”Hello, this is KwonSoonyoungDotCom.Firstly, I’d like to apologize for making my personal problem into a huge issue. Also, I want to give my sincerest apologies for suddenly closing down the homepage without any notice.
To explain the pictures [in question] that have brought about much confusion, as @hotpink_egg has already mentioned, it’s true that I received the pictures that were taken at fansignings for free without any monetary cost from the people within my group [t/n: she’s in a group with other fansites, sort of like a union]. Naturally, without any thought, I was grateful for them.Because I couldn’t attend many fansignings, I repaid them [by exchanging with them] pictures I took at schedules that I was able to attend to such as Mansae promotions and mostly events that I was able to participate in. I never once thought nor said the pictures I gave were worth the same as the pictures I had received and I did not think of it as ‘give and take.’
Because [the other fansites in the union and I] have a [close] relationship in which we would go [to events] together, I didn’t think it was an issue so I feel very sorry about my lack of a conscience. I can’t remove the pictures that are already in the calendars as I have no power over it, but I will take down the other uploaded pictures and previews from my twitter and homepage.
Because of this issue, I’ve heard many rumors about me. I’m just a fan but the stories that are being made about me are making things very hard. I ask of you to please refrain a bit from creating groundless rumors.
Lastly, I would like to apologize once more to the many people about this confusion.”
