"Through this incident, we have remembered what is the highest standard we should keep."We take your words seriously and will do our best to restore trust with more responsible operations in the future."," he added.
Suspicions were raised earlier in the online community that Kim Joon-young entered the entertainment establishment. Some claimed that Kim Joon-young posted a photo of the receipt of the entertainment establishment on his personal SNS account and deleted it, and that the receipt contained the woman's name and payment amount.
In response, the agency responded "There was no illegal activity"We will take decisive action against illegal activities such as the dissemination of malicious false information and defamation, including legal action.", but the controversy did not subside easily.
Eventually, HJ Culture officially announced on the 3rd that `Kim Joon-young actor is dropping out of all his works.' "As Kim Joon-young was appearing in several works at the same time, careful consultation with each production company and officials was necessary. We apologize for the time it took to finalize and inform you of the final decision."
In addition, "In the process of carrying out internal procedures to show responsibility to all those who trusted and supported us, initial notice and position expression were insufficient. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment."
Meanwhile, Kim Joon-young has been active on stage by appearing in plays 'Amadeus' and musicals 'Rachmaninoff'. He was about to appear in musicals 'Eternity' and 'Jondow' as his next film, but the controversy halted all activities.
