We drove a little further and parked the car.

I got out of the car and checked what I had hit.

I apologized to the two sanitation workers as soon as I met them.

The two individuals carefully stated that they had already reported the incident to the police.

I was in a situation where I had no words to offer even if you were angry, but your remarks left me even more flustered and apologetic, making me wish I could hide away somewhere.

I will take responsibility for my mistake. I am truly sorry once again.

I spoke with them and briefly chatted while waiting for the police at the scene.

In the video, what I put in my coat pocket was the car key that I had been holding in my hand.

I am truly sorry to the production team and staff who trusted me and called on me, as well as my colleagues who have been by my side.

I have caused great worry and disappointment to those who had offered me words of encouragement that gave me much strength.

I apologize to all the fans who have supported me for a long time, those who took the time to meet me and waited, and everyone who has watched my works and broadcasts.

Thinking about what I did makes me so angry with myself, but rather than dwelling on that feeling, to those who were shocked and distressed by my actions

I would like to apologize once again in my own words.

I will cooperate fully with the police investigation. I will take the necessary measures to remedy the damage caused by the accident and accept full responsibility for any resulting penalties.
