Yang Joon-hyuk, a baseball player-turned-TV broadcaster, directly explained the suspicion that he would enter politics.
On the 7th, Yang Joon-hyuk said on his personal account, "Recently, an article about Lee Chul-woo, a candidate for governor of North Gyeongsang Province, joining the camp has been reported, and related information has been spreading on social media, so I'm telling you my position because it seems necessary to explain it."
Yang Joon-hyuk said, "A while ago, an acquaintance I was close to asked me if I could use my name, so I inadvertently allowed my name to be used," adding, "In retrospect, I would like to tell you that it was my permission due to my ignorance that I did not think about what would happen in the future."
"I have no intention of entering politics now or in the future or doing related activities," he stressed.
Meanwhile, Lee Chul-woo, a candidate for governor of North Gyeongsang Province, announced late last month that he had appointed Yang Joon-hyuk as a special adviser directly under the candidate. As a result, suspicions were raised that Yang Jun-hyuk would enter the political world, but he directly denied it.
Hello, I'm Yang Junhyuk.
Recently, an article about Lee Chul-woo, a prospective candidate for governor of North Gyeongsang Province, joining the camp was reported in connection with me, and related information was spreading on social media, so I told you my position because it seems necessary to explain it.
Not long ago, a close acquaintance asked me if I could use my name, so I inadvertently allowed him to use my name. Looking back, I would like to say that it was my permission due to my ignorance of not thinking about what will happen in the future.
I'm sorry for causing concern to my friends and staff and to the baseball fans and viewers who supported me. I have no intention of entering politics now or in the future or doing related activities.
I hope there will be no more misunderstanding, and I will live steadily as a responsible breadwinner who hopes for the happiness of the family in the future.
Once again, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
Thank you.
