Actor Kim Sung Cheol has admitted his mistake and issued an apology.

Recently, Kim Sung Cheol became embroiled in controversy after participating in a vote on an SNS account related to girl group members. The post included a video of a girl group performance, with a slow-motion effect that provocatively exposed the female artist's body.

We have already delivered an apology through the artists' agencies. We deeply regret and apologize for the situation. We are truly sorry for causing concern, and we will be much more cautious in our future social media activities to ensure that such mistakes do not happen again."
