JAKARTA - A number of public figures attend birthday events without complying with health protocols. Sports Kyunghang reported, Lee Min Jung, Lee Joo Yeon ex After School, Hyomin T-Ara, Kim Hee Jung, and gymnastic Son Yeon Jae visited an influencer's birthday celebration in the fashion world on May 9.

The COVID-19 pandemic became a major issue again when the second wave of the corona virus was discovered to have originated from the crowd of a number of clubs in the Itaewon area. The government has also recommended closing entertainment facilities to reduce the number of victims.

However, from the photos the artist has shared via social media, not one of them is wearing a mask.

The artists' agencies immediately stepped in to give a statement. ESteem Entertainment, Lee Min Jung's agency stated that the artist visited the Cheongdam area to give gifts, greeted briefly, took pictures and then went home.

Athlete Son Yeon Jae's agency also said the same thing; "The person who noticed Son Yeon Jae asked for a group photo so he took off his mask for a while."

Yeon Jae also said that she only knew Lee Min Jung. He left the event after greeting those concerned.

Likewise with Sublime Artist Agency, which is Hyomin and Kim Hee Jung's agency and Mystic Story, which is Lee Joo Yeon's shelter. “Lee Joo Yeon was invited to a birthday event in Cheongdam on May 9th. It's not in Itaewon as reported. "

These agencies compactly stated that the artist was reflecting on their treatment. Lee Min Jung and Hyomin participated in the Thank You challenge where they thanked the medical workers who fought COVID-19.

Previously, BTS's Jungkook, NCT's Jaehyun, ASTRO's Eunwoo, SEVENTEEN's Mingyu visited the Itaewon area before the second batch was announced. These four idols apologized for their actions.
