[Continued from Literal Translation] The official position announced by the management office "SM Entertainment" regarding the summoning of #BoA to the Korean prosecutor's office. The following is a continuation of Literal Translation. ..



The staff concerned confirmed at the local post office that the drug could be shipped from Japan to South Korea by attaching documents such as the ingredient list, but the drug was successfully prescribed overseas. Even so, I delivered (shipped) the drug to South Korea with the ingredient list attached, without recognizing that it could be a problem in South Korea.



I didn't know about customs clearance, trade, and other practices and procedures, so in order to handle and import medicines, I had to get approval from a government agency, and those who got permission also imported after obtaining prior declaration and permission. Without knowing the fact that you have to do it at all and not aware of the problem, if you attach the ingredient list at the local post office, you will only hear the guidance that the drug can be shipped overseas, and the drug I made a mistake in shipping.



A staff member who recently learned of his mistake after being contacted by an investigative agency has been actively cooperating with the investigative agency to investigate this matter and promises not to make such a mistake again. Did.



In addition, in the process of the investigation, he first talked about the drug to be communicated to BoA, explained the facts in good faith with proof materials, etc., and BoA who was to be investigated by this also went to the investigation in good faith. I would like to say that.



We plan to strengthen multifaceted education for all staff to prevent this from happening again.



BoA also feels sorry for the inconvenience caused to many people by this time. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
