"I was performing on stage at the Chungam Festival at Chungam High School. I made some political statements during the performance that should not have been made," he said, adding, "I apologize to all the teachers, faculty, and students who were there.
He posted a video apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry for the damage that has been caused up until now. I sincerely apologize." He said, "I don't usually take a political stance, but I'm not a left- or right-winger.
"I don't know much about politics. However, when I was interviewing a student who came up on stage, that name came up and I got excited and made a comment that I shouldn't have made," he continued.
He apologized again and again. He said, "I apologize again, I am a hundred times more sorry. I take all the blame and all the responsibility."
I apologize for the inappropriate comments I made and the damage I caused to the school."
Along with the apology video, he wrote, "Hello, this is Jung Sang-soo. My comments were not made in consultation with the school officials.
I simply apologize to those who were harmed by my personal remarks and take responsibility for the school.
We ask that you refrain from criticizing us," he said, adding, "We will be even more careful not to make inappropriate comments during future performances and activities."
On the 31st of last month, Jung Sang-soo was on stage at Chungam High School's Chungam Festival when he shouted "Youn Again" and was caught on video.
"Yoon Again" is a slogan shouted by supporters of former President Yoon Seok-yeol. Former President Yoon is a former member of Chungam High School.
In response, the Chungam High School student council posted on social media on the 1st, "A video of singer Jung Sang-soo shouting 'Youn Again' was uploaded online.
The remarks in question have nothing to do with the position of Chungam High School or the Chungam Festival, and there is absolutely no evidence that the school or student council requested or discussed this in advance."
"We would like to inform you that these are personal comments made by Sang-soo," the company explained. It continued, "This incident occurred when singer Jung Sang-soo had previously invited students from other schools onto the stage."
"The student in question made a political statement, which prompted singer Jung Sang-soo to make the statement. Once again, singer Jung Sang-soo's statement is a violation of Chungam High School and the Chungam Festival.
We would like to inform you that this has nothing to do with our position."
