Korean drama star Ji Soo fired from hit show after he admits to sexual violence in the past

<p>South Korean actor Ji Soo has apologised for his past misconduct as he was under scrutiny for allegations of bullying in school and sexual assault.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking to his Instagram, Ji Soo shared a handwritten apology asking for forgiveness from past victims. “I will reflect on and repent my past, which can never be washed away, for the rest of my life,” wrote Ji Soo in an extensive letter.</p>

<p>His apology read: "I sincerely apologize to the people who suffered because of me. There is no excuse for my past misconduct. They were things that cannot be forgiven." He further went on to say that as he started his career in acting, received an undeserved amount of attention from the public with his buried past. However, there was always a part inside him that felt guilty about his wrongdoings and that his regret came too late to turn things back. He also said that his past brought him a great deal of anxiety. "I always felt crushed by my dark past," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I will reflect on and repent my past. Upon my knees, I sincerely apologize to everyone who has been hurt by me,” added the actor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is his letter in Korean:</p>
