Broadcaster An Sun-young has once again found herself at the center of controversy due to repeated remarks that sparked debate.

An Sun-young posted on her Instagram on the 9th, writing, "I couldn't find a parking spot, so I drove eight laps around a one-way street and finally parked. I arrived before the 9th a.m. exam, but they said I couldn't take the exam because it was past 8:50 a.m."

She continued, "The exam fee is 300,000 won. They said, 'You're here, so why can't you take it?' and added, 'That's why you should come early.' While that's true, I rearranged my entire day's schedule to come for this exam." She then tagged the exam organizer, saying, "At least put up a parking information sign."

She had visited the exam venue to take the internationally recognized English proficiency test, IELTS, but was denied entry for arriving after the designated time. However, according to IELTS regulations, examinees must complete identity verification and entry between 8:15 a.m. and 8:50 a.m.; entry is restricted after that time.

Later, she expressed regret, saying, "I should have taken a taxi," but criticism continued over remarks that seemed to disregard the strict time regulations required at the exam venue. As the controversy spread, An Sun-young ultimately deleted all related posts and issued an apology.

On the 10th, An Sun-young posted on her SNS, "Arriving late at the exam venue without fully understanding the exam regulations was entirely my fault." She bowed her head, stating, "I sincerely apologize to the exam organizers who handled the situation according to the regulations. I also sincerely apologize to all examinees who prepared for the same exam while adhering to the set rules."

This is not the first time An Sun-young's remarks have sparked controversy. Recently, she sparked debate through her YouTube channel by saying, "There is a commonality among houses, cars, and women. Nowadays, even men are the same, but let's consider them as people. The older they get, the higher the maintenance costs, and until they are repaired, no matter how much you clean and polish them, they look ugly."

She further added, "We have entered an era where people who are well-maintained relative to their age are praised more than those who are not, regardless of their actual age," emphasizing the importance of appearance management. Some critics argued that this view limits women's value to only their appearance and youth.

Additionally, she faced widespread criticism for her remarks about the Daechi-dong network. At the time, she said, "The reason parents send their children to the Daechi-dong tutoring district is not just for grades, but to meet people who have been filtered through a high-quality network."

As such, controversies surrounding An Sun-young's remarks continue to recur. Critics point out that in the process of generalizing her personal experiences and values, she reveals biased perceptions without filtering them, and public perception of her statements is growing increasingly uncomfortable.
