Song Da-eun Refutes Burning Sun Rumors, “Not The Actress In The Case & Worked At Monkey Museum Only A Month”

On June 16th, Song Da-eun said, “I have nothing to do with the tags such as ‘club’, ‘drugs’ and ‘specific acts related to drugs’ that have followed me for several years. For your information, I’m a non-smoker and I can’t drink alcohol”.

She continued, “I want to say something about Monkey Museum”, adding “I never went to clubs after becoming an adult, entering college and until graduating. Back then, my alcohol tolerance was weak enough that even a sip of alcohol could make me drunk. Therefore, I only went to a pub near my school with college friends a few times”.

Song Da-eun explained, “One day, they asked me to join a meal with some seniors at school, and Seungri was there. I found out that I was his junior at school and he was nice to me. That’s how we got to know each other. Later, he contacted me saying he was opening a lounge club so I agreed to join because I think I thought there wouldn’t be any big problem.“

She continued, “The concept of ‘Monkey Museum = Lounge Club’ has been completely ignored. At that time, what I did at Monkey Museum was check reservations on the laptop at the entrance and wear the wristband for guests with reservations. He asked me to help in the first month and I agreed. I can prove this by showing details of my monthly salary. Before working, I was required to get a health certificate so I went to the district office to get one and had no idea that Monkey Museum was being operated illegally.”

She added, “I helped him for about a month and other people who worked with me also stopped working. A few months later, Monkey Museum held their first-anniversary party. Unexpectedly, they invited me and I even received a prize. The photo spread after I appeared on ‘Heart Signal’ so people thought I worked for Burning Sun after Monkey Museum. But that’s not true at all. Moreover, I would like to confirm that all the Burning Sun rumors about me, such as working at Burning Sun and attracting other women there, are not true”.

Song Da-eun confessed, “A few years ago, a junior actress talked about the 6 years she had lost. I experienced the same thing“, adding “I dropped out of all the dramas I was cast in and couldn’t do any other activities, such as advertising and radio broadcasts. I spent every day in despair and tears. All the things that are not true are still following me like a tag and people believe that I actually did it. My heart feels so heavy. So please stop spreading speculations that I’m a club girl and take drugs. I’m just a normal woman in my 30s who wants to live my life happily every day without those bad tags.”

Meanwhile, Song Da-eun explained rumors related to Burning Sun through her agency in 2019. At that time, the actress firmly stated, “I would like to clarify that I have nothing to do with the series of incidents related to the Burning Sun Scandal”.
