Actress Hwang Jung Eum issued a public apology for mistakenly accusing an innocent woman of adultery, believing her to be involved in her husband Lee Young Don’s extramarital affairs.
In a post on her Instagram account on April 4 KST, Hwang expressed her regret, stating:
Hello.
While I was sorting out personal matters, a misunderstanding occurred.
I would like to sincerely apologize for inconveniencing a civilian and their acquaintances by publicizing their SNS posts.
I am writing this post in the hopes of correcting my mistake.
I have also contacted the victim privately with an apology.
I should have been clearer about private and public matters on a space where my actions are visible to many people, but in an emotionally unstable state, I made a serious mistake and caused discomfort to many onlookers as well, and I apologize for that.
I will be more careful from now on.”
