The statement reads that they are aware of the "problematic behavior" of Kim Yoo Jung at the recent official event that went viral online.
At the promotion of "Because I Love You," Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Yoo Jung and other actors of the movie stood on stage and interacted with the press and fans. However, in a report by allkpop, Kim Yoo Jung is seen playing with her nails and leaning on one leg. People on the internet termed this as "lack of professionalism." "At first, I thought it was no big deal but if she's on stage, she has to show perfection because that's her job," wrote a netizen.

"We're aware of the problematic behavior of her at an official event that's spreading online.
