Actor Ha-young Faces Fallout Over Great-Grandfather's Pro-Japanese Controversy... Interviews Canceled

Actor Ha-young has issued an apology as a descendant regarding the controversy over her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese actions, while the fallout continues with content she appeared in being set to private.

On the 12th, Ha-young posted a statement on social media saying that she heavily accepts the faults of her great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, and sincerely apologizes as his descendant.

She reflected on having casually mentioned her family history and stated that she will be more cautious in approaching history in the future.

However, as the controversy persisted, web variety shows and YouTube content filmed to promote her drama were switched to private or had their release postponed, and an interview scheduled to take place today was also canceled.

An official blog post by Anyang City from six years ago that introduced Ahn Sang-ho as an independence activist has also become an issue.

Recently, Anyang City set the post to private, stating that it was a situation where his pro-Japanese history could not be grasped at the time.
