The actress thanked fans for their support but revealed concerns about how the controversy might affect the drama.
Hello, this is Yeonji, the actress.
In the middle of the night, my Instagram and Brunch app notifications, which are usually quiet, kept going off!
I checked to see what the matter was, and I saw my writings about a project I participated in had been uploaded to a different online community.
I am writing this, however, because I feel there is an understanding.
It was my choice to participate in a project with a nude scene, and I don’t have any regrets.
So please, I ask there aren’t any people who suffer because of my writing.
I deleted my writings in fear of it causing a negative effect on the project that I participated in.I am always thankful for the support you have given me!

Previously, controversy erupted when Yeonji had written on her Brunch page that she had been coerced by the director of Hit The Spot to film a nude scene.
I didn’t want to take my clothes off. It isn’t because I was embarrassed due to the many people on set. It was because I was afraid that if I took off my clothes in this scene, from now on, I would only be offered parts where the character takes her clothes off.

The actress revealed that if she had declined, the director stated she would re-cast her character, which sparked accusations alleging the director had abused her power.
When the controversy grew, the drama responded in a statement in which it denied that the director had abused her power.
After verifying with the actress, the actress stated that she did not regret filming the nude scene. The actress states that she is currently taken aback at the response as she did not mean to insinuate that there was an abuse of power.
