K-Pop Star Yuri Criticized For ‘Reckless’ Behavior In Jeju Island, May Face Penalty
Despite causing controversy on social media for her behavior on Jeju Island, Yuri continues to be in the spotlight. The Korean media has also emphasized the potential consequences for the idol, including a possible penalty fine.
Despite knowing that the “FOREVER 1″singer is currently on a trip to Jeju Island, SONEs have been kept up-to-date with her journey through regular updates of clips and photos. However, a recent post from Yuri has caused quite a stir among online communities.
On July 24, Sports Chosun, a Korean news outlet, published a report that included now-deleted photos of Yuri standing and lying down on a pile of rocks. It was later discovered that the rocks were actually tetrapods, concrete structures used to break up strong waves along the shore.

The media outlet emphasized the potential for casualties and the high likelihood of becoming trapped under the concrete structure. In the event of an unfortunate incident, it would be challenging to climb out and escape from the debris.
According to reliable sources, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries in Korea enforces a fine of approximately ₩1 million won (KRW), which is equal to $721 dollars (USD).
In an online forum for the community, people expressed their disapproval of Yuri’s actions and commented on the dangerous consequences they could have had. See their responses below:
“There are a lot of fishermen who go up to the shore, but every year there is an accident and if you slip, it is a nether road. My mother is a sea person, so I have never climbed up there since I was a child.”
“It’s really dangerous over there, but surprisingly, there are so many people who don’t know about it, and if you do something wrong, you can’t get out and die.”
“Your life is at stake more than anything else, so you have to be careful.”
“That’s a very dangerous thing to do.”
“If you fall from there, you won’t be able to be rescued, and you will fall to a place where it is difficult to find it, but it’s really dangerous.”
“Ignorance is ignorance, but even if you know it’s dangerous to go there, it’s more ignorant than really ignorant to put it on display.”
“When public figures post something like this, fans may follow these dangerous actions.”
“You just have to apologize and get off, you just need to be aware if you don’t know.”
“Oh, I got goosebumps when I saw the picture.”
