YouTuber Lalal has bowed her head in apology, saying she is "truly remorseful" after acknowledging she smoked two packs of cigarettes a day before her pregnancy.

On Saturday, Lalal posted a video titled "Kokkiri Hama's Clarification Video" on her YouTube channel.

In the video, Lalal wore a solemn expression as she said, "There have been a lot of articles about this," adding that she had turned on the camera because she had something to say. She then acknowledged her past remarks about smoking two packs of e-cigarettes a day before her pregnancy, saying, "It's true. I'm sorry."

Her close friend Pungja, who was sitting beside her, jumped in as if she had been waiting for the moment. "It's true that Yura smoked two packs — I saw it myself," she said, instantly sending the room into laughter.

"I'm living a completely different life now," Lalal said. "I'm truly remorseful."

Pungja said Lalal had quit both drinking and smoking after marriage. "She quit cigarettes cold turkey," she said.

The remarks drew attention after Lalal appeared on Pungja's YouTube channel and said she had smoked two packs of e-cigarettes a day right up until she became pregnant.

Meanwhile, Lalal married a non-celebrity man 11 years her senior in 2024 and gave birth to a daughter the same year. She currently serves as a host on KBS2's "Superman Returns."
