It looks like actress Merry Lee (Lee Mae-ri) will not hold the 'Me Too' press conference after all.
The actress spoke with Sports DongA on the 29th and stated, "I will not be holding the press conference. The things I want to say have already been revealed through several interviews and I'm mentally overwhelmed. I felt exhausted after reckless news articles came out and my mother is really having a hard time. The work that I'm doing in Qatar is important too so I plan to just focus on that."
A secretary from the civic organization group that was planning the event for her also spoke out and said, "The press conference has not yet been canceled. We're currently trying to persuade her (Merry Lee). We must respect the victim's decision. Please don't attack her."
Merry Lee had previously planned to hold a press conference in early April to expose corrupt public officials as she had been a victim of sexual harassment and was forced to serve drinks for public figures. She had planned to share additional instances of the sexual harassment through the conference but she has since then decided to cancel the event.
The actress currently resides in Qatar and is working as a promotional ambassador for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

maybe she was threatened
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I'm thinking too because it's so sudden and she said her mom and family are having a hard time. I'm sure these corrupt public officials got to them.
DeleteTo be honest it was kinda obvious that it would lead to this. If you're going to threaten the livelihood of monsters you gotta make sure that you will go all-in and be reassured that your loved ones are safe and secure. She spoke thoughtlessly and she is in trouble now. That woman that is the witness of that other case has pretty much halted everything in her life and I think her relatives live abroad (or she doesn't have relatives)? Anyway, without a good backing or self-sacrifice you won't go that far in exposing powerful people
ReplyDeleteThey should not have announced it publicly beforehand. They should habe just held it.... What a shame.
ReplyDeleteYea I think giving these corrupt officials a heads up was not a good move smh
