Voice actor and broadcaster Seo Yu-ri shared her thoughts after deciding to leave the controversial Excel broadcast. She is receiving a lot of support for her determination to move forward without being hurt by people's words and thoughts in their own ways.
On the 21st, Seo Yu-ri posted on her social media story, “I ultimately decided to leave the Excel broadcast, which had been controversial, on my own accord. Further comments could cause unnecessary harm to others, so I will conclude this here. I will continue my activities in another way. Thank you.”
Previously, Seo Yu-ri appeared on a channel known as the so-called 'Excel broadcast' on an internet broadcasting platform. The 'Excel broadcast' encourages viewers to compete in sponsorship by showing the ranking of sponsorship amounts for each participating broadcaster, resembling an Excel document, through suggestive acts like dancing or undressing.
As Seo Yu-ri, who is active as a voice actor and broadcaster, appeared on the 'Excel broadcast', backlash followed. Seo said, “I do not think that doing what is referred to as Excel in internet broadcasting is something to be proud of. But that does not mean there is a reason to ridicule or mock anyone carelessly. I am swallowing my feelings of injustice and fulfilling my responsibilities more sincerely than anyone else. I am handling my share quietly without making excuses. I hope you think for a moment about how a casually thrown word or a lighthearted sentence can ruin someone's day or feelings. I am holding on to fulfill my share today as well. Please watch over me with a little warmth.”
However, the controversy continued, and Seo Yu-ri ultimately decided to leave the 'Excel broadcast' after about 20 days. After announcing her departure from the 'Excel broadcast', Seo conveyed her thoughts, saying, “People will think and speak in their own ways anyway. But don’t worry, I will not be hurt. I will carry only the feelings of everyone who believes in and supports me. I sincerely thank you.”
Meanwhile, Seo Yu-ri married PD Choi Byeong-gil in 2019 but faced a divorce in March of last year.
