[Literal Translation] Official position of management office "SM Entertainment" regarding the summoning of the prosecution of #BoA. Below, Literal Translation. ..



I would like to say our position regarding the content related to the affiliated artist BoA reported today.



This was caused by a mistake made by a staff member of our overseas branch office who had no knowledge of trade, customs clearance, etc. First of all, we sincerely apologize for causing concern not only to our fans but also to many people. I would like to say that there is no such thing.



It is true that employees of overseas branch offices delivered (shipped) medicines by mail without formal import customs clearance, but it was not an illegal attempt to bring them in, but a mistake due to ignorance.



Therefore, I would like to give you a detailed background.



BoA took the sleeping pills prescribed by her doctor after a recent medical examination revealed that she needed enough sleep due to a decrease in growth hormone.



However, side effects such as digestive injuries such as dizziness and vomiting have been severe, and I have talked with the relevant staff about such a bad situation.



In addition, the staff who lived with him during his activities in Japan were worried about the health of BoA, and when he entered the United States in the past, he went back and forth between Japan and the United States in a short period of time due to sleep disorders caused by maladaptation. Recalling that there were no side effects on the drug prescribed in Japan, it is possible to receive an agent at the current time, so after receiving confirmation at the local (Japan) hospital, follow the normal procedure for the drug. Was received.
