Actor Lee Min-jung apologized for promoting a luxury bag in front of the statue of Jesus, which became controversial.

Lee recently posted a photo taken in Venice, Italy, on her account. Lee Min-jung recently headed to Venice together for Lee Byung-hun's support in the film 『I Can't Help It』, which was invited to the competition section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival. Lee Min-jung showed off her friendship by posting a photo taken by Son Ye-jin, another lead actor and best friend.

But the place where the picture was taken became a problem. It became controversial that he took a picture in front of the statue of Jesus in a pose that seemed to emphasize a luxury bag. Some say "disrespectful", "Why do you have to promote your bag in front of the statue of Jesus?" "It's blasphemy." He strongly criticized Lee Min-jung with a reaction.




In response, Lee Min-jung left an explanation. Lee Min-jeong said on the 4th that "This is not a cathedral, but an event venue and restaurant used in the hotel by reviving the walls that were hundreds of years ago. I'm a Christian and not a Catholic, but I'm sorry if I made it uncomfortable to go up to the altar and take a picture. I'll look at it more carefully from now on," he bowed his head.

Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung is married to actor Lee Byung-hun and has one son and one daughter.
