Hello, this is Glorious Entertainment.
Our company’s actor [Ji Chang Wook] has no relation to the individual in the photo that was shown in the broadcast. As a fan, she requested [for a photo together], and he agreed to it.

This is causing harm and pain to the actor, as well as his family and fans who are watching the situation.
We ask you to refrain from writing, posting, and spreading speculative rumors about the matter at hand.
