Actor Jung Hae-in issues another explanation regarding the 'umbrella protocol' that previously sparked allegations of bullying.
Jung Hae-in will appear as a 'Tteum Friend' alongside actor Heo Sung-tae in SBS's variety program 'Whenever I Have Time,' airing on the 18th, to find spare time in Seoul's Dongjak District.
During the broadcast, Jung Hae-in is scheduled to explain a photo that went viral on online communities last year.
The photo shows an airport scene where Jung Hae-in's manager places a large umbrella over him. Despite the manager holding an umbrella as big and heavy as a parasol, Jung Hae-in ignores it, smiles leisurely toward the camera, and enters the airport.
Jung Hae-in, who nearly became embroiled in 'bullying controversy,' clarified that his manager is his younger brother, bringing the incident to a close as a mere mishap.
On the broadcast, Jung Hae-in cheerfully reveals his sibling's identity, saying, "My 'Ttakari' made by Mom (?)." He plans to disclose that his younger brother continues to be a reliable companion as his manager.
As Jung Hae-in revives the episode after a year on variety shows, the 'umbrella photo' from that time is being re-examined.
Netizens viewing this have responded cheerfully with comments such as, "He clearly distinguishes between work and personal life with his younger brother," "Wow, he gets paid to wear an umbrella for his older brother," and "If my sister offered me money, I could even put on a bigger umbrella."
Meanwhile, Jung Hae-in appeared in the Netflix drama 'Such Stupid Love,' released on the 7th. However, the drama's promotion has faced difficulties as co-star Ha Young became embroiled in controversy over her ancestor's pro-Japanese activities.
Jung Hae-in voiced the protagonist Gon in the animated film 'Gills,' set for release in September. 'Gills' is based on the novel 'Gills' by author Koo Byung-mo.
