Kim Dong-hee officially issued a statement on the 13th, first explaining: "When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I first evolved from verbal quarrels to fights with my classmates, so I was reprimanded by the teacher, and when my mother heard the news, she scolded me very severely, and then took me to the friend's house to apologize to the friend and the other party's mother." He revealed that after that day, he and his friends would go to school together and also go to each other's homes to eat, and he thought that the friend and the other's mother had forgiven him, "I didn't know that I was the only one who thought so, and didn't realize that it would hurt those people."
When it was revealed last year (2021), Kim Dong-hee explained that he immediately wanted to apologize, but he was afraid that once he said sorry, some untrue exposés would become true, so he couldn't summon up his courage, so a year passed.
"When I was young, because of my rash judgment and thoughts, I failed to deeply understand the mood of my friends, the hurt I suffered because of my friends, I really felt sorry, and I also wanted to solve this matter in the future, as well as people who were hurt by my immature words and actions when I was a child, I deeply reflected and apologized." 」 Formally issued a statement of apology.

The main reason why Kim Dong-hee was judged to be "no suspect of bullying" is that the lawyers claim that there are differences in the statements of the two sides on the acts of violence, and the lawyers admit that "Kim Dong-hee has moved, and the content of the national small and small window claims is partly factual, but the severity of the violence is different." At that time, Kim Dong-hee did not threaten to wield scissors or art knives, but only pushed the suspected victim's chest with his foot.
This "push with your feet" statement caused the anger of the Korean network, believing that Kim Dong-hee had made a move, and the lawyer forced it to reason, and 1 day after the incident, Kim Dong-hee officially issued an apology statement.
