배우 클라라가 자신을 둘러싼 거짓말 논란에 대해 공식 사과했다.
클라라는 11일 오전 트위터에 “클라라입니다. 오늘도 이제서야 스케줄이 끝났네요. 그동안 제가 너무 많은 생각을 글로 남겼네요. 이제 글은 그만 쓰고 마음공부하고 연기 공부하는데 전념하겠습니다”고 글을 남겼다.
이어 “저로 인해 불편하셨던 분께 진심으로 죄송합니다. 응원해주신 분들께도 정말 감사드립니다”라고 사과와 고마움의 뜻을 전했다.
최근 클라라는 방송 중 내뱉은 과거와 현재 발언이 앞뒤가 맞지 않는다는 이유로 거짓말 논란에 휩싸였다. 클라라는 이와 관련 10일 오후 자신의 페이스북에 장문의 글을 남기며 억울한 심경을 드러냈다. 클라라는 이 글에서 “본명이 Clara Lee이고, 스위스에서 나고, 미국에서 배우고, 국적이 영국이라서 여러분 말씀대로 한국 정서를 잘 모르는 것 같다. 그건 앞으로 열심히 열심히 배우고 또 고쳐 가겠다”고 말했다.
그러면서 클라라는 “나를 싫어하실 수 있다. 악플달고 욕도 할 수 있다고 생각한다. 하지만, 다르다고 해서 틀렸다고 하지는 말아달라”고 당부하기도 했다.
그러나 누리꾼들은 “클라라 공식 사과, 외국에서 살았다고 해도 상식적으로 이해되지 않으니 하는 말이다”, “클라라 공식 사과, 예능에서 웃기려고 거짓말 해도 되면, 예능프로들 참 볼 만 하겠네요”, “클라라 공식 사과, 좋게 보려고 해도 궁색한 변명 밖에 안 되는 듯”이라며 싸늘한 반응을 보였다.

After series of gaffes, Clara swears off SNS
South Korean actress Clara announced Wednesday that she will no longer be posting comments on social networking services after her remarks became a target of fierce criticism.
“I’ve wrote too much about my personal feelings these days. I will stop posting on SNS and focus on acting from now on,” the 27-year-old actress said on her Twitter account.
Clara, who recently rose to stardom after years under the radar, found herself in hot water after netizens accused her off lying on television.
In one particular episode, she said on a local TV program that she didn’t like eating chicken and beer, and then later on another program contradicted herself by saying “I am a chicken and beer lover.”
On Tuesday, she tried to justify her comments via her Facebook page.
“I appeared on the program for fun. I wasn’t appearing on a documentary,” she said. “I was born in Switzerland, raised in the United States with British citizenship, so I don’t know much about Korean ways of thinking.”
Contrary to appeasing the public, her comments drew even more disdain.
Clara has closed her Facebook and Twitter accounts. Her agency Martinkyle announced on Wednesday that it would be managing her Facebook fan page.
Clara, whose real name Lee Seong-min, became an online overnight sensation after throwing a ceremonial first pitch in a professional baseball game dressed in form-fitting leggings in May. She is hailed as an up-and-coming star and sex symbol.
