While the agency had previously denied the allegations, Kim Ji Woong's apology takes a different stance, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to address the issue and promising to do his best to make fans happy.

It's noteworthy that the agency's statement mentioned a forensic analysis, but Kim Ji Woong's personal apology doesn't directly address the analysis or its results.

Read his statement below:

"You must have waited a long time. My heart was heavy all the while.
To our Ze_Rose who stood by my side unconditionally, I'm sorry for making you worry.
When I thought about how this incident wasn't something I had to bear on my own, but something that must have also affected Ze_Rose and caused you distress, my heart did not feel comfortable. 
For some, it might feel too late, but for me, I am thankful for the opportunity to address the issue even now.
As always, I will do my best right by your side so that Ze_Rose can smile and be happy.
Ze_Rose, thank you and I love you."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
