Before getting into the transport vehicle to move from the detention center of Yeonje Police Station in Busan to the prosecution, Kim responded to reporters asking, "Do you have anything to say to Representative Lee Jae-myung?" with the above statement. When asked, "Why did you write a statement of excuse?" he said, "Please read it and refer to it."
