Singer Soyou has denied eyewitness reports claiming she was intoxicated on board a Delta Air Lines flight in the United States. Soyou posted a lengthy statement on her social media to clarify her position.

Soyou explained, "Before boarding, I only consumed a small amount of alcohol served with a meal in the lounge, and I completed the boarding process without any restrictions or issues." This strongly refutes the claim that she boarded the plane while heavily intoxicated.

She also added, "Since I am not fully proficient in English, communication was difficult," and mentioned that a flight attendant and a security officer came when she requested a crew member who could speak Korean. This appears to explain the communication difficulties on the plane.

Soyou claimed, "Although this may have stemmed from a misunderstanding, I continued to experience humiliating incidents afterward," stating that cold stares and attitudes persisted throughout the flight. This expresses her dissatisfaction with her experience on board.

Previously, a netizen posted an eyewitness account claiming "Soyou boarded the plane intoxicated." However, the authenticity of this report has not been verified, and the post has since been deleted.

Soyou said, "I did not write this to seek compensation or to expose anyone," and apologized, saying, "I sincerely apologize to the passengers who were inconvenienced because of me." This was the concluding part of her statement.

This incident attracted public attention, and Soyou's explanation was reported by various media outlets. Controversies related to drinking on flights are common issues faced by celebrities, and Soyou's case is no exception.

Soyou's explanation is based on her personal experience on the flight and seeks public understanding. Such incidents highlight the conflict between a celebrity's private life and public image.

Soyou expressed hope that such controversies will not recur in the future. In a situation where the boundaries between a celebrity's responsibilities and personal life become blurred, her explanation can be seen as an effort to communicate with the public.

This incident has once again prompted reflection on the relationship between celebrities, fans, and the public. Soyou clearly stated her position and expressed her determination to be cautious to prevent similar issues from arising in the future.
