According to the police, Yunho stayed at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, until midnight in late February. This is a violation of social distance guidelines.

Yunho is deeply reproaching and reflecting on himself for causing disappointment to many people due to a moment of carelessness. We are also apologetic for not thoroughly managing and guiding our artist to follow social distancing guidelines in his personal time as well.
