Park Han Byul was in the middle of her husband's controversy when she was filming the drama series "Love in Sadness." Back then, the actress made a public apology in respect to her fans, agency, and the production team of the project.
An excerpt from her statement said, "I am sorry. I feel very guilty about everything. Because I don't want to cause bigger problems, I try harder in filming even though I suffer and go through hard times as if I'm dying inside of me. For me, life is the process of becoming an adult and learning to straighten things out through various experiences during aging. Whatever the results come out in the end, I will regard this as a process of guiding my family to walk on the right path."
On June 3, Park Han Byul's husband and other people connected to Gangnam club Burning Sun were charged by the Seoul Central District Court for occupational embezzlement and prostitution mediation. The second hearing was last June 22 and will further progress since Yoo In Suk admits to the charges of embezzlement of Yuri Holding's funds. They will submit concrete evidence with the court, and legal investigations will occur since they plead guilty on the case.
