Hello, this is Jin Ye Sol.
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for delivering such unfortunate news. I should have taken full responsibility for my actions and made more careful judgments as a public figure, but I made a grave mistake due to a momentary lapse in judgment. I sincerely apologize to everyone who supports me. From now on, I will self-reflect. I am deeply sorry and ashamed. Once again, I bow my head in apology.
