Read Ahn Se Ha’s letter in full below:
Hello, this is An Se Ha.
I sincerely apologize for causing concern due to the series of events related to me.
Until now, I have not expressed my position because I believed that legally identifying and punishing those spreading false information was the objective course of action and that it was right to state my position afterward.
However, as their malicious attacks and false interviews continued, I realized that it might be difficult to live as a proud father and son if I remained silent. Therefore, I resolved to clearly state the facts myself.
The posts on the Internet and their claims are all blatantly false. I have no intention of resuming my career as an actor by apologizing for these distorted and false memories.
I believe it is my duty to correct the wrongs and live as an honorable father, which is why I requested a police investigation to clear my name. I have sincerely completed the investigation.
Lastly, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has believed in and worried about me.
Sincerely, An Se Ha.
Previously, allegations of school bullying from Ahn Se Ha’s middle school years emerged. Netizen A claimed, “Ahn Se Ha was notorious as the leader of the school bullies,” recounting incidents where he poked their stomach and threatened them with broken glass, forced unwanted fights, and verbally abused other students.
In response, Ahn Se Ha’s agency Hunus Entertainment issued four statements over two days on September 10 and 11, strongly denying the accusations. They further stated that they had filed a formal complaint with the police and enlisted a lawyer to pursue civil and criminal lawsuits for defamation against the “individual spreading the false claims.”
Despite the denials, the controversy continued to escalate, resulting in suspensions and cancellations of the actor’s public activities including his musical performance, ceremonial first pitch at the NC Dinos’ baseball game, and his position as an ambassador for the National Theater Festival.
