Speaking with a serious tone, Jung expressed gratitude to the fans and film collaborators while acknowledging the weight of his personal issues.

He further stated:
“I deeply apologize for causing concern and disappointment to those who have supported me. I will take all criticism and bear full responsibility. As a father, I will fulfill my duty to my son until the end.”
Timeline of the Controversy
