Lee Young-ae hosts event, but won't take questions about 'Sewol'

While the whole nation is in mourning for the sunken ship Sewol, Lee Young-ae attended a luxury brand event held in Hong Kong. She announced that she wouldn't be taking questions about Sewol to the local press.

She attended the event on the 25th in Hong Kong. Various celebrities in the Chinese region attended this event and Lee Young-ae represented Korea in a brightly colored Hanbok and the jewels from the luxury brand.

Lee Young-ae's attendance to this event was quite different as everyone else was busy cancelling fan meetings, concerts and TV shows to show grief for the Sewol ferry tragedy.

There were, of course, stars who still carried out their activities in the Chinese region, but they happened to be concerts which were difficult to cancel due to tickets sold and location matters.

However, this luxury brand event was an easy one to cancel if requested. FX Crystal changed her mind about attending the Michael Kors launch event in Shanghai after the ship sank.

According to a Hong Kong media, Lee Young-ae announced beforehand that she wouldn't be answering questions about Sewol. She only answered questions about the drama "My Love from the Star" and "Dae Jang Geum 2".

Lee Young-ae ended her three days of work in Hong Kong by attending another cosmetics brand event that she is modeling for. When she returned, she wore black attire with a yellow ribbon pinned on it.

Meanwhile, Lee Young-ae is said to have been engaged in more than 10 court cases relating to food products and cosmetics businesses.
