Choi Jeong-won refutes allegations of infidelity "I cannot tolerate it, I do not cross the line"
On the 7th, Choi Jeong-won posted an image containing a long text on his SNS. Previously, Mr. A claimed that Choi Jeong-won had an affair with his wife B, and released a transcript and a memorandum from Mr. B admitting that he had met Choi Jeong-won.
Mr. A filed a lawsuit for compensation for damages caused by commercial acts. Mr. B wrote the memorandum under the pressure of her husband and claimed that she had suffered domestic violence. Recently, the Seoul Songpa Police Station sent Mr. A to the prosecution on charges of intimidation, violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, insults, and defamation.
Choi Jeong-won said, "I drank coffee for about an hour with my younger brother, whom I was really close to in my 20s, on three occasions between May and June 2022, ate wine and snacks at the high waters of the Han River, and joined a cycling club. I also rode a bike for about an hour because I was interested. The fact that I have never met that younger brother other than those three times is a fact recognized by everyone involved in this matter."
He added, "I wanted to go and ask why he wrote such nonsensical things in the form of a memorandum, but at the same time I was very afraid. I was afraid that going to him or protesting would lead to some secondary mistakes."
Choi Jeong-won said, "This is because my sister and I have not had any additional contact other than the three meetings described above. Looking at the SNS that the younger brother opened recently, I can only guess, 'Oh, this happened.' Relying on the memory of the old days when people came and greeted each other so comfortably, I have already become an icon of stupidity for my stupidity, which I thought was not a big deal. I will say it again," he said.
"My complacency, that I never should have done anything that would be misunderstood, that I was loved by the public at a young age, satisfied with that momentary interest and love, and lived in my own world without spiritual growth. Now that I have this, I look back and reflect on my shortcomings and limitations, and I apologize. However, even though I laughed and was happy to see my younger brother's face, I had no productive jokes, but I have never done anything beyond those stupid actions. Wrong I am well aware that my remaining homework is to take responsibility for what I did not do wrong and to entrust the responsibility to those who tell lies."The full text of Choi Jeong-won's stance is as follows:1. Once again, I am posting with news that is not pleasant to anyone. Even at this moment of writing, I am sorry to the fans who have loved me like family and have been a great source of strength for a long time, and to the many people who have been disappointed by the unsavory news, and I can't help but feel miserable.
2. I drank coffee for about an hour with my younger brother, whom I was really close to in my 20s, on three occasions between May and June 2022, ate wine and snacks at the high waters of the Han River, and joined a cycling club. I also rode a cycle for about an hour because I was interested. It is a fact acknowledged by everyone involved in this matter that I have never met that younger brother other than those three times.
3. Since July of the same year, seeing Mr. A continuously sending text messages filled with unspeakable swear words, I thought there was some misunderstanding, so I tried to explain the previous three situations and have a conversation including an apology. However, Mr. A told me, "My wife has already admitted to having an affair with you." There was also a message saying, "If I apologize to my brother, the person who runs a 20 billion company may take good care of me in the future, and it will be good for you if you get to know me."
4. The fact that I had an affair was a different matter, so I firmly told Mr. A, “I have never done anything like that.” However, based on the memorandum written by my younger brother, he continued to say things I did not know, and later I found out that there were contents in the memorandum that I could not admit at all.
5. I wanted to go and ask him why he wrote such nonsensical things in the form of a memorandum, but at the same time I was so afraid. I was afraid that visiting or protesting would lead to some secondary mistakes. Soon after, I got a call from my younger brother, and even so, if I wrote a memorandum as instructed by Mr. A and said that I was wrong unconditionally, the swearing at my family and the threat to my child would not go away (it's still hard for me to understand, but on the other hand, I even wondered what kind of life my younger brother was leading so he had to do this) I heard such words.
6. After that, the younger brother responded to several interviews with the media, and there was also an interview saying that the memorandum written to her husband, Mr. A, was 'written under compulsion' and that the facts were different from him. Of course, Mr. A also requested correction information, and as a result, he obtained a correction report saying that 'Mr. A claims that the domestic violence part is not true, and that the request for prohibition of access to him has been dismissed'. I understand that there is a part where the police sent Mr. A to the prosecution for prosecution for domestic violence against his wife (special threats, etc.).
7. As I've mentioned before, I'm not sure what happened between them and what's going on. This is because me and my younger brother did not have any additional contact other than the three meetings described above. Looking at the SNS that the younger brother opened recently, I just guessed, 'Oh, this happened.' Relying on the memories of the old days when people came and greeted each other so comfortably, the 'meeting face to face' itself has already become an icon of stupidity for my stupidity, which I thought was not a big deal, and I still have the will to apologize while blaming myself. Again, I say fullness.
8. I lived with a sorry heart, stuck in my head and heart, telling me that I had lost a lot even if I had lost my senses because of the fact that I had been in contact with my younger brother, whom I was close with. However, acquaintances who know me well said, 'Why did you bother to contact and meet someone with a family in a sense other than friendship? When I said, "Why do you bother?", many people who don't know me well also confessed that they had a complacent mind, thinking, "You get angry and reprimand me, but maybe you understand." do. In addition, since the truth will be clearly covered through a lawsuit as to whether I did something that could cause problems in the marital relationship anyway, I expressed my sincere apology for my mistake, but there was also a deep intention that I did not bother to talk about unnecessary things beyond that. does not deny
9. However, enduring one-sided criminal acts such as defamation, teacher of defamation, and insults from Mr. Having made the judgment and determination that he could not be tolerated even if he worked and lived, he inevitably began to proceed with counterclaims against his civil lawsuits and additional criminal charges against numerous criminal acts for which he had accumulated evidence for several months. no see. Mr. A says that his mother was recently diagnosed with cancer and that polyps were discovered during his colonoscopy, all of which are my responsibility. It's just that it's not true no matter what anyone says, that's what I can do.
10. My complacent thoughts, things I never should have done that would be misunderstood, receiving love from the public at a young age, being satisfied with that fleeting attention and love, and living in my own world without spiritual growth, these things Now that I have this, I look back and reflect on my shortcomings and limitations that I regret. However, I never did anything beyond those stupid actions, even though I laughed and was happy to see the face with my younger brother, even if I made jokes that were not productive. I know very well that my remaining homework is to take responsibility for what I did wrong and to hold the person responsible for what I did not do wrong. Stay healthy everyone in the hot summer. Once again, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read it, and I am truly sorry for causing controversy.
