According to the agency, Heo Woong "I sincerely apologize for causing concern to the people and fans over the past few days due to my work. Currently, the other party's claim is different from the truth, and we are responding to this with active cooperation with the investigative agency."




`I want to reveal the truth through the results of the investigation rather than responding to the other party's groundless claims one by one,' he said."I will summarize my position and tell the people when the results of the investigation come out without making any further statements.'

The agency apologizes to the late Lee Sun-kyun, the bereaved family, the fans who loved the deceased, and the agency, who were unnecessarily mentioned due to us despite their irrelevance to the incident", he apologized.

Earlier on the 27th, Heo Woong filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on charges of violating the law on attempted blackmail, intimidation, and punishment of stalking crimes, and violation of the law on drug management. The two first met in 2018 with the introduction of an acquaintance and developed into a relationship, but they broke up in December 2021 due to differences in personality and opposition from both parents.




Heo Woong's side demanded about 300 million won for the background of the complaint. He blackmailed and threatened to reveal Heo Woong's private life to the media, SNS, YouTube, and his club if he did not comply with his request. Mr. A stalked Heo Woong several times after the breakup. On the other hand, Mr. A "Both abortions were forced by Heo Woong and there was no marriage proposal."He unilaterally demanded sexual intercourse during pregnancy and during termination of pregnancy." countered.

Since then, it has been revealed that A, who was sued by Heo Woong, is from the same business as Kim, the head of an entertainment establishment, who is being arrested and tried in the case of blackmail and intimidation by the late actor Lee Sun-kyun. According to a report by Money Today on the 28th, A was investigated as one of the suspects suspected of taking drugs when the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency investigated the Lee Sun-kyun case last year. In response, Heo Woong bowed his head, saying, `I apologize to the late Lee Sun-kyun, the bereaved family, the fans who loved the deceased, and their agency, who were unnecessarily mentioned because of us, even though it was not related to this case.'

However, it is reported that A did not work in the business at the end of 2018 or 2021, when he was first introduced to Heo Woong and was in a relationship. At that time, A was a student attending a university, and Heo Woong said he first met A, who was a university student, through the introduction of an acquaintance.




▶Next is Heo Woong's official position.

Hello.

It's Heo Woong's agency, Key Player Agency.

On the 27th, through lawyer Kim Dong-hyung, a legal representative, filed a complaint against the perpetrators on charges of violating the law on attempted blackmail, intimidation, and the punishment of stalking crimes, and violation of the law on drug management. I'm telling you the position of Heo Woong as below, so please refer to the report.

I sincerely apologize for causing concern to the people and fans over the past few days due to my work. Currently, the other party's argument is different from the truth, and we are responding to this with active cooperation with the investigative agency. Rather than responding to each other's groundless claims, I would like to reveal the truth through the results of the investigation. If the results of the investigation come out without further comment, I will organize my position and tell the people at that time.

Finally, I would like to apologize to the late Lee Sun-kyun, the bereaved family, the fans who loved the deceased and their agency, who were unnecessarily mentioned because of us despite their irrelevance to this case.
