The following is the full statement from Kim Keonhee regarding the special prosecutor's indictment.

I will not turn away from the path before me, and I will quietly face the trial.

Furthermore, I will continue to faithfully appear for any investigations by the special prosecutor, regardless of the charges.

I am truly sorry for causing concern to the public, and every day has been nothing but painful for me.

However, I will not make excuses under any circumstances.

Just as the moon shines brightest on the darkest night,

I, too, will endure this time by looking to my own truth and heart.

At this moment, there is nothing I can change on my own,

and although new articles pour out every day as if they were established facts,

I will not avoid this either and will face everything carefully.

Regarding the charges brought today, I am grateful to the special prosecutor and investigators for their hard work, and I also thank the correctional officers and lawyers who have looked after me during each investigation.

I ask for your continued guidance until the special prosecutor's investigation is concluded. Kim Keonhee. August 29, 2025
