Posted by yckim124766 pts Tuesday, March 12, 2019

Jung Joon Young provided an official apology on the hidden camera controversy. 

On March 13 KST, MAKEUS Entertainment revealed the official apology by Jung Joon Young and announced they will be sharing their official statement tomorrow. 

Jung Joon Young's apology reads as follows:


"I am writing to you with embarrassment and a guilty conscience. 

I, Jung Joon Young, arrived back in Korea on March 12 and realized the seriousness of the situation. It's already too late but I want to deliver an apology to the people who have given me attention and another chance. 

I admit to all of my sins that have been reported. I have filmed women without consent and have distributed in social media chat rooms, and I've felt no guilt while doing so. 


As a public figure, it was a very careless act worthy of criticism. 


I kneel on my knees and want to apology to the women in the videos who've faced the disgusting truth through this case and feel anger beyond disappointment and shock.


I will leave all the programs I was on and will halt entertainment promotions. I will not take time of reflection but will let go of everything as a public figure, and look back at my unethical, unlawful acts which are considered a crime for the rest of my life. 


Out of all, I want to apologize to the women who were harmed by my acts, to those who went beyond disappointment and felt anger, and to those who made me a public figure and cared for me. 


I will properly participate in the investigation which is set to start on the morning of the 14th with all honesty. I will take all the punishment for my crime. 


I once again deeply apologize. I am sorry."

    Be fair! Catch all the others too!! Compensate victims. Dont end with just one or two in the group.

    Apology is a start but not the end!

    Well, it's over now. For him, and the others. I'm pretty sure he'll release the names when talking to the police.
