Kim Ji Woong's personal statement acknowledges the controversy and apologizes to fans for the worry and distress caused by the incident.

While the agency had previously denied the allegations, Kim Ji Woong's apology takes a different stance, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to address the issue and promising to do his best to make fans happy.

It's noteworthy that the agency's statement mentioned a forensic analysis, but Kim Ji Woong's personal apology doesn't directly address the analysis or its results.

Instead, he focuses on acknowledging the impact of the controversy on fans and expressing his commitment to making amends.

Read his statement below:

"You must have waited a long time. My heart was heavy all the while.
To our Ze_Rose who stood by my side unconditionally, I'm sorry for making you worry.
When I thought about how this incident wasn't something I had to bear on my own, but something that must have also affected Ze_Rose and caused you distress, my heart did not feel comfortable. 
For some, it might feel too late, but for me, I am thankful for the opportunity to address the issue even now.
As always, I will do my best right by your side so that Ze_Rose can smile and be happy.
Ze_Rose, thank you and I love you."

Actor Um Ki Joon is officially tying the knot today, December 22!

SunTree Entertainment, his agency, announced that the wedding will take place privately at a hotel in Seoul. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the ceremony will be an intimate gathering of family and close friends.

Back in May, Um Ki Joon opened up about his engagement in a heartfelt handwritten letter. He wrote, “I always thought marriage wasn’t in the cards for me. But then I met someone warm and thoughtful, and we decided to start a new chapter in life together.”

He also expressed his gratitude to fans, promising, “I’ll never forget the love and support you’ve given me. I’ll keep working hard to repay it.”

With this wedding, Um Ki Joon becomes the last member of the celebrity friend group "UmYuMinBeob" to get married. The group includes actors Yoo Jun Sang, Min Young Ki, and Kim Beop Rae, who are all known for their close bond.

Actor Yoon Jong Hoon, who admires Um Ki Joon, recently hinted at the wedding during an episode of MBC's The Manager. He said, “A senior I respect is getting married soon. I’m planning to give the biggest congratulatory gift of my life as a token of appreciation.”

Although his marital status is changing, Um Ki Joon’s career isn’t slowing down. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the 25th-anniversary production of the musical Werther, which premieres on January 17.

Congratulations to Uhm Ki Joon and his new chapter of life!
