Actress Hwang Jung-eum directly addressed a past controversy surrounding a free toy giveaway.

On the 7th, a video titled "The day I started semi-automatic dieting" was posted on Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel, 'Hwang Jung-eum.'

On that day, while undergoing enzyme compress therapy for her diet, Hwang Jung-eum naturally chatted with fans around her. During the conversation, the free toy giveaway controversy that had erupted in February was brought up.

When one fan said about the giveaway at the time, "I really liked it," Hwang Jung-eum began explaining the situation by saying, "I had to move house back then."

Hwang Jung-eum revealed, "(I) hadn't finished organizing (the toys), and I posted about it while still in the process of sorting them out. I started by posting first," adding, "The intention to share them quickly turned into a commotion."

She then added, "It seems that how things appear is also important," reflecting on the aspects of the giveaway process that had been disappointing.

Previously, in February, Hwang Jung-eum had announced that she would give away toys and baby products she had been using for free from her home in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. At the time, Hwang Jung-eum stated, "I'm doing a free toy giveaway. These are toys my child used cleanly, so please feel free to take them if you need them," and personally initiated the sharing event.

However, photos released at the same time captured some toys placed on the ground near a waste collection area, which unexpectedly sparked controversy. As some products appeared damaged, some pointed out that it was not a giveaway but rather "waste disposal."

Subsequently, an internet user who claimed to have visited the actual giveaway site defended Hwang Jung-eum by describing the situation at the time. The user explained, "It did not look like waste," and stated, "Baby items and books were given away for free in a spacious yard, while adult clothes, bags, shoes, etc., were conducted like a flea market."

The user also noted, "The children's toys were in two locations, not just on the ground but also on top of car beds. It did not look like waste at all," and reported that Hwang Jung-eum responded kindly by helping with shopping bags.

In response to this post, Hwang Jung-eum directly commented, "Thank you. Since it was an article containing facts that were not true, I had not been responding." She further urged, "Please talk a lot about the sharing of toys, baby clothes, and books."
