Kang Min-kyung has had a tiring time in many ways.

Kang Min-kyung, a member of the female duo Davichi, has emerged directly in the midst of successive controversies, transforming into a professional clarifier.

Last month on the 26th, Kang Min-kyung uploaded a video titled "A Lonely Trip to Shanghai for the First Time in 36 Years" to her personal YouTube channel, "Gangming-kyung."

On that day, Kang Min-kyung edited a video lasting approximately 51 minutes with a unique sensibility, offering a visual feast to about 1.56 million subscribers. She underwent a popular "wanghong" makeup look and, as a fashion and beauty creator, shopped at various offline editing shops, providing diverse entertainment.

However, a misunderstanding arose. Some netizens raised the theory that she was accompanied by staff, citing the composition of a scene where she was eating alone at a local restaurant, saying it looked as if someone had taken the shot for her.

In response, Kang Min-kyung expressed her disappointment via a comment on the 5th: "I've been struggling to film vlogs alone for nine years now. I've been consistently doing this for nearly a decade, so I thought people would understand a bit by now, but it seems there's still a long way to go, haha."

Regarding the angle that sparked the allegations, Kang Min-kyung firmly dismissed the manipulation claims: "I set up a mini tripod outside the restaurant for a short time and filmed this shot, hoping viewers would feel a similar emotion. This was possible because Shanghai, unlike Europe, does not have a high risk of pickpocketing. The reason I am explaining this at such length is that some people are saying I claimed to be on a solo trip but was actually accompanied by staff. If it hadn't been a trip I took alone, there would have been no need to explain it so extensively."

In December last year, dating rumors surfaced. Kang Min-kyung posted a video titled "An Introvert's Year-End After a Canceled Date," showing herself drinking alcohol with oysters at home alone after finishing Davichi concert rehearsals.

At that time, a voice of a strange man saying "Is it delicious?" was heard, leading to speculation that Kang Min-kyung was in a relationship. However, Kang Min-kyung explained, "It's my voice. I opened the refrigerator and said, 'Where is it?'" instantly turning the boyfriend rumor, born from speculation, into a cheerful incident.

Additionally, when it was reported that Kang Min-kyung was included in the SNS follow list of "Auntie Jusa," a term recently thrown by broadcaster Park Na-rae, she quickly clarified: "Due to the nature of SNS, it is difficult to know exactly who is following my account. However, the things you are worried about have nothing to do with me at all!"
