On the 29th, Riwon posted a long message on his SNS, saying, `I sincerely apologize for causing concern to the cast, crew, people who supported me, and viewers who appeared together.'
He said he recognized his past activities as a BJ and his meal dates with the opposite sex during the broadcast, and that he deeply reflected on the fact that he did not notify him before appearing on the program.
Riwon explained, "'I have hosted private content broadcasts for a total of three years since 2016, and there have been a total of six meal dates during broadcasting activities, but these were all sound meetings.'
Then "In the past, he left broadcast records, and there was no touch at all."," he added.
When it comes to sexual orientation, which has become the center of controversy, "I'm a woman who loves women. I've been aware since middle school, and my first relationship with a woman lasted about two and a half years" he said.
"In the summer of 2024, I met with a man to deny my orientation, but rather suffered from intimidation, imprisonment, hacking, and violence," he confessed.
He applied to 'Your Love' with a desperate desire to come out on his own when he was not even free to part ways"All the responsibility lies with me, and the cast and crew are victims who were not aware of this. I'm truly sorry to bother you on the show," he bowed his head.
Finally, Li Wen "I desperately hope that that one will not cause prejudice against LGBTQ people." I will take responsibility for all these matters, reflect on them, and step down quietly."
▶The following is the full text of Liwon's admission.
Hello.
I'm your love cast member, Kim Riwon.
First of all, I sincerely apologize to the cast members who appeared with me, the production staff, those around me who cared for me, and all the viewers who watched me for the trouble and inconvenience.
Before we cause any further damage, I would like to tell you the truth and apologize.
For me, from 2016 to about two years, from November 2021 to March 2022 to about four months, from February to September 2024 to about seven months,
I've been doing private content broadcasts for about three years.
In addition, a total of six meal dates were held during broadcasting activities, and all meetings were made with healthy meals without touching.
To prove this, we made sure to broadcast and keep records on that day.
However, regardless of my personal situation, despite having this past
I sincerely apologize for being disappointed and hurting many people by appearing on the program without informing the production team in advance.
Also, I would like to tell you about my gender orientation.
I am a woman who loves women.
I first realized my sexual orientation when I was in middle school,
The first relationship also continued for two and a half years with a woman.
But after that, I wanted to deny myself
I've met both women and men.
I continued my long relationship with a woman until June 2024,
After that, with a final denial, I met a man in August.
He helped me organize my broadcast videos in the beginning,
Whenever I wanted to break up, I was threatened to expose my orientation to my acquaintances and family, assaulted, imprisoned, hacked, and threatened to kill.
In a situation where separation was not easy, I applied to the program with a desperate desire to come out on my own rather than being outtaken through other people's mouths.
After the meeting was held, we met again for about two weeks,
From this year on, there has been no relationship.
We appointed a lawyer before the appearance and are currently preparing a lawsuit.
It's all inexcusable that I've done inappropriate broadcasts in the past and that I've met a man before filming.
I have a different job now, and I think all these past broadcast traces have been sorted out
Now I'm on the show with my selfish mind to admit that I'm a lesbian.
As a result, I am deeply sorry for causing trouble to the program and hurting precious cast members and production staff.
The cast and crew also did not know my past at all and were rather damaged.
And I'm so sorry that I've damaged the big meaning of the first lesbian love program in Korea.
Because of that one thing,
It's also heartbreaking and I'm sorry to have a false prejudice against LGBTQ people.
This all stems from my personal selfishness and inappropriate past.
All LGBTQ people, those involved in the program and viewers, are all victims.
I am solely responsible for all the responsibilities.
Once again, I deeply apologize to everyone who has been hurt by me.
I am truly sorry.
