Actress Moon Geun-young talked about the controversy over her forcing fans to pay her tribute in an interview Monday.

Previously, on her Instagram, Moon wrote, “If you are to pay me a tribute, make it grand and right.”

The seemingly misleading comment left by Moon was understood by some of the people as her abusing her celebrity status to the detriment of her fans.

Moon said, “That was my way of showing them my affection. Instagram is the place where I can communicate with my fans.”

Moon also explained that she did not like receiving gifts from fans in the past, but as more and more fans have asked her not to refuse, she eventually decided to let her fans do whatever they want to do.

“I believe it all happened because I maintain a very close relationship with my fans,” said Moon.

Moon has recently appeared in the SBS TV drama “The Village: Achiara’s Secret,” which aired its finale Thursday.
