Comedian Lee Kyung-sil expressed her displeasure amid growing controversy over alleged train misconduct and special treatment for celebrities.

On the 9th, Lee added a post to an entry she had previously shared on Facebook, writing, "Good grief. I was reflecting on a brief episode from my trip that I recorded and lightly touched upon in daily life, yet they are blowing it up as if it were a major incident and treating me like a crazy person."

Lee remarked, "My good mood after the trip is completely ruined," and added, "If I take this post down now, people will probably say, 'Take it down because of the controversy.'"

Previously, Lee had posted a review of her Busan trip on Facebook.

She stated, "I went on a packed one-night, two-day trip to Busan with college friends," and shared, "At 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday the 7th, I met a junior colleague working at the Train to Busan KTX station, greeted them after a long time, and the three of us sat side by side as we began our excited journey." She continued, "While chatting in that mood, I was gently reminded to keep quiet. I apologized immediately," adding, "I'm sorry. It seems I temporarily lost my composure during the trip with friends. And perhaps I'm not hearing things well anymore."

However, controversy arose when some argued that making loud noises on public transportation like trains constituted a nuisance.

Additionally, allegations of celebrity privilege emerged. Lee revealed she visited a popular restaurant in Gwangalli during her Busan trip, explaining, "The restaurant was fully booked at opening time, 5:30 p.m., but I arrived at 5 p.m. and started lining up. However, once we got there, the weather was so hot that we couldn't stand outside." She further explained, "I used a bit of strategy. I leaned forward with a pleading expression, and the young owner warmly welcomed me in, making me the first customer. We enjoyed a truly delicious meal at the friendly restaurant."

Nevertheless, criticism arose that she had entered ahead of others by leveraging her celebrity status at a popular restaurant with a long wait, leading to controversy over special treatment for celebrities.

As these controversies unfolded, Lee openly expressed her displeasure, drawing significant attention.
