Song Jia posted a handwritten apology on her Instagram on the 17th, saying, “First, I sincerely apologize to everyone who was disappointed and hurt because of me. He speaks frankly regarding the current controversy regarding fake news of luxury brands. Some of the comments regarding some of the products I wore on social media and ‘Solo Hell’ are true.
it’s fake I’m really sorry.” He bowed his head.

As a person with a dream of launching a brand, I will seriously recognize the controversy and reflect deeply. We will be more vigilant and careful to prevent this from happening in the future.”
He added, “All content with exposed fakes has been deleted. I also apologize to the brand side who was harmed because of me. In the future, I will live with more responsibility.”
Recently, on YouTube and various online communities, suspicions have been raised that the accessories and clothes that Song Ji-ah has worn are fakes, not luxury goods.

Photo ㅣ YouTube ‘Taldeok Camp’ broadcast screenIt was reported that the Van Cleef Eiffel necklace worn by Song Ji-ah in ‘Solo Hell’, Dior tank top, and Chanel crop tee were presumed to be fakes. The necklace worn by Song Ji-ah was different from Van Cleef & Arpels’ genuine necklace design of 5.7 million won, and the Chanel Crop Tee posted on Instagram was a discontinued product and it was difficult to obtain a new one unless it was purchased in the 1990s. In addition, the pink tube top with the Christian Dior logo that Song Ji-ah wore in ‘Solo Hell’ is also known as a design that has never been officially released by Dior.
Jia Song is a star who has been attracting attention as a beauty creator on social media and YouTube. The YouTube channel ‘Free Zia’, which had 500,000 subscribers, surpassed 1.89 million subscribers following appearing in ‘Solo Hell’, and is receiving great attention at home and abroad. Instagram followers also surpassed 5.46 million.
Song Jia’s fake wear is wrong in itself, but there is a bigger problem in that she has focused on high-end marketing through luxury products while highlighting the image of a gold spoon. Song Jia is even more controversial because she has produced and uploaded content videos to authenticate and review luxury purchases on her SNS.
Song Jia has been running a corner called ‘Monthly Freesia’ on her YouTube channel. This is content that introduces and reviews purchased items, but some of the luxury brand products that appeared here were found to be fakes. The videos have since been deleted.
Criticism of deceiving subscribers with false content continues.
Netizens are showing disappointing reactions such as “It would be very disappointing if it was a fake,” “I am very interested in luxury goods, so I would have known that it was a fake, but it would be surprising if I wore it confidently” and “This is a deception for subscribers.”
Prior to the controversy over fakes, Song Jia was also embroiled in controversy over the commercialization of sex for school uniform fashion. On the 13th, while visiting the recording site of JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’, the school uniform was reformed to be too short and tight, resulting in negative reactions such as “No matter what, school uniforms are clothes that students wear, so wear them appropriately.”
Although he is a public figure, he boasted of popularity and ripple power comparable to that of celebrities, and stood at the center of the topic, but his position is in danger of being shaken by repeated suspicions. It seems that Song Jia’s work has grown too large to close this case with just an apology, while her image has already been significantly damaged. Kim Hyun-joong, who became a couple with Song Ji-ah in ‘Solo Hell’, ‘unfollowed’.
The controversy over Song Jia’s fake product seems to be sparking even the broadcasters. Song Jia has now finished recording for JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’ and MBC’s ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’, and is regarding to air. In ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’, actress Kang Ye-won was known to appear as the manager and became a hot topic. Hot star Song Jia was cast and recorded, but controversy continues and interest in whether or not to broadcast is gathering.
