Park Seo Joon Adress Stage Greeting Controversy
In a recent stage greeting for Concrete Utopia, it seemed to fans that Park Seo Joon's action towards Park Bo Young asking him to wear a headband was kind of rude.
I'm reaching out with this message, mindful of anyone who might have been affected and hurt.
Initially, I was flustered when I learned about the controversy. I believed that my fans might be even more distressed than I am. Yesterday, I read through each fan letter I received and went to bed contently thinking it was a good day, only to wake up to chaos. If I discuss my sentiments elsewhere, they might be taken as excuses. So, I believe this might be a fitting place for me to speak since it is our exclusive space.
During the stage greeting last Saturday, I was unaware of the intrusion. Suddenly, I found myself embraced by someone. She smelled a lot of alcohol so I thought that person made a mistake. I was taken aback but I put in the effort to wrap up the situation on a good note since she wasn't the only one at the theater.
Even my security team expressed their apologies for not intervening due to the ongoing event, but I reassured them it was alright. There's no need for concern.
The following day, headlines surfaced about headbands. Yet, truthfully, I sweat profusely when I go to the stage greeting events. Given fans prefer my hair styled in various ways, I decided to have it up that day for ease of managing sweat. My hair had an immense amount of hair spray applied in the morning to hold it in place - to an extent my hair became hard like a helmet. But in this condition, placing anything on my hair causes me significant scalp discomfort.
He addressed possible misunderstanding, saying,
It might sound like an excuse, but you're aware that I would put on those hairbands without hesitation. People say I put Park Bo Young in an awkward situation by making her hold the headband, but I didn't think it was mine. I thought her fan gave the headband to her so I thought the fan would be mad if I take what was Park Bo Young's. But I think there was a misunderstanding.
He also said that there's no discomfort with co-star Park Bo Young. Them he reassured fans,
Your presence keeps me strong. There's no fear when we're together. Please don't let the commotion disturb you. Sharing these sentiments should help ease my discomfort.
On August 5, the actor joined the stage greeting for his new movie where an alcohol-reeked female audience member hugged him despite not being called. Then on August 6, the controversial headband issue happened when a fan gave the headband to Park Bo Young and she asked Seo Joon to wear it, but he did not.
