The Ancestral Shadows of Colonial Korea Ahn Ha young's agency, Bistus Entertainment, has apologized for denying allegations that her great grandfather, Ahn Sang ho, was involved with the Daejeong Friendship Association, a pro Japanese organization established during Japan's colonial occupation of Korea.
This controversy highlights the ongoing struggle to reconcile Korea's painful past with its present.
The incident began when Ahn discussed her family background on a Korean variety show, mentioning four generations of doctors in her family.
