[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Writer Gong Ji-young said that she has been threatened for a year by actress Kim Bu-seon, who threatened to reveal her obscene photos, and said, "Go ahead and reveal the so-called obscene photos that my ex-husband supposedly sent."

On the 11th, Gong wrote on her Facebook, "I avoided getting more entangled, but I am responding for the sake of our children," she said.

She said, "I tried hard to stop the child, but upon reflection, it was a futile effort," adding, "The child is now an adult, so I believe they will interpret it on their own."

She continued, "It has been 16 years since my third divorce," and added, "My ex-husband apparently had something going on with some actress, and there must have been some texts and photos exchanged between them. Or maybe he sent them unilaterally; of course, I have no idea."

She then explained, "It was almost a year ago that she threatened me, saying she would reveal the obscene photos my ex-husband sent her," and "She said that since our child born from my ex-husband would be hurt, if I wanted to stop that, I should publicly apologize to her."

She also said, "Although the police investigation regarding the leaked recording resulted in no charges, she demanded a public apology to her and her daughter," and "Of course, I apologized personally more than a million times, but she requested that I make a public statement at that time, and I begged her that the timing was not good."

However, Gong revealed, "Thinking that I had to protect the child, I desperately responded to and tried to calm her, but I couldn't endure the texts she sent every dawn and ended up blocking her."

She added, "I do not regret defending her, whom I had never met," and "That was an act according to my conscience, so even if that day comes again, I would do the same."
