Musical actor Park Jun-hwi clarified the infidelity allegations with a handwritten letter.

On the 13th, Park Jun-hwi posted a lengthy handwritten message on his social media, stating, "I deeply apologize for having disappointed many people following the emergence of the controversy, and for not communicating my position right away."

He said, "Since June 5, I have been reading each article and online content about me, as well as the related comments, and I realize that my reckless judgment and actions have caused irreparable pain and disappointment to my fiancée and family. I sincerely apologize for causing pain to my loved ones."

He added, "I deeply and sincerely apologize for causing harm and concern to my fellow actor Woojin, the fans who trusted and supported me, and all the people involved in the performance, as well as for making everyone who sees this article feel uncomfortable."

He explained, "Since April, I had been preparing for a musical performance and often had comfortable dinners with colleagues. In May, I also had a late dinner at home with fellow actors. On June 4, after the performance, a natural conversation about dining arose with actor Woojin, and similar to our previous gathering, I decided we would have a simple meal at my house and talk before parting ways."

He continued, "I did not inform my fiancée in advance about this meeting, and my naive judgment in thinking it would be 'no big deal' was clearly a mistake. At the time, I was wearing comfortable clothes (t-shirt and shorts) and was talking with actor Woojin in the living room while watching the performance videos. During that time, my fiancée visited the house unexpectedly, and I'm sure it was a huge shock for her to witness that situation."

However, he emphasized, "The claims mentioned in some reports (that I was in bed in my underwear or had an inappropriate relationship with actor Woojin) are all false."

Regarding this, he said, "Typically, at late hours after performances or personal schedules, colleagues sometimes come over to my house briefly to wash up or change into comfortable clothes, and that day was no different. I have no relationship with Woojin beyond colleagues, and there were no emotional or physical actions on that day either. Additionally, I have never had any personal interactions or met alone with him previously."

Finally, he said, "After this, I conveyed my apologies directly to my fiancée and actor Woojin, and I am sincerely making efforts to comfort them for the shock and hurt they must have felt. It will not be easy, but I will do my utmost to take all responsibilities and measures so that they can find peace again. I will not avoid any blame, resentment, or responsibility arising from this incident and will fully accept it. Furthermore, I will reflect and introspect on whether I am deserving of being in front of the public from the beginning again. Even if it takes time, I will apologize until my sincerity reaches everyone affected by this incident."

In addition, Park Jun-hwi also 공개ed his fiancée's handwritten letter. Park Jun-hwi's fiancée stated, "The photo that caused the controversy was posted emotionally amidst my personal feelings and confusion and was deleted immediately after. I take this seriously as it spread to far more people than expected, leading to provocative interpretations and comments. I sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt by this."

She continued, "The expressions of 'in underwear', 'on the bed', and 'confirmed infidelity' that are currently being exaggerated and distorted online are not true, and it is very regrettable and heartbreaking that misunderstandings based solely on part of the photo have expanded, adding provocative speculations which have wounded and harmed many people."

He stated, "I sincerely hope that this matter does not get further exaggerated or distorted, that the two actors can restore their honor, and that they return to their peaceful daily lives as soon as possible. I also earnestly ask that I, as a civilian, be allowed to return to my ordinary life quietly."

Earlier on the 5th, a photo of Park Jun-hwi and Woojin bowing their heads was posted on Park Jun-hwi's social media. Following that, the content of a conversation presumed to be the messages exchanged between the two was revealed, leading some netizens to raise suspicions that they were in an infidelity relationship ahead of their marriage. As the controversy grew, Park Jun-hwi and Woojin faced severe backlash, stepping down from the works in which they were participating.

Following is the full text of Park Jun-hwi's letter.

Hello, this is Park Jun-hwi.

I deeply apologize for having disappointed many people following the emergence of the controversy, and for not communicating my position right away. With a heavy heart, I am posting this letter to address the situation with care and responsibility.

Since June 5, I have been reading each article and online content about me, as well as the related comments, and I realized that my reckless judgment and actions have caused irreparable pain and disappointment to my fiancée and family. I sincerely apologize for causing pain to my loved ones.

Moreover, I deeply and sincerely apologize for causing harm and concern to my fellow actor Woojin, the fans who trusted and supported me, and all the people involved in the performance, as well as for making everyone who sees this article feel uncomfortable.

Since April, I had been preparing for a musical performance and often had comfortable dinners with colleagues. In May, I also had a late dinner at home with fellow actors.

Similarly, on June 4, after the performance, a natural conversation arose about dining with actor Woojin, and just like our previous gathering, we decided to have a simple meal at my house and talk before parting ways.

I did not inform my fiancée in advance about this meeting, and my naive judgment in thinking it would be 'no big deal' was clearly a mistake.

At the time, I was wearing comfortable clothes (t-shirt and shorts) and was talking with actor Woojin in the living room while watching the performance videos. During that time, my fiancée visited the house unexpectedly, and I'm sure it was a huge shock for her to witness that situation.

As a fiancé, being home alone with a female colleague at a late hour could sufficiently evoke misunderstandings, and this was betraying my fiancée's trust. I should have acted more responsibly, regardless of the circumstances or reasons, and I clearly take responsibility for failing to maintain boundaries and trust.

Now, as I keenly regret my recklessness, I am even cautious to say this, but the claims mentioned in some reports (that I was in bed in my underwear or had an inappropriate relationship with actor Woojin) are all false.

Typically, at late hours after performances or personal schedules, colleagues sometimes come over to my house to wash up or change into comfortable clothes, and that day was no different.

Woojin is not more than a colleague to me, and on that day, there were no emotional or physical actions at all. Additionally, I have never had any personal interactions or met alone with him previously.

I take full responsibility for everything that happened that day. I kindly ask that all blame be directed to me, Park Jun-hwi.

I sincerely hope that the newly budding actor Woojin is not hurt by misunderstandings and speculations, and I deeply hope that no further inaccurate guesses continue so that he won’t lose his dreams.

After this, I conveyed my apologies directly to my fiancée and actor Woojin, and I am sincerely making efforts to comfort them for the shock and hurt they must have felt. It will not be easy, but I will do my utmost to take all responsibilities and measures so that they can find peace again.

I will not avoid any blame, resentment, or responsibility arising from this incident and will fully accept it. Furthermore, I will reflect and introspect on whether I am deserving of being in front of the public from the beginning again.

Even if it takes time, I will apologize until my sincerity reaches everyone affected by this incident.

Once again, I sincerely apologize.

Park Jun-hwi
