Ari then explained the misunderstandings that were caused by the cafe photos that got sparked the initial dating rumors.
I set up the cafe account for promotional purposes, but I unintentionally made you uncomfortable, and I apologize for that. Since I have cafe experience, I stepped up and volunteered to make it pretty, but I’d like to clarify that he did not set me up with a cafe, and that I do not get any of the cafe’s profits. I feel like you must’ve felt hurt after finding out about it through the posts on the internet.

She also clarified the false rumors linking her to the infamous cult, Shincheonji.
I’m a Christian, and I am not a part of Shincheonji. The photo of the woman that people thought was me was not actually me. 2 years ago, a sunbae of mine asked me to appear on radio, and that turned out to be a place called Cheonji Ilbo. I still don’t know if that media outlet has anything to do with Shincheonji. I apologize for causing any misunderstanding.

Moreover, Ari revealed the truth behind the wine bar photos that sparked much online debate.
As for the photos of the wine bar, I went with a close friend with mine, and the wine bar also belonged to my friend, and the shadow was also her. I’d like to clarify that he was not there.

Lastly, Ari addressed even more rumors that went around regarding a male theater actor.
Regarding the rumors that I went to a lounge bar with a male musical actor, he’s my fellow member’s biological brother, and we’ve known each other for 9 years. He wanted Instagram promotion, so I posted something for him, and I was simply there to congratulate him on opening a lounge with my fellow member.

Ari was wrapped up in many rumors up until this point, but she apologized and took full responsibility.
I apologize for staying silent until now. I thought that by clarifying, it would only hurt your feelings more and I was afraid it would also harm him as a result. This is all because I was unable to separate my personal life from my professional life and didn’t think things through. I’ll try hard to behave maturely from now on.

Here’s hoping only happiness awaits both Ari and Ryeowook in the years to come.

Hello, this is Ari.

I’m really sorry.
Also, I’ve never worn couple rings before. The photos online are photos of rings of similar design, but they’re not couple rings… And as for the photo of the flowers, I didn’t make the bouquet, and I simply recommended the floral shop where I once took lessons.
I’m a Christian, and I am not a part of Shincheonji. The photo of the woman that people thought was me was not actually me. 2 years ago, a sunbae of mine asked me to appear on radio, and that turned out to be a place called Cheonji Ilbo. I still don’t know if that media outlet has anything to do with Shincheonji. I apologize for causing any misunderstanding.
Also, I apologize for making you uncomfortable by using the hashtag “Incheon Date” last year. The hashtags and posts all had to do with a sponsor company, so I was unable to edit it. As for the photos of the wine bar, I went with a close friend with mine, and the wine bar also belonged to my friend, and the shadow was also her. I’d like to clarify that he was not there.

I feel as though you must’ve felt really hurt, so I feel bad about the fact that I’m apologizing… I’m sure this isn’t enough to make you feel better, but I wanted to apologize anyway.
I’m really, really sorry.
I’d like to stress that this is all true.
Also, my personal Instagram account, @tahiti_ari has been hacked. I say this as many people have misunderstood.
