“I thought about it a lot. It makes me sad that #MeToo had to become a movement. The fact that #MeToo had to happen makes me so upset and angry.” — Song Ji Hyo
She had the utmost respect for the victims who came forward, as well as words of encouragement.
“I truly admire the people who had the courage to start this movement so we can support it together. Many people think ‘society has changed,’ but I hope the vulnerable will no longer be victims.” — Song Ji Hyo
