Kapanlagi.com - Starting from Yunho TVXQ being questioned for violating curfew and then immediately apologizing through his Instagram. It turns out that it doesn't stop there, MBC Newsdesk reported that the place visited by Yunho is an adult entertainment venue, where it was revealed that Yunho tried to escape when he was about to be arrested.

In response to this, SM Entertainment immediately spoke up. The agency denies that Yunho tried to escape. The agency also emphasized that there were no female employees accompanying him. Here is the complete statement!

1. SM Entertainment Denies MBC's Accusations

"This is SM Entertainment.

Today there is false news about Yunho and here we will provide a statement.

Yunho is clearly at fault for violating the curfew during social distancing and he has personally reflected on his actions. However, he did not commit any other wrongdoing, other than the social distancing regulations.

Yunho went to that place because he was asked by his friend who wanted to talk about something. This is the first time he went to that place.

Also, Yunho only spent time with his friends. It is completely untrue that there were female employees sitting with them. When the police arrived, there was only a manager handling the payment, and there were no female employees at all.

In addition, it is completely untrue that Yunho tried to escape when the police arrived. What happened was that he obediently followed the police's examination, and after confirming his identity at the scene, he was allowed to go home. Because at that time, suddenly more than 10 plainclothes police officers entered the store, some of his friends were surprised and protested, not knowing that the ones who came were police officers. However, this is something unrelated to Yunho.

It is unfortunate that news is made without confirming the facts first.

Criticism and punishment will be accepted for his mistakes, but we hope to stop spreading false news or assumptions."

2. Police also deny Yunho trying to escape

The police gave the same statement as SM Entertainment that Yunho did not try to escape at all and remained in his seat. The police also explained that there was no physical contact between Yunho's group and the duty police.

The police explained that they tried to control the situation and some people protested but stopped immediately when informed that disturbing police work is a criminal act.

"We do not consider this as a criminal act for disturbing police duties," said the police on duty as quoted by Joongang Ilbo.
