On his official homepage: "Hello, this is Kim Hyun Joong. I truly apologize for giving physical and psychological pain to someone I loved and trusted for two years. I am so embarrassed to have done something I never should have as a man. This scandal is completely my fault and there is no reason to criticize her. I apologize once again to her and to her friends and family. More than anything, I ask for her forgiveness and acceptance of my apology. I will work harder to live more healthily and upright from here on forward."

2. [+975, -27] How scary an image is... He used to look so nice before but now he just looks scary.

3. [+675, -32] Screw off

4. [+49, -3] He said it hasn't been long since they started dating but he eventually admits they've been dating for two years ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+45, -2] His girlfriend said she wouldn't compromise and asked for an apology first and admittance of habitual assault so now he goes and writes up an apology ㅡㅡ If he was truly sorry, he would've apologized from the start, not after all these scandals broke out and he finished his international tour. He probably thought he could buy her off with money but she has too much proof with KakaoTalk along with the threat of more proof so he's putting his tail down. To all you fans who still believe the woman's a kkot-baem, wake up ㅡㅡ Think of all the lies he's said like how long they've been dating.
