After arriving at the Seoul Central District Court, Jung Joon Young stood in front of the press and read a statement he had handwritten in advance.

He stated, “I apologize. I have committed an unforgivable crime. I admit to all of the charges made against me. I will not argue [about the charges] and humbly abide by the court’s decision. Once again, I deeply apologize to the victims to whom I caused pain, the women who received secondary damages due to groundless rumors, and everyone who showed me interest and love until now. I will faithfully cooperate with the investigations and spend the rest of my life repenting.”

Regarding the arrest warrant request, a source from the court explained, “Although it is not confirmed, the results will most likely be out late tonight.”
