With advertisers' growing demand to meet with Clara regarding possible penalty fees and contract terminations, the actress's manager, Mr. Kim, has spoken to the press to reveal that he will be the one to meet with them.
Speaking with media outlet Star Today, Mr. Kim opened up about the difficult situation their side has been facing lately, saying, "I have felt down to my bones how difficult and scary it is to go against someone of power."
"Whatever the reason is, we're sorry to the public to be the ones standing in the center of this controversy. I will be meeting with the advertisers soon to figure out a way to amicably resolve the issues."
As mentioned before, several advertisers who had signed with the actress to endorse their products are now threatening to file lawsuits against her for harming their brand image. So it seems Mr. Kim will be stepping up to meet with them, but he will be doing it alone as Clara is still staying abroad and does not have plans to return soon.
Mr. Kim also revealed more of their difficulties, stating, "Honestly, we are feeling betrayed at the tyrannical actions of some of the media outlets and other sources that we had trusted... In this kind of situation, there is no one to trust and turn to. For a while we had no choice but to respond to matters only through our lawyer."
Another rep from Clara's side also revealed to Ilgan Sports regarding the actress's whereabouts, stating, "Clara is currently in Hong Kong shooting for a short film that will be aired during the film festival there. She will not be returning to Korea before the month is over. After she finishes filming, she'll be heading over to the U.S. to take on drama and movie auditions. She will be carrying out various overseas activities for the next two months... We have no choice but to continue with our scheduled activities, we can't change them. It's expected that Clara will return to Korea around March. The schedules she'll be carrying out until then have been all decided on before all this, so she can't avoid them."
Regarding the Korean Entertainment Management Association's statement released that urged the actress to halt her celebrity activities while she resolves the matters at hand, her side stated, "Clara will be carrying out her overseas activities for the time being. We have nothing to say regarding the statement made by the association."
