Actress and YouTuber Kristel Fulgar has once again found herself in the spotlight after being replaced as the host of the recent Seo In Guk fan meeting held in Manila.

In a heartfelt video, Kristel took to TikTok to address the issue and provide context surrounding her replacement. The video was accompanied by a caption that seemed to signal her desire to bring the matter to a close.

In the video, Kristel shared her perspective on the situation, stating, "I didn't even know it was an audition, dear. I was shocked. I shouldn't even be talking about this matter because I'm actually okay. It's my friends who are more affected by this, and they're pushing me to talk. But, you know, I'm not good at talking, right?"

Kristel went on to explain her side of the story, revealing that she had initially been surprised when offered the hosting role. She recounted her excitement upon learning about the fan meeting and her desire to secure a VVIP ticket to be close to Seo In Guk's performance. Despite her lack of hosting experience, the organizers saw potential in her and convinced her to take on the role.

She acknowledged the challenges she faced as a first-time host and her efforts to seek advice from the SeoIn Guk fan club administrators. According to her, they were supportive and saw her as a representation of their community on stage. This encouragement ultimately led Kristel to accept the hosting role.

Kristel further addressed the criticism she received after her replacement. Some claimed she didn't give her best effort, but she explained that she had given her all during rehearsals. She shared that she woke up at 5 AM and underwent multiple rehearsals, but no one communicated that her energy was lacking.

It wasn't until the third rehearsal that she was told she would be replaced. Despite the Filipino director's resistance, the Korean director insisted on the change.

In light of the situation, Kristel chose not to cause any trouble, considering the interpreter's stress and the potential for misunderstandings. She emphasized that her statement was a rare public announcement in her 20-year entertainment career, driven by her desire for the show's success rather than personal gain.

Addressing the issue of a second chance, Kristel clarified that she didn't ask for one and easily accepted the decision. Hosting wasn't her forte, and she understood that. She also shared a personal interaction with Seo In Guk, where he recognized her from a previous YouTube interview, easing her concerns.

Kristel also reassured her supporters that she was okay and urged everyone to move on from the issue. Despite the challenges and criticisms, she maintained her positivity and commitment to supporting Seo In Guk and his fans.
