Hello, this is actor Jang Dong-yoon. I was thinking a lot. Although I am not satisfied with many people waiting for my thoughts and positions as one of the leading roles in’Chosun-gu Masa’, I am writing in hopes that honest and sincere answers will be provided.

First there is no excuse. I’m really sorry. I wasn’t fully aware that this work would be such a problem. That’s because I was foolish and easygoing. I looked at the work only from the standpoint of the actor acting the creative work. I overlooked the socially sharp point. That’s a big mistake.

Just because I could be with my esteemed director and great seniors and fellow actors, there was no reason for me to reject this work. I believed that it was the best option given many considerations within my limited options. As I said earlier, this is also because I was stupid.

I tried to take care of myself thoroughly with the belief that if there are no personal moral defects, I can always live proudly. However, I am reflecting on a lot of things that are embarrassing and embarrassing about my work.

I am keenly aware that I can work with the love and interest of the public. So, even if you dismiss this article as an excuse contrary to my intention, I will humbly accept it. I didn’t want it to be an article that aroused emotional appeal or sympathy, but since I expressed my heart sincerely, I repeatedly apologize for the fact that it has become that way. However, if you are generous, I would like to show you a good figure as a mature actor with this incident in your heart.
