Ha-young removes apology from Chinese account after family-history controversy

The report said Ha-young posted apologies on domestic and overseas social accounts after a broadcast about her family drew attention to her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities, but later removed the post from her Chinese account. At the time, the apology remained on her domestic account, and the article contained no official explanation for the removal.

Comments should not be assumed to explain the decision, nor should an ancestor's conduct be treated as the descendant's own. The discussion concerns responsibility for public remarks about family history, explanations after an apology and consistency across platforms.
