K-Drama Actress Criticized Following Apology Labeled a “Fail”

Lee Si Young is facing backlash after a failed apology for a camping etiquette mess.

The controversy began when a post on a Korean camping community accused Lee Si Young’s group of bad behavior. They reportedly took up multiple sites, used microphones loud enough to disturb neighbors, caused frequent vehicle traffic, and even held a late-night treasure hunt around other tents.

Lee Si Young apologized on social media. She said she arrived late due to matters with her second child and left after only a few hours. She also claimed her group believed they were the only ones booked that day but found out later another group had arrived in the evening.

Critics weren’t buying it. They slammed her apology as deflecting responsibility. Noise, vehicle movement, and group activities allegedly kept going late, ignoring posted quiet hours at 11 pm.

Others questioned why basic campsite rules weren’t followed — no matter if other campers were there or not.

“The apology focused more on explanations than accountability.” – Netizens reacting online

As the situation spread online, many said the apology failed to acknowledge the real impact on other campers.

Lee Si Young married in 2017 and announced her divorce earlier this year. Her personal life has been under close public focus, making this latest controversy even more talked about.
