Kim Ji-young said, “However, it is also true that I went through a difficult time wandering around a lot due to the burden, personal difficulties, and anxiety that came with starting my acting career at a young age.” “However, I sincerely think that I should have always shown a good side of myself to the many people who believed in me and supported me. I deeply regret disappointing you with my immature judgment and actions.”

Kim Ji-young said, “I had a hard time being involved in a bad incident, but this incident made me realize once again how much I loved acting and how hard I worked to show you good acting,” and pledged, “I promise to return with a more mature and genuine image, even if it takes time.”
