There are reactions such as &#8220;It&#8217;s a joint system&#8221; and &#8220;What does the pro-Japanese of my great-grandfather have to do with Ha-young?&#8221; but this is a story that was focused on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/news-p.v1.20260817.4908280ee1424ebeb0ba15dd2ad55033_P1.png\" orgwidth=\"640\" orgheight=\"927\" alt=\"Amid controversy over actress Ha-young's alleged &quot;pro-Japanese behavior&quot; several times, an incumbent lawyer expressed his thoughts on it. \/ Photo = Reporter Chun Jung-hwan\"\/>                      \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300                Amid controversy over actress Ha-young&#8217;s alleged &#8220;pro-Japanese behavior&#8221; several times, an incumbent lawyer expressed his thoughts on it. \/ Photo = Reporter Chun Jung-hwan                  <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/news-p.v1.20260817.a3dab4b9ddd74932a71a0a835b64d740_P1.jpg\" orgwidth=\"640\" orgheight=\"715\" alt=\"\uc0ac\uc9c4\uc124\uba85\"\/>                      \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300                    <\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">In response to the response that parents&#8217; education was important, referring to Ha-young&#8217;s age, lawyer Lee Ji-hoon pointed out, &#8220;I&#8217;m too old to say that it could be because I&#8217;m young.&#8221; Ha-young was born in 1993 and is 33 years old. Lawyer Lee Ji-hoon, who defined the &#8220;pro-Japanese group family&#8221; as a &#8220;self-taxation&#8221; with his own pride, not as a &#8220;fourth-generation doctor&#8217;s statement,&#8221; said, &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t he usually brag about me? If you want to brag, you usually brag about me. He pointed out, &#8220;My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are also doctors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">Lawyer Lee Ji-hoon, who looked back on Ha-young&#8217;s controversy step by step, said, &#8220;Shouldn&#8217;t we doubt that doctors can be pro-Japanese in the Japanese colonial era. That&#8217;s what we know when we get formal education. The background of the times is a doctor in Hanyang, but you have to doubt yourself just by hearing that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is why I expressed it as &#8216;knowledge&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p refid=\"8\">&#8220;It&#8217;s not two, it&#8217;s four. It goes back to the Korean War and goes back to the Japanese colonial period against the era of military dictatorship. I think I should be questioned before bragging about being the &#8220;Gojong&#8217;s doctor,&#8221; and added, &#8220;Ha Young had to look for her great-grandfather if she respected him. There is also a thesis on his great-grandfather, and if he was so proud, he had to read it. This is something I don&#8217;t even love,&#8221; he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"9\">Lawyer Lee Ji-hoon, who examined various issues after the pro-Japanese controversy of Ha-young&#8217;s great-grandfather, finally said, &#8220;Even if your great-grandfather is a pro-Japanese traitor, your descendants can make money and be celebrities, but you shouldn&#8217;t do it this way.&#8221; What&#8217;s unfortunate is that Ha-young was not properly educated. I didn&#8217;t even know the background of ignorance, ignorance, and the times,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"10\">At the same time, &#8220;You may not know what my great-grandfather did. But if you know the background of the times, you&#8217;re like, &#8216;Huh? &#8220;It&#8217;s very natural to suspect that this is weird,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m ignorant, ignorant, and arrogant. If you don&#8217;t know, you&#8217;re supposed to stay still, but you&#8217;re talking about it. It&#8217;s unfortunate,&#8221; he stressed.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"11\">Ha-young recently made headlines when she boasted that her family is a family of doctors who have been around for four generations in a variety show to promote Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Love Like Tttak&#8221; and that her great-grandfather opened a Western clinic in Hanyang for the first time after studying medicine in Japan and treated Emperor Gojong.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"12\">However, it was later revealed that Ha-young&#8217;s great-grandfather was the late Ahn Sang-ho, who was embroiled in controversy over his pro-Japanese activities, and first said, &#8220;It is right that Ahn Sang-ho is a great-grandfather.&#8221; The agency, which responded with &#8220;rumors are groundless,&#8221; changed its attitude in a day as the controversy grew and acknowledged the allegations of pro-Japanese by its great-grandfather. Since then, he posted an apology on his SNS on the 13th, saying, &#8220;I bow down and apologize for causing great disappointment and hurt by things related to my great-grandfather,&#8221; but public opinion remains cold.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"13\">[Golden Bitna MK Sports Reporter]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amid controversy over actress Ha-young&#8217;s alleged &#8220;pro-Japanese behavior&#8221; several times, an incumbent lawyer expressed his thoughts on it.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[48435,21587,46127,8,17,21592],"class_list":["post-75263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-and-grandfather","tag-father","tag-grandfather","tag-japan","tag-japanese","tag-son"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
