She went on to explain what that wasn’t her phone and revealed details behind the situation.

I usually put a phone grip on the back of my phone and use it for navigation. But this wasn’t my phone, so there was no phone grip. The distance in front of me and behind me is so wide that I feel uncomfortable and feel it’s more dangerous when I put my phone on a holder.

But another netizen continued to criticize the model and claimed that it didn’t matter if there were cars or not.

You’re driving with one hand. Why does it matter if there were cars in front of you or not?

And Ji Yoon Mi responded to this comment with an apology.

It does matter. I was driving at low speed on a road with almost no cars. It might not look like it in the video, but I was driving safely. I’m sorry if this caused you discomfort.

When the criticism didn’t die down, Ji Yoon Mi ultimately took down the video and turned her Instagram account to private.
