Kim Jung Hyun Releases An Apology Letter Following The Controversies He Faced

In light of the multiple issues he was caught in, Mr. Queen's Kim Jung Hyun has written an apology letter.

The actor led the K-drama Time in 2018 with Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun and fans were quick to notice his unusual behavior during the show's press conference. It was reported that he lacked emotions in the event, and he explained that he wanted to "stay in character" as the son of a chaebol (conglomerate family). However, the audience was not convinced and they criticized Kim Jung Hyun's actions, saying that it was "inappropriate."

Last week, the actor was rumored to be dating his Crash Landing On You co-star Seo Ji Hye but their respective agencies have denied their romantic relationship. Seo Ji Hye's entertainment label, Culture Depot, further added that Kim Jung Hyun is in talks to join the agency after his exclusive contact with O& Entertainment expires next month. In contrast, reports stated that O& Entertainment disagrees with this: The actor's contract will not end yet by May because his 11-month hiatus after he left the drama Time is not part of the contract's duration.

Come April 12, South Korean news group Dispatch disclosed a text conversation between Kim Jung Hyun and his alleged ex-girlfriend Seo Ye Ji. The report raised that the actress asked him to refrain from having romantic scenes and physical contact with his co-star. Yesterday, Seo Ye Ji's agency, GOLDMEDALIST Co., has addressed the manipulation issues and said: "It is not shown in the conversations that were revealed, but Kim Jung Hyun also made requests to Seo Ye Ji, who was filming a different drama, to not film kiss scenes. So Seo Ye Ji also told him, 'Then you shouldn’t do it either,' among conversations of lovers showing jealousy about each other’s physical contact with others."

Today, Kim Jung Hyun has released his handwritten letter of apology and tackled the issues mentioned. Here's the full translation by Soompi:

"Hello. This is Kim Jung Hyun.

The drama Time was the first work I played a leading role in as an actor, so it was also a very meaningful project to me. But I brought deep disappointment and pain upon the director, screenwriter, fellow actors, and staff. I apologize.

My memories of the Time press conference remain in my head like shards. Even I cannot forgive my attitude at the time. I have so much regret that I wish I could turn back time.

I brought the shameful incident upon myself due to personal issues. I was not able to fulfill my responsibility as the drama’s protagonist and an actor. I apologize without making any excuses.

The process in which I dropped out of the drama Time and the behavior I showed at the press conference were all wrong. I sincerely apologize to actress Seohyun who was hurt because of it as well as all other related personnel who worked hard at the time.

I believe I should pay a visit to each of the Time staff members and those who were hurt by me and personally apologize to them. Even if it takes a long time, I will go to the director and screenwriter of Time the actors, and all of the staff members who worked [on Time] and ask for forgiveness.

I apologize to my agency O& Entertainment as morally right, and I also apologize to Culture Depot for causing them to be mentioned in a disgraceful way. I also genuinely apologize to my fans who always believed in me, trusted me, and waited for me.

I bow my head in apology to everyone I caused discomfort to. As I was writing this letter, I was able to reflect on my mistakes and wrong behavior. If I am given the opportunity, I will take nothing for granted and work hard to become a healthy actor who reflects on and manages himself. I am sorry."
