"Hello, this is Kim Jung Hyun.
The drama 'Time' is my first project as a male lead, so it has a special meaning for me. But I really disappointed the director, writer, cast, and staff. I'm sorry. I have ruined the memories of the press conference for 'Time'. My actions at that time even myself would not approve of it. I deeply regret my actions in the past.
I have chosen to let my personal life interfere with my professional life. I don't hold onto my accountability as an actor or main character. I'm sorry without any reason. My whole process of leaving the drama 'TIme' in the middle of a series and my actions at the press conference were wrong. I sincerely apologize to all the staff who had to go through such a difficult time and to actress Seohyun who was hurt, all because of my actions.
I believe I should personally apologize to them, to everyone I have caused harm, even if it takes time. I am morally sorry for my label, O& Entertainment, and Culture Depot whose names appear disrespectfully. And I am very sorry to my fans who have supported and waited for me.
I also ask everyone concerned for an apology. I have time to reflect on my ambiguity and wrongdoing while writing this letter. If I get another chance, I won't take it all for granted and become an actor who takes care of himself both mentally and physically. I'm sorry." (www.onkpop.com)
