[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actress Jang Mi-in-ae described the government's livelihood support fund policy as "annoying, really."
On the 30th, Jang Mi-in-ae posted on her Instagram, "Where is the money in our country? Where did they give away our land? Is this a government that saves its people?" She added, "What meaning does 1 million won have? When I see the news, I get angry. In disasters and calamities, that money is important."
In response to continued criticism from netizens, Jang Mi-in-ae said, "'In' (仁) meaning kindness is not what I have, but 'In' (忍) meaning endurance. I also have freedom of speech in Hell Joseon." She continued, "As a citizen, I will now live enjoying human rights. I will take care of my own life. Even if now is harder than during the IMF crisis, I will endure, overcome, and live by any means."
She also stated, "When everyone said 'yes,' I yielded and said 'no.' What is not right is not right. If it's not, then it's not. Please live a life with conviction. Now, I will do whatever it takes," along with posting a photo.
In the released photo, Jang Mi-in-ae was seen walking the streets without a mask. When a netizen pointed out, "Please follow the basics," Jang Mi-in-ae replied with a curse, "That’s an old photo, you XX."
When the netizen criticized her for the curse, Jang Mi-in-ae responded again, "I did it because it was worth it. Do you think celebrities don’t curse? Am I not human?"
Earlier, on the 2nd, Jang Mi-in-ae posted on her Instagram, "The people don’t have masks, but the high-ups have masks. Amazing," sharing an article about the Blue House’s official apology regarding the mask shortage.
Also, in June 2017, when rumors of a relationship with basketball player Heo Woong, son of former coach Heo Jae, surfaced, she posted a capture of an article about the Blue House preemptively revealing the drunk driving incident of Cho Dae-yeop, nominee for Minister of Employment and Labor, and the disguised residence registration of Song Young-moo, nominee for Minister of National Defense, saying, "What are you trying to block on Sunday? Please stop using me. I have not lived wrongly."
At that time, when netizens continued to criticize, she explained, "I am someone who hopes the current government will resolve my grievances."
Jang Mi-in-ae debuted in 2003 with the MBC sitcom 'Nonstop 4' and appeared in dramas such as 'Soulmate' and 'I Miss You.' In November 2013, she was sentenced to eight months in prison with two years probation for habitual use of propofol, classified as a psychotropic drug.
