Amid controversy over construction nuisance at the villa in Pyeongchang-dong where actor Ki Eun-se is preparing to move, her agency Sublime stated that they took swift action after becoming aware of the complaints.

Sublime issued an official statement on the 7th, saying, "After learning that some residents experienced inconvenience with parking and cleaning during the interior construction process at the villa where Ms. Ki Eun-se was scheduled to move in about two weeks ago, we apologized to the residents who raised the issue, completed neighborhood cleaning, and took swift measures to address vehicle traffic inconvenience. We are also continuing to clean the site and its surroundings daily to maintain cleanliness."

Sublime explained that since the complaints arose, they have been in continuous communication with nearby residents to coordinate and prevent any additional inconvenience related to the move and construction. They added, "Currently, construction is proceeding without any additional complaints of inconvenience."

Furthermore, they stated, "The construction company is also maintaining steady communication with residents and will pay even closer attention and manage the situation to ensure no inconvenience occurs to the neighborhood until the construction is completed. We ask for your understanding for the concern caused."

Meanwhile, netizen A posted a complaint on social media on the 27th of last month, starting with, "I came back to my parents' home in Pyeongchang-dong, Korea, after living in the U.S. for a long time, and the current state of the construction next door is truly outrageous." A continued, "It has been under repair for months because an actor is moving in, and construction vehicles have taken over the alley in front of the house, making it difficult for even one car to pass. The area is filled with construction debris and dust, and even the neighborhood cleaning has not been done properly," expressing their frustration.

Previously, Ki Eun-se had shared her recent activities via her YouTube channel, revealing that she is preparing to move to a house in Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

A stated, "My parents are quietly enduring it, believing that it is best for neighbors to be good to each other, but as a child watching from the side, it is unbearable." They further claimed, "At first, they said it would be finished by mid-April, but when I asked again recently, they changed their story, saying it would now be mid-May or that they don't know when it will end."

A also said, "It seems they are trying to brush off these inconvenient situations just because they are celebrities. Where does this sense of privilege come from, taking the sacrifice of neighboring residents for granted? Before building a beautiful house, shouldn't they first show the minimum common sense and courtesy toward their neighbors? Just because my parents are quietly enduring it doesn't mean their suffering is acceptable," emphasizing their point.

The post spread across social media and online communities, sparking controversy. Some netizens responded with comments such as, "Do they think being a celebrity is a government position?", "When it goes too far, it becomes a nuisance," and "We should file a complaint with the district office."

Comments on Ki Eun-se's YouTube channel also included criticism like, "They say they will report the significant nuisance caused by the construction to the district office, but they should first take care of the neighboring residents," and "It would have been better if they had considered the neighbors during the interior construction. It's a pity. Seeing the photos posted by neighbors who are inconvenienced, it has gone beyond the level of a nuisance and reached the level of a report." On the other hand, supportive opinions emerged, such as, "Neighbors should endure each other's personal matters," and "The person moving in needs to do repairs; isn't this unavoidable?"

Subsequently, on the 28th of last month, A posted an additional message, saying, "I vented my frustration, and I appreciate the many people's interest. They sent an apology via DM. When I spoke to the relevant parties before, there were no actions taken, and now they are finally moving, which makes me feel a bit bitter. I hope society becomes more considerate of each other in the future." Two days later, on the 30th of last month, A shared a photo of the site with construction vehicles parked there, stating, "It seems there is no intention to improve at all," and reiterated their complaint, "It is difficult to even get a car out of the alley next door."

However, he later reported, "After I posted the site photo today, the manager visited. I received a promise that they will correct the parking and trash issues in the future. The construction will continue until the 15th, and after that, separate parking lot construction will follow. I hope that in the future, we can avoid raising our voices over such matters and work together with mutual consideration to see the construction completed successfully."
