What did Harisu say about the reporter?

Harisu revealed on the YouTube channel 'Studio830,' which released the video on the 10th, that a reporter at her past marriage announcement press conference asked her about her sex life with her husband. She said the question was inappropriate even between close friends, and that she was angry that it came up in a press setting. She also said she firmly told the reporter to get a grip.

Why are her past experiences getting attention?

Harisu revealed in the web variety show 'Pajamas Party' last September that after she disclosed being transgender, she received unfair demands. She said people asked her to have sex to 'check whether she is a woman' and asked her to take off her clothes. According to her, she gave up roles and missed out on many contracts because of these demands.

Who is Harisu?

Harisu debuted in 2001 through a cosmetics advertisement and has since worked as a singer, actress, and TV personality. She married singer Mikey Jung in 2007 and divorced by mutual agreement in 2017. In August, she said on a YouTube broadcast that she and her ex-husband still support each other, but she avoids contact out of consideration for his new family. She also said she currently has no plans to remarry.
