Jisun on the Idol School's vote rigging scandal: "I reached 1st place on Idol School, but not even a year and a half into our activities, the manipulation controversy broke out. At that time, I really thought I had worked hard to get 1st place but that wasn't the case. I always have this need to do things honorably but the position I was in was not honorable... it wasn't honorable to myself. And when they said there was some rigging and interference involved, I was about 22 at the time, and I was just so confused."

Jisun on her silence during the situation: "If you ask for my honest opinion, the fault really lies with the bad people. No matter what I say, articles kept coming out connecting me with the other contestants from the show. That only caused more harm, which is why I couldn't say anything much. It's a really awkward and tricky situation."
