The famous BJ Kei (real name Park Joong-gyu) clarified the rumors that emerged after the Itaewon massacre.
On the 30th, BJ Kei posted on his Afreeca TV station, “Before writing, please refrain from writing and pray for the well-being of the deceased. My heart aches.”
He continued, “However, despite this sad situation, I saw many speculative posts about me through many notes and posts. “I think you will know that it is a very absurd statement and it is not true. “
BJ Kei said, “The media said that ‘a celebrity visited a bar and a crowd gathered’, and some people refer to the celebrity as me. I was pushed in,” he explained.
He continued, “The lies are so serious that Afreeca TV asked for the route to find out the exact facts and inform them of all the routes and time zones we went yesterday. Hani, I hope you will judge the truth once the facts are known. “Once again, the victims of the Itaewon accident, I sympathize with the people and their families.”
Earlier, on the night of the 29th, near the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, a large crowd of people immediately gathered before Halloween, causing a huge disaster. A total of 303 people were injured, including 154 dead, 33 seriously injured, and 116 lightly injured.
