Kim Jung Hyun reunited with SNSD's Seohyun at the 2024 KBS Drama Awards on December 31, 2024. The two young stars had previously acted together in the drama "Time". However, Jung Hyun received criticism for being rude to Seohyun.
Now, Jung Hyun is rumored to have apologized to Seohyun when he won an award at the 2024 KBS Drama Awards. The actor said, "I have a lot to reflect on. My heart has been heavy for a long time. I really want to apologize." Following the apology, many speculated that the remarks were directed at Seohyun.
However, the actor was again criticized for being disrespectful to Seohyun who was there as an MC for the 2024 KBS Drama Awards. Then on January 2, 2025, Jung Hyun's agency gave a clarification regarding the actor's apology.
Story J Company, told Star News, "(Jung Hyun) did not mention the exact person's name, but it is true that he apologized at the '2024 KBS Drama Awards'." On the other hand, Jung Hyun's apology is believed to be referring to the controversy over his attitude during a photo shoot for the "Time" press conference in 2018.
At that time, the actor refused to hold hands with Seohyun. He also dropped out of the drama midway due to health reasons. A few years ago, Jung Hyun gave an explanation about his bad attitude towards Seohyun. "'Time' was my first lead role as an actor, so it was a special work for me.
However, I caused great disappointment and hurt to the director, writer, fellow actors, and staff. I apologize," the actor said. "I can't even tolerate how I acted at the production presentation. I regret it so much that I want to go back. I brought this unpleasant incident upon myself because of personal issues.
I failed to fulfill my responsibility as the main character and an actor," added Jung Hyun. After reflecting for a while, Jung Hyun apologized again in September 2021, saying, "I felt like I was wandering somewhere I didn't know the bottom of.
I was busy pushing myself, and I felt empty without a place to pour out my thoughts." Jung Hyun continued, "On the other hand, it was a time when I was able to thoroughly examine the depths of my heart. I am a person who has many shortcomings.
I reflected on the fact that I have not taken responsibility for the choices I have made. I acknowledged my own mistakes for being busy blaming someone and not taking care of my health." Meanwhile, the 2024 KBS Drama Awards was originally scheduled to air live on December 31, 2024.
However, the broadcast was canceled due to the national mourning period declared for the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster. According to Star News, the recorded broadcast of the 2024 KBS Drama Awards will likely be scheduled for the following week.
