Wednesday night's outing of the two drew vociferous attacks from online commenters who felt it was inappropriate in coronavirus times.

"I got carried away and wasn't thinking properly", Lee said. And Lim Yoona added, "I apologize for acting so rashly".

Lee debuted as a member of the girl group Fin.K.L in 1998 before going solo and has remained a popular TV celebrity thanks to her straightforwardness and girl-next-door image. She recently made headlines when she performed on a variety show with comedian Yoo Jae-suk and singer Rain.
