Announcer Lee Na-yeon clarified the controversy that erupted after she served as MC for the Yonsei University aKARAka festival, stating, "I just worked hard."

On the 25th, a video titled "The Crime of Living Too Hardfully | Clarification on Yonsei University Festival MC Controversy" was released on the YouTube channel 'First, Lee Na-yeon'.

In the released video, Lee Na-yeon began by saying, "As 2026 arrives, I am breaking many bucket list items. Feeling that this moment is finite, I thought I wanted to do many things I want to do while I am young, living alone, and have plenty of time."

She revealed that the first bucket list item was the aKARAka event MC, stating, "In my early 20s, I thought, 'I want to become an announcer and stand on that stage.' When asked in an interview, 'What do you want to do if you become an announcer?' I answered, 'I want to be an MC for school events.' Then, I was approached for the aKARAka event. It felt like my dream had come true."

She continued, "During the event, there was a cheering segment. They said the dance was very funny and asked me to do it. They gave me the chance, and since I am someone who works hard, I agreed. It was harder than I thought. I don't know how much I was mocked. Is that funny? Why do that to someone who lives hard?" She expressed her grievance.

She said, "If you watch this video, you will no longer be able to mock me. I just worked really hard. Please join me in the video to see how sincere I was and the process of achieving my dream," and shared footage of her practicing dance in the practice room and cheering passionately at aKARAka.

Meanwhile, Lee Na-yeon became known for her face after appearing in the TVING original variety show 'Transfer Love 2', which was released in 2022.
