Choi wrote on his personal account on the morning of the 20th, "'What was reported yesterday was a personal conflict between me and my girlfriend, a kind of happening caused by an escalation of a minor quarrel"I am very sorry that during the process of getting emotional, there was a misunderstanding between each other, and that the situation was misrepresented and transmitted contrary to the facts."
In addition, the expression 'girlfriend's exposure' raised by some also stems from misunderstanding and clearly states that it is far from the facts.In particular, the accusation that I threatened or stalked with a weapon is not true at all, and both I and my girlfriend clearly deny the content. We plan to respond strongly to such false facts in the future."
Choi Jung-won once again apologizes for the fact that my personal life was misleading and was reported as uncomfortable news, and I will act more carefully and responsibly in the future. I'm sorry."
According to an SBS report on the 19th, the Jungbu Police Station in Seoul booked Choi Jung-won on the 16th on charges of stalking, such as visiting a woman's acquaintance's house with a weapon. The police took emergency safety measures to protect the victims and then applied for emergency measures afterwards to the court.
The Seoul Central District Court approved the matter on the 18th, saying, `The matter is serious and there is a risk of repeated actions.' Choi Jung-won is prohibited from accessing the victim within 100m, and he cannot contact her through telecommunications such as mobile phones. Violation of this could result in imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to 10 million won. Police are currently investigating specific facts against Choi Jeong-won.
The following is the full text of Choi Jeong-won's entry.
Hello, I'm Choi Jeongwon.
What was reported yesterday was a personal conflict between me and my girlfriend, a kind of happening caused by an escalation of a minor quarrel.
In the process of getting emotional, there was a misunderstanding between each other, and the situation was misrepresented and transmitted
I'm very sorry about that.
It is also clear that the expression 'girlfriend's revelation' raised by some also stems from misunderstanding and is far from factual.
In particular, allegations that I threatened or stalked with a weapon are completely untrue, and both I and my girlfriend clearly deny.
We plan to respond strongly to such false facts in the future. Once again, I sincerely apologize for the fact that my personal life was misleading and was reported as inconvenient news, and I will act more carefully and responsibly from now on.
I'm sorry.

I love you, Choi Jeongwon
