Jung JoonYoung Admits to His Crimes in a Letter of Apology

[dallinferno.livejournal.com]

On March 13, Jung JoonYoung published a letter of apology in which he admitted to all his crimes and promised to deeply reflect on his actions (op note: ha, as if!).


I write to you in shame and guilt.

I, Jung Joon Young, once again realized the seriousness of this situation after returning to Korea on March 12. Although it’s already late, I apologize through this letter to all the people who showed an interest in me and gave me a second chance.

In regards to what is being said in relation to me, I admit to all my crimes. I filmed women without their consent and shared it in a social media chatroom, and while I did so I didn’t feel a great sense of guilt.

As a public figure, it was an unethical act worthy of criticism, and such a thoughtless action.

More than anything, I kneel and apologize to the women who appear in the videos who have learned of this hideous truth as the incident has come to light, and to the many people who must be angry at the situation over which they cannot contain their disappointment and astonishment.

I am withdrawing from all the programs that I was appearing on, and I will suspend all activities in the entertainment industry. I will now set down all my activities as a public figure that are not self-reflection, and I will reflect for the rest of my life on my immoral and illegal actions related to the crimes.

More than anyone else, I apologize to the women who have experienced great suffering due to my actions, to the many people who must feel anger even more so than disappointment, and to the many people who made me into a public figure and cherished me.

I will sincerely take part without any falsehoods in the investigations that will begin on the morning of March 14, and I will accept punishment for my actions.

I once again deeply apologize. I am sorry.

Does anyone really believe this scum feels sorry for what he's done? He's only sorry he got caught!

not even gonna waste my time reading it.

i agree OP, he's only sorry he got caught and he can rot in hell

[dallinferno.livejournal.com]

I mean his whole "apology" reads as if he realized that what he was doing is wrong overnight!

Does he really genuinely think we're so stupid to believe this? Really now? Really?!

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

Retire bitch.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Retire? More like expire bitch!

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

louis ck's impact! but more seriously...why? is he hoping for a lighter sentence by writing this?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

he probably got a deal

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

Yeah right, as though he had a choice since there's actual proof of his crimes. He needs to work on cleaning his filthy mind instead of just being sorry he was caught.

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

damn. plead guilty and go away. I wonder if his lawyer told him to write it.

As a public figure, It was an unethical act worthy of criticism, and such a thoughtless action.

Go die in a desolated cold corner tbh

Can he just name every single one of his friends who've been in those chats so we can cancel them all at once?

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

rest in jail

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

He lacked empathy over an extended period of time to do that shit. It's not like he lost his mind in a moment and regretted the crime later. He's definitely only sorry now that he's under pressure and is feeling the heat himself.

A letter isn't gonna cut it if he wants to prove he's sorry. At the very least he could begin by donating to organizations that support abused/sexually assaulted women.

As a public figure? You mean as a human being. I just—*sigh*.

[twinedays.livejournal.com]

this is all for a reduced sentence i bet.

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

fuck off forever and don’t even think about coming back into the public eye once your time in jail is up

[accioanime.livejournal.com]

I thought he would disappear from his previous scandal with his ex but after a few months and fans calling for his return, he came back successfully anyway to 1N2D so Im not putting stock on him going away for good this time, probably just gonna wait till it dies out just like before :/

[xxqod.livejournal.com]

tsk. I feel like someone wrote it for him.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

they rarely write their own apologies, they have PR stuff for that

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

He's sorry he got caught
Probably is sorry he was dumb enough to be caught twice
I doubt he's sorry for what he's done



Side note: I'm guessing he's getting a deal and giving his buddies name? I hope he still gets some jail time

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

he'll most likely get slap on the wrist tbh and i'm already mad just thinking about it.

i can't see anybody involved in this getting jail time since most of korea's justice system thinks ~*destroying a man's career*~ is punishment enough.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

he should've just also retire from the industry


and although this is what every pos should've done, at the very least, he apologize to all those women. i think most of these sex offenders usually only apologize to their fans, which is gross.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I feel like the electric chair meme is played out so may I suggest tar and feathering instead?

He's not sorry, he's a fucking sociopath who's only sorry he got caught. He's already got mommy and daddy paying for a high priced lawyer to free him.

Shout out to the journalist at the airport that yanked his hair, you the real mvp.

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

i all honesty, i have no hope in the korean justice system so i can't see those involved doing any time in jail.

i hope im wrong, but

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

who the fuck is buying this?

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

Rot in hell!

[hakkais-shadow.livejournal.com]

You can reflect all you want from behind bars, dude.....

.....hopefully for a long, long time.

Asshole.

Here's his statement/apology from 2016 if anyone wants to read

In the original charge Jung Joon Young was accused of filming A during sexual intercourse, but he clarified in the press conference that the filming was mutual and the charge had been filed impulsively.

“It was not a hidden camera,” he said. “At the time [of the accusation], I was busy with various schedules and the woman had felt neglected. We argued and came to a misunderstanding and she impulsively filed the charge based on the video filming.”

He continued, “I submitted to the police investigation and told them my side of what happened, acknowledging that the filming had occurred but had been mutual. The woman in question had also withdrawn her complaint and stated that the filming had not happened without her permission.”

“After she submitted a petition, we hoped that the incident would end quietly as a personal matter. We were on the point of resolving the issue when words like ‘hidden camera’ started appearing and she is currently experiencing a lot of fear and anxiety.”

“I take responsibility for this entire situation,” he concluded. “I did not imagine that something I did for fun could become this big of an issue. I deeply regret that my immature actions caused pain to my former girlfriend as well as the public.”

He also apologized to his various co-workers on his TV programs, stating that he will submit to whatever decision they take with regards to his future appearances.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

obviously this guy is much worse in the end...as far as we knew, but it reminds me of edison chen. he too claimed all his filming was mutual, got it leaked at a repair shop and told the girls he would remove it after he broke up with them. both nasty pieces of work with filthy minds who think of women as toys for their own enjoyment. gross.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

something that he did for fun.

i just want to throw up. rape/ sexual assault and sharing that with your friends is FUN.

can you imagine?? what a fucking sociopath!

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Psycho. Go rot behind bars.

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

Wa wa waaaa; shut the fuck up. As other have said he maybe got a deal for tattling on his criminal buddies.

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

fucking psychopath, he needs to go to jail
