[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] As Chef Lee Won-il's fianc?e, PD Kim Yoo-jin, posted a second apology regarding past school violence controversies, the victim, A, has once again expressed their position.

On the 23rd, A posted a message titled "A Review of the Public Discussion on the Group Assault Incident Involving the Fianc?e of a Famous Chef" on an online community.

A stated that by publicizing the issue, they aimed to set a precedent where the perpetrator would at least not shamelessly show their face in the media.

They expressed regret, saying, "It is unfortunate that countless comments 'vicariously forgiving' the perpetrator and the chef are appearing under the apology posted on Chef Lee Won-il's Instagram."

Furthermore, A explained, "I thought that if I talked with the perpetrator and received an apology, I would be able to fall asleep on time today, but that was my mistake. Knowing that wounds that have lasted 12 years will not heal overnight, my feelings are more complicated than relieved right now, so I do not intend to immediately accept Kim Yoo-jin PD's apology or forgive her."

Following this, A revealed a KakaoTalk conversation with PD Kim after the second apology was posted.

When the victim requested revisions to the apology, PD Kim responded, "Okay, sorry, I posted the revised version."

Regarding this, A criticized, "If you intend to apologize to other victims in this tone, I hope you reconsider. It is truly outrageous that the person apologizing continues to act like an elder."

Previously, A claimed that in 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand, they were repeatedly assaulted with slippers in a group attack by PD Kim and her associates.

When the controversy arose from this revelation, PD Kim and Chef Lee posted apologies on Instagram, but the controversy intensified as the apology did not specifically acknowledge wrongdoing, using phrases like 'regardless of the facts.'
