On Tuesday (14/2), Kahi completed her two-year stay in Bali and announced that she is returning to Korea. The former After School member even wrote a long post with a photo of trees on a mountain.

"I have been self-isolating for 14 days after returning to Korea. I cook, clean. Cook, clean. Cook, clean. I bathe my children and put them to sleep. I reflect. I make resolutions. I pray. There is not much I can do... I apologize to everyone who feels uncomfortable because of my actions. I also thank all of you who have comforted me," Kahi wrote in her post.

The problem arose when netizens realized that Kahi's agency uploaded a photo of her child playing on a mountain on April 6, 8 days before Kahi's post. After the post caused controversy, the agency immediately clarified that Kahi was still in Bali at that time.

If the agency lied about the post and what Kahi conveyed is true, it means that Kahi violated the self-isolation regulations set by the Korean government. In response to netizens' reactions, Kahi's agency stated that they will issue an official announcement.

"We will release an official announcement as soon as we speak with Kahi directly," the agency said as reported by Koreaboo.

3. Violation of Regulations

Netizens who reported to the police added that Kahi had violated government regulations. The violation committed by Kahi can be punished according to applicable provisions.

According to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act in Korea, anyone who violates self-isolation regulations can be sentenced to up to one year in prison and a maximum fine of 10 million won (approximately Rp 128.6 million).
