Actor Jeong Hyeon-kyu from 'Devil's Plan 2' resumed his social media activities two months after facing controversy.
On the 18th, Jeong Hyeon-kyu expressed his feelings about attending the '4th Blue Dragon Series Awards' held at Incheon PARADISE CITY through his personal social media account.
On that day, Jeong Hyeon-kyu recalled, 'Being invited to the Blue Dragon Series Awards twice was a great honor for me. Looking back, 'Devil's Plan 2' was not just a variety show but the essence of competition itself.'
He added, 'I was more eager than anyone to achieve the result of winning, and I did my best. There were many shortcomings, but thanks to those who stayed with me until the end, I was able to stand here, and I will never forget that grateful feeling.'
Jeong Hyeon-kyu stated, 'I am always grateful for the excessive interest and support, and I will strive to repay it with a more mature and better appearance in the future.'
Meanwhile, Jeong Hyeon-kyu became known after appearing on the TVING program 'EXchange' released in 2022. He later participated in the Netflix show 'Devil's Plan 2,' which ended on the 20th of last month, and won the final championship.
However, following the broadcast, rumors arose among viewers about the favoritism shown by Kyuhyun and Yoon Sohui toward him, leading to speculations that he was pre-designated as the winner. In an interview after the show, Jeong Hyeon-kyu clarified, 'I did not receive the win as a concession. I competed fiercely and fairly.'
Aside from this, Jeong Hyeon-kyu faced criticism for seemingly disregarding Choi Hyun-jun, and afterwards, he even posted an apology note saying 'I'm sorry' on his profile.
Below is the full text of Jeong Hyeon-kyu's statement.
