Kim Jung-hyun Apologizes for Past Behavior Seo-hyun Shares Reflective Message



While actor Kim Jung-hyun apologized for controversy over his past attitude, Seo-hyun expressed his meaningful feelings.

On the 12th, Seo-hyun said on the fan communication platform that `The last winner is a good man. Let's wrap up the day worthwhile by reflecting on these words again today. We are always grateful and love each other." Only one day after Kim Jung-hyun apologized for the controversy over the past in the '2024 KBS Acting Awards', which aired on the 11th.

On this day, Kim took the podium after winning the top prize for KBS 2TV drama `The Iron Family" and `Actually, until a few years ago, I thought I would never act again. There were many reasons and I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I'm so grateful to be able to stand here. It's a fair thing to do to receive an award here and thank you, but I personally don't think true gratitude can be achieved without reflecting on the past", referring to controversy over past attitudes.




He then began acting and once hurt and frowned upon many people with very bad and should not be done. I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize," he said, bowing 90 degrees. Then "I don't think it's the end of an apology." Of course, I wouldn't even ask for forgiveness. But I thought it was a process that I had to do to continue my life," he repeatedly reflected.

However, the public's eyes were cold. It was pointed out that making an apology in public, not even a personal apology, was unilateral and violent to Seohyun.

Netizens left critical comments, such as `Apologies in public after six years'``````````````````````.




Earlier in 2018, Kim Jung-hyun was embroiled in an attitude controversy at the MBC drama 'Time' production presentation with Seo-hyun.

Kim Jung-hyun, who remained expressionless throughout the production presentation, was embroiled in controversy over his attitude as he openly refused to cross his arms in front of reporters during photo time. He also dropped out of the drama for health reasons, causing inconvenience to his work.

In particular, the drama staff said at the time that `Seohyun had a very hard time at the time of filming and shed a lot of tears.' In particular, one of the staff members expressed discomfort whenever he had a sense of love. Once, I wiped my hands roughly with wet wipes as soon as the smoke was over after Seo-hyun's touch, and Seo-hyun burst into tears on the set when she saw it."




Later in 2021, a media outlet raised suspicions that Kim Jung-hyun's behavior was due to the gaslighting of actor Seo Ye-ji, who was dating at the time, and the controversy grew. At that time, Seo Ye-ji reportedly instructed Kim Jung-hyun to exclude the scenes of touch and romance when acting and asked him to act hard.
