Fighting back tears, Kim admitted, “There were moments I wished I had just told the truth from the beginning. Maybe then, the fans who’ve loved me, and my agency staff who worked so hard for this press conference, wouldn’t be suffering like this.”
He also revealed, “Every time more of our private life was exposed, I thought about ending this hellish situation by speaking out myself.”
Regarding the timeline of their relationship, Kim confirmed: “We were in a relationship for about a year, before Queen of Tears aired. But at the time, I denied it.”
