안녕하세요 박민정입니다. 어제 밤에 올린 스토리로 인해 많은 논란을 일으킨 점 죄송합니다. 우선 씨엔블루 이종현님께 저번주쯤 첫번째 다이렉트가 왔었는데, 자숙중이신걸로 알고 그냥 무시했습니다. 그 다음 또 다이렉트가 오길래 솔직한 마음으로는 조금 불쾌감을 느꼈습니다. 다른 여성분들께도 메세지를 하고 안좋은 일이 생길까봐 막고자 하는 마음도 있었습니다. 이러한 이유로 스토리를 올리게 되었는데, 개인적인 대화내용을 공개한 점에 대해서는 정말 죄송하다는 말씀을 드리고 싶습니다. 현재 스토리는 내린 상태이고 앞으로 이런 경솔한 행동을 하지 않도록 조심하겠습니다. 죄송합니다.

"Hello. This is Park Min Young. I apologize for causing controversy because of the story I uploaded. Firstly, I got a DM from CNBLUE's Jonghyun about a week ago, but I knew he was on hiatus to reflect so I ignored the message. However, when I got the second DM I felt burdened. I wanted to keep other women from experiencing this. I apologize for revealing personal messages. I took down the story and I will not make thoughtless actions. I'm sorry."

However, netizens are taking her side and telling her:

"Sorry for what? You did a good job."

"You did well! I support you! This wasn't thoughtless. You prevented a criminal from hurting more people."

"Nope. Job well done."

"She's sorry? But she's a victim. This country is strange. Don't criticize the victims."
