"This is Jo Jae Hyun. The first rumor claimed an actor who is also a theater owner forcibly kissed a young staff member after making her sit on his lap. When these rumors came out, I was planning to explain myself because some parts of the story are different than the truth. Shortly afterwards, I came across another interview that raises other suspicions. I was surprised because I had no memory of it. I had an awful mindset at the time, and I thought it was just slander. A few news articles began making false speculations as well, so I hoped it would all just come to an end. Instead of reflecting on myself, I spent time having shameful and crude thoughts. I'm a monster for trying to avoid the results of my idiotic thoughts and disgusting actions in the past. I confess. I've lived a wrong life. Throughout my 30-year acting career, I've made many mistakes with morally wrong words and actions towards my colleagues, staff members, and juniors. I'm a sinner. I bow my head in apology to the victims who've been greatly hurt. I plan to put everything down. I will no longer think of myself. I won't try to avoid it. I'll put [my career] down. From now on, I'll look back on my life with a remorseful heart towards the victims. I'm very ashamed and sorry."
