Kim Tae Ri Apologizes for "Talent Donation" Controversy

-

After the recent criticism that actress Kim Tae Ri faced because of her call for talent donation, the Mr. Sunshine actress expressed her apologies.


Through her SNS, she penned a letter regarding the issue.

Hello, this is Kim Taeri.
Above all, I’m sorry for the trouble I have caused. I'd like to express my apologies to everyone I made feel uncomfortable. As I was worried that this might cause further discomfort to many people, I was cautious and delayed in addressing this issue. I am writing this to convey my apologies to those who may be disappointed in me.

I planned my vlog as a way to repay the love I have received from my fans, and I have been involved in every step of the process, from filming to editing to, at present, the English subtitles. I thought that this might be a more complete way to repay my fans.

Since the video was released, fans from various countries, not just English-speaking ones, have requested subtitles in their own languages. Seeing the different languages under the video made me think about how great it would be if they could enjoy the video with subtitles in their own language. But because I was so focused on the idea of completing something meaningful with my fans, I failed to approach the most important issue with caution. Clearly, I fell short.

I should not have approached my fans as if I was asking for talent donations. It was a clear mistake, and I deeply reflect on the fact that I was not aware of it myself. I apologize to everyone who may have felt uncomfortable due to my short-sighted thoughts and actions.

I realize that a sincere apology is more important than anything else. I sent an apology email to everyone who so kindly offered to help with the translation work.

Once again, I sincerely apologize.

 

Prior to this, her management also issued a statement regarding the "Is This Place" talent donation drive from Kim Tae Ri. Read their statement here.

The actress recently asked fans to translate her vlogs for free and it was not met with enthusiastic response but unhappy and disappointed comments from fans.
