Yoo Ah In & Gong Hyo Jin's labels deny reports they were prohibited from attending 'Burberry' fashion show

AKP STAFF

Yoo Ah In and Gong Hyo Jin's labels denied reports they were prohibited from attending 'Burberry's recent fashion show in London.

According to previous reports, Yoo Ah In, Gong Hyo Jin, and other celebrities from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan were not allowed at the 'Burberry' fashion show held in London on February 17 due to fears surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak. As some media outlets accused the fashion brand of racism, a rep from 'Burberry Korea' stated, "China's market is very important, and because of the recent 'Chinese New Year's Collection', Chinese reporters and related persons living in England and Europe were prioritized for invitations."

In response, Yoo Ah In's label denied the rumors, stating, "It's not that 'Burberry' told him not to come. When they asked if he attended to come, we all decided after careful consideration that he wouldn't attend. What kind of international brand would tell its own company model not to attend an event." 

Gong Hyo Jin's agency also stated, "Considering the current time, we decided with the 'Burberry' representatives that she wouldn't attend the fashion show for preventative reasons. It's not true that she was prohibited from the fashion show."

For real though, I once went to the Burberry store near Harrods, and there’s this one Chinese girl probably in her 20s, and she was buying in bulk! She got a couple of pairs of trousers, and a lot of shirts! Like wow! I’m so poor huhuhu

"As some media outlets accused the fashion brand of racism" seriously? they use "racism" card for a common sense and logic? they're a media outlets surely they know what's going on right now in the world, how come they use "racism" card when there's a clear reason? I mean coronavirus outbreak started in China, and spread fast, most of the cases are in Asia continent (like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand), so it's not a racism, it's a precautions, even my country stop any flight to China, and stop Chinese tourist from visiting, are we racist? HEll NO!!!! it's a fucking precautions and preventing the virus for spreading more
