While actress Ki Eun-se faced public backlash for her defensive attitude amid controversy over nuisance caused by interior renovation work, singer and actress Son Dam-bi is being compared to her after expressing her sincere apology to neighbors regarding her own renovation project.

On the 8th, a video titled "Did Hae-i successfully take her first steps at the children's playground? Hae-i outing diary | Parenting vlog" was uploaded to Son Dam-bi's YouTube channel 'Dam-bi Son.'

Sharing her recent updates, Son Dam-bi said, "I had interior renovation work for three months, so there was indeed some noise," adding, "I felt sorry for the people on the floor below. I had intended to finish it sooner, but I suddenly started filming a drama and was completely distracted."

She further revealed, "Today is my only day off, so I pre-ordered some very delicious rice cakes and am currently packaging them all."

Son Dam-bi also drew attention by writing and attaching handwritten letters to each neighboring household along with the rice cake gifts.

In contrast, actress Ki Eun-se faced backlash after her interior renovation work at her home in Pyeongchang-dong, which she was moving into, sparked controversy over nuisance to neighbors, and she further alienated the public by reacting defensively to those who raised concerns.

On the 27th of last month, netizen A posted on a personal account, "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 added, "The house has been under repair for months because the 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."

A continued, "My parents have been quietly enduring it, believing that it's best for neighbors to keep the peace, but as a child watching from the side, it's unbearable. They initially said the work 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 the completion date is uncertain. It seems they are trying to brush off these inconvenient situations just because they are celebrities. Where does this sense of privilege come from, treating the sacrifice of surrounding neighbors as? Shouldn't they first show the minimum common sense and courtesy toward their neighbors before building a beautiful house? Just because my parents are quietly enduring it doesn't mean their suffering is acceptable."

Subsequently, on the 30th of last month, A posted photos of the site with construction vehicles parked there, adding, "There seems to be no intention to improve at all. It's even difficult to get a car out of the alley next to it."

In response, Ki Eun-se's agency, Sublime, stated on the 7th, "Ki Eun-se became aware that some residents experienced inconvenience regarding parking and cleaning during the interior renovation process at the villa where she was scheduled to move in about two weeks ago. She apologized to the residents who raised the issue, completed the neighborhood cleaning, and took swift measures to address the vehicle passage inconvenience. She is currently continuing to clean the site and surrounding areas daily and is paying close attention to maintaining cleanliness."

However, on the afternoon of the same day she issued the apology statement, Ki Eun-se posted a cryptic message on her personal account saying, "I hope the world is warm." Furthermore, on the following day, the 8th, she claimed, "I have been living next to Gong (President) since the time I sold the land a year and a half ago," but was criticized for being a person who only sees things from her own perspective.
