Expressing remorse, Park Kyung stated, "I deeply regret my immature behavior during adolescence and apologize to those who were hurt by me. I understand that the wounds caused cannot be erased."

Previously known for his intellect on the tvN show 'Problematic Men', Park Kyung's comeback after 4 years will be a test to regain public trust and support.
