Music producer and songwriter Shinsadong Tiger clears his name from alleged involvement in prostitution scandal.
Recently, he has been rumored to be involved in a prostitution scandal. With regards to the rumor, Shinsadong Tiger steps up to clear his name by posting a long message on his Instagram account saying:
“I am posting this because I am fed up and tired.
Rumors have been going around these days. It also happened in 2013 as well, however, I did not respond with an article since I was worried that people around me would be misunderstood if I did.
I tried to do the same thing this time and kept the burden to myself, thinking that ‘they would all forget soon.’ However, I overheard people next to our table at a restaurant talking about me as if the rumors were true. I have also heard that my cousin got into an argument with friends after receiving a text with regards to the rumors.
I kept everything to myself and thought that releasing a statement through an article would just make the issue bigger.
I am posting this now since I do not want to be misunderstood anymore. I have not received any investigation regarding the recent news and I was not contacted by the prosecutor’s office nor the police.
I flew out of the country for work on the day that rumors started. I am sick and tired of this. Whenever this happens, my parents and family and everyone who believes in me are hurt more than myself.”
