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."
