"I apologize for disappointing with my careless act. Mandoo and Gaji, who have been with us for 13 years, are a precious family that we cannot live without. I will be more cautious from now on so my family and others will not be hurt by my mistake. I will look back at myself multiple times in order to become a�proper example to my children. I will become a mother who reflects on her actions and learns from it. Once again, I apologize."
