Composer Yoo Jae-hwan Composer Yoo Jae-hwan, who was suspected of fraud in composition fees and sexual harassment, has apologized. At this time, the part explaining the sexual harassment allegations was quickly deleted, drawing attention to the background.
On the 26th, Yoo Jae-hwan posted on his Instagram, “First of all, I sincerely apologize to those who have been harmed by my irresponsible behavior regarding the music project. The talent donation composition project, which I thought was only intended to help people achieve their dreams, is the one they trusted and entrusted to me. “I apologize once again for betraying trust and leaving many people disappointed and hurt, and I ask for forgiveness.”
At the same time, “It is true that several personal issues arose, and that I had health problems, but I did not intentionally try to cause financial damage. The song work was in progress, but I was unable to finish it, so I unintentionally started avoiding contact, and that period ended. He explained, “It became a bit long and became inconvenient.”
Yoo Jae-hwan said, “We have done our best to provide refunds in any way possible. However, we apologize once again for doing something that should be criticized for any reason. We will do our best again to deliver the work you like. We will work in the direction you want.” “I plan to take care of it, so I will keep my promise. I am truly and deeply reflecting on the hurt and damage I caused through words and actions that I should never have done as a public figure.”
Yoo Jae-hwan said, “From now on, I will be more careful with my words and actions. If you need to receive a monetary refund, please DM me or contact me separately and I will reimburse you after confirming the facts. I apologize to everyone and I sincerely and deeply apologize once again.” The first apology he posted included information about allegations of sexual harassment, but he quickly deleted that part, raising questions.
Previously, a post was posted on a large online community accusing Mr. A, a celebrity and composer who appeared on a famous entertainment program, of fraud. He received a composition fee of 1.3 million won, did not provide any songs for two years, and even borrowed money for food, so he did not receive the amount of 1.53 million won back. The author claimed that Mr. A also made sexually harassing remarks.
Yoo Jae-hwan, who debuted in 2008 with ‘I Didn’t Know Pain’, gained popularity by appearing as the composer of Park Myung-soo’s song in the 2015 MBC ‘Infinite Challenge’ project ‘Yeongdong Expressway Song Festival’. Afterwards, he appeared in various entertainment shows such as ‘Sing For You’, ‘My Music Teacher, Minglava’, and ‘Hyoja Village’.
