What REALLY Happened Behind the Controversy

Since such controversies have taken a huge toll on Ahn Bo Hyun’s reputation, an official clarification finally emerged from the female staff and the brilliant actor of “Itaewon Class” and “My Name” himself.

The Truth Behind Ahn Bo Hyun’s Alleged Personality Issue

SPOTV News exclusively reported on August 9 that the female staff who appeared holding the script for Ahn Bo Hyun had decided to speak up. Apparently, the female staff appearing in the scene was Ahn Bo Hyun’s former stylist. She decided to reveal everything through an exclusive interview with SPOTV news.

In the interview, the former stylist of “Itaewon Class” and “My Name” actor Ahn Bo Hyun reportedly felt upset with the circulating rumor. According to her statement, there were never any ‘abusive’ situations happening at all.

“I feel frustrated and upset over the ridiculous rumors about Ahn Bo Hyun’s personality controversy. Despite the mosaic blur they put on my face, I constantly felt scared whenever the photo came out. And I decided to speak up because Ahn Bo Hyun is experiencing a difficult time.
At that moment, there was a sudden change in the schedule. I was informing Ahn Bo Hyun about the particular scenes affected by the change in the script while checking the timing of the message through my phone.
I have been working with Ahn Bo Hyun for a long time, and he is a very good person. Even in such situations, he would discuss the best approach to resolve the issues with the staff.
That is why I am distraught and disappointed when people write hateful comments after merely watching such a short clip.”

The YouTube Channel Controversy

Meanwhile, regarding his YouTube channel’s subscription controversy, Ahn Bo Hyun revealed to have nothing to do with the issue. That is because, since 2020, Ahn Bo Hyun’s manager has been the one taking care of his YouTube channel.

But still, he apologized for causing such commotion and for having failed to properly manage his social media.

“When I first opened the Bravo Hyun YouTube in 2019, I was the one managing the channel. However, starting in the second half of 2020, my manager was the one operating the channel for me, including video uploading and editing.
I heard about my manager’s mistake, and I sincerely apologize. I have no excuses because it is my responsibility for failing to take care of the channel properly.
In the future, I will be more responsible in taking care of the YouTube channel.”
