Before the interview began, Park stated, “I came here with a heavier and more nervous heart than ever before. I am truly sorry that I might have caused damage to the production made by the hard work of so many people, including the team, staff, and actors.”
He also explained the situation at the time of the incident.
I found a problematic photo in my DMs as I was rushing to go out around lunchtime to go to my schedule. It was during the beginning of the show’s release, and I thought it was a shocking photo and could cause problems. While exchanging the show’s reactions with the organizer, I think I accidentally posted it to my story while sending it.

He also emphasized that he did not watch the video.
I, of course, did not watch the video. I also do not have another account, so it wasn’t a mistake to try to upload it to a different account.

It was revealed that he paused for a moment and teared up a bit regarding the whole incident.
I felt a lot of regret and blamed myself for the inconvenience my mistake had caused. I will carry on with my acting career with a heavy heart, being mindful of my words and actions so something like this will not happen again.
— Park Sung Hoon
He also revealed that he has not had a chance to talk with the director yet.
I called but wasn’t able to get a hold of him. He was busy with many schedules, so I couldn’t contact him again. I felt it was best to contact him after the issue was resolved. My position about the controversy has been sent to the director through the company.
