Full text of the entrance statement to Go Sewon.
Hello, this is actress Go Se-won.
First of all, I would like to apologize and apologize for causing a scandal.
I want to make it clear that the comments posted anonymously on the current online bulletin board are not true, and the person who posted the above has been harassing me and my family with all sorts of threats, text bombs, and stalking following breaking up with me to this day.
I blocked both text messages and KakaoTalk due to severe pain, but following leaving and rejoining the messenger dozens of times, I avoided blocking and sent thousands of threatening texts, including saying that I would not be able to work anymore, and even my mother did the same thing. have been taking action. Not only that, but I also sent a message to my divorced ex-wife.
Also, when I changed my phone number to organize my cell phone, when the acquaintances who signed up with my old number and saved my phone number appeared on the messenger, I sent a salvage message to the women among my acquaintances and impersonated me to dig out my private life. I did. In this way, I have continuously caused damage to myself, my family, my ex-wife, and even my acquaintances.
Me and my family are suffering indescribably from stalking, such as not only texting, but also stalking me and going to the apartment management office because I am not going to my parents’ house.
Although I am not a famous actor, I feel responsible as a public figure in front of many people, and I have tried really hard not to be patient with his actions. I am going through a nightmare in which the effort and time I have worked hard to survive as an actor may become meaningless through his anonymous posting on his online bulletin board, but I thought it was my mistake and tried to accept it without response.
However, I have come to the conclusion that this cannot be the case as long as not only me but the people around me, especially my mother, are suffering. I would like to point out that if he continues this stalking in the future, I will have no choice but to take any legal action I can.
Finally, I make it clear that I never asked for the video or photo that he mentioned in the article. The video has never been leaked anywhere, and as a result of contacting a lawyer in the constant stalking pain, I was advised not to delete all the series of texts that have been there, but to keep them as evidence. I would really like to delete it even if it is not his request, but it is so painful that I cannot delete it amidst this constant stalking and groundless revelations.
Once once more, we apologize and apologize for causing concern to many people.
Go Se-won
