[theqoo] KO KYUNG-PYO'S APOLOGY

"I’m sorry. This is Ko Kyung-pyo.

On the early morning of November 14, I was caught driving after drinking alcohol and have had my vehicle towed. At the time, my blood alcohol concentration exceeded the legal threshold for license revocation. I would first like to apologize once again to everyone who was shocked and put at risk by my driving while you were going about your work early in the morning.

Driving after drinking was entirely my fault. I was the one who had told people not to drink and drive, yet I went against my own words. My actions could have seriously injured someone. It was an extremely irresponsible thing to do.

After colliding with the tow truck, I parked my car a little farther ahead because the place where we collided was not immediately visible. I got out of the car and checked what had been hit. As soon as I saw the two environmental sanitation workers, I apologized to them.

The two men carefully told me that they had already reported the incident to the police. I was in no position to get angry or say anything in response. Hearing them say that made me even more embarrassed and sorry, and I wanted to disappear somewhere. I once again told them that I would take responsibility for my wrongdoing and sincerely apologized. We spoke briefly at the scene while waiting for the police.

What I put in my coat pocket in the video was the car key that I had been holding in my hand.

There was a time when, as an actor, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what I should do going forward. Back then, appearing on variety shows and spending time laughing with people gave me a lot of strength. There were people who told me that watching my programs helped them forget their worries, even if only briefly, after a difficult day. I was happy and grateful for every day I went to work.

I am even more sorry to the people who are currently working on the programs I appear in and the programs that are about to be released. Scenes in which we laughed together now have to be edited out because of my mistake, and there are people who must suddenly make difficult decisions despite having spent a long time preparing for upcoming schedules. I sincerely apologize to the production teams and staff who trusted me and invited me to work with them, as well as my fellow cast members who stood alongside me.

To everyone who has given me words of encouragement and support, I have caused great worry and disappointment. To my fans who have supported me for a long time, those who made time to meet me, and everyone who has watched my films and television appearances, I apologize. When I think about what I have done, I become incredibly angry with myself. But rather than dwelling on those feelings, I want to apologize once again to everyone who was shocked and hurt by my actions.

I will fully cooperate with the police investigation. I will take the necessary measures to repair any damage caused by the incident and accept full responsibility for all consequences and penalties. I will suspend all scheduled activities. I will never forget the shame I feel about myself because of this incident, and I will live while holding myself accountable.

I am truly sorry."
