Hwang Jung-eum, who was careless, apologized twice

Actress Hwang Jeong-eum repeatedly apologized to a member of the public who misunderstood her as the adulteress of Lee Young-don, who is currently in divorce proceedings, and shot her.

On the 4th, Hwang Jeong-eum said, "I misunderstood an unrelated person as the partner of my husband's affair, copied a post from an ordinary person to my account, and wrote terms that could be insulting." She added, "The person currently suffering is an incident in which I have not even met my husband. “They are unrelated to this and are not adulterous women,” he said.

He continued, "I posted a post with insulting content and wrote content that could be misunderstood. I sincerely apologize for receiving malicious comments and causing great damage to the person concerned and those around them due to speculative content." “Please stop spreading speculative and false information.”

He bowed his head and said, "I will think about correcting the wrong information and taking responsibility for the damage."

Lastly, he said, "There should be a clear distinction between public and private affairs in a space that many people can see, but I made a wrong decision in a confused emotional state and apologized for causing fatigue to the public. We will be careful."

This is a revision of the apology posted by Hwang Jeong-eum earlier. In the previous apology, she said, "There was a misunderstanding in the process of sorting out personal matters. I sincerely apologize for causing harm to the person concerned and those around them by posting a public post. The content has been corrected. "For this reason, I am writing again in this space. I have also directly contacted the person who was harmed to apologize," it said.

As the controversy continued despite posting an apology, it appears that the mistake was clearly explained and more information about responsibility was added to the apology.

Hwang Jung-eum announced her divorce in 2016, eight years after marrying Lee Young-don. At that time, Hwang Jung-eum posted many posts mentioning her husband, Lee Young-don, through social media, indirectly alleging that her husband was having an affair.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jeong-eum posted a photo of a woman with a message implying that she was her husband's incestuous woman, saying, "You ugly girl. Please marry Youngdon. Can't you just divorce me and go to Bangkok?" and then deleted it. However, it turned out to be an incident caused by Hwang Jeong-eum's misunderstanding.
