecting, making resolutions, and praying?there’s nothing else I can do." She also said, "I sincerely apologize to everyone who was inconvenienced because of me. And I deeply bow in gratitude to everyone who comforted me," indicating she had completed her two-week self-quarantine after returning.

As the agency’s explanation and the date of Gahye’s post about completing self-quarantine did not match, allegations of violating self-quarantine intensified. A report accusing Gahye of violating self-quarantine guidelines even appeared on the National Petition Board.

Full statement from Gahye’s agency.
