Rapper Microdot wrote a letter of apology and explanation after his parents’ prison sentences were confirmed.
On May 1, Microdot posted a lengthy apology letter on his Instagram.
“Hello. This is Microdot (Shin Jae Ho).
When the news of my parents came out in November 2018, I spoke carelessly without a full understanding of the situation and therefore hurt the victims, and I apologize for that.
I’m ashamed of myself for being careless at that time and still deeply regretting it.
I can’t turn back the time with words, but my parents’ faults are my faults and my parents’ regrets are also the regrets that I must bear as a son.
I cannot fully fathom the suffering that the victims and their families went through all this time.
That is why for the past year and a half I have done everything I can to understand the exact facts, and though I might be lacking, tried correct my parents’ mistake.
By April 24, 2020, when the final ruling was made, I had reached an agreement with nine victims as the son of my parents, but I couldn’t reach an agreement with the other four victims and my parents were sentenced to prison.
I would like to once again apologize to those who have been hurt by my parents and those who have been hurt because of what I lack.
I will always be careful not to repeat the same mistakes in the future, looking back on my insufficient actions.
From Microdot (Shin Jae Ho).”
