[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Actor Yoo Ah-in, who made headlines by promising to quit smoking with an "underwear stripping pledge," announced that he will "extend the smoking cessation period to lifelong after 2021."
On the morning of the 25th, Yoo Ah-in said through his SNS, "This morning's smoking cessation declaration? was just me throwing out a bait to solidify my determination to quit smoking for the remaining 8 days of 2020."
He continued, "However, due to your explosive support and media coverage, I was caught, or rather encouraged, and with a heavy heart, I have decided to extend the smoking cessation period to lifelong after 2021," adding, "I deeply thank you for your excessive misunderstandings and expectations mistaking 2020 for 2021, and I will hide well and become healthier."
He then added, "I hope you all succeed in quitting smoking too!" which brought smiles.
Previously, on the 24th, Yoo Ah-in caused a stir by making a "shocking smoking cessation declaration" on his SNS.
He uploaded photos holding a cigarette while wearing only underwear, writing, "I'm quitting smoking. Cough cough. Bye-bye cigarette."
He also said, "In 2021, I will quit smoking, exercise harder, and become healthier. I will take good care of myself healthily," and made a shocking pledge, "If anyone witnesses me smoking (at the beginning of the year), please report here. My underwear will come down."
