Before the interview began, Park stated: “I came here with a heavier and more nervous heart than ever. I am truly sorry for causing damage to the production, which was achieved thanks to the hard work of so many people, including the team, staff and actors.
He also explained the situation at the time of the accident.
I found a problematic photo in my DMs as I was rushing to go out around lunchtime to keep up with my schedule. It was early in the show’s release and I thought it was a shocking photo and could cause problems. While exchanging reactions of the show with the organizer, I think I accidentally posted it on my story while submitting it.

He also stressed that he had not watched the video.
Obviously I didn’t watch the video. I also don’t have another account, so it wasn’t a mistake to try to upload it to a different account.
—Park Sung Hoon
It was revealed that he stopped for a moment and cried a little about the whole incident.
I felt a lot of regret and blamed myself for the inconvenience caused by my mistake. I will continue my acting career with a heavy heart, being conscious of my words and actions, so that something like this never happens again.
—Park Sung Hoon
He also revealed that he hasn’t had a chance to speak to the director yet.
I called but couldn’t reach him. He was busy with many commitments, so I couldn’t contact him again. I felt it was best to contact him once the problem was resolved. My position on the dispute was conveyed to the director via the company.
