Hello. This is Song Hwa-ryeong.
I was the Deputy General Manager of the TGS COMPANY crew. Within this crew, I plagiarized WORTH IT COMPANY and Ulryeok Hwihak. I stole ideas from WORTH IT and Ulryeok Hwihak, including the rule prohibiting remarks that undermine self-esteem, application forms, interview time slot reservations, recruitment episodes exclusive to the Free Pass, general casting, application forms tailored for elementary, middle, and high school students, and 200 communication entries per month. Furthermore, I did not say a single word to the general managers of each crew regarding the plagiarism. I did not look into the matter further, nor did I request permission from the general managers of WORTH IT and Ulryeok Hwihak, nor did I tell them a single word about the plagiarism. Because of this, I believe that Kim Seok-ryu (Saturn), the General Manager of WORTH IT, and the Manager of Ulryeok Hwihak suffered the greatest damage. I believe that the other executives who established WORTH IT and Ullyeok Hwihak with good ideas have also suffered significant damage, and I think the members of WORTH IT and Ullyeok Hwihak have also been harmed by the plagiarism caused by us, despite their complete lack of fault. I acknowledge that every single instance of plagiarism currently known to the executives of WORTH IT and Ullyeok Hwihak is indeed plagiarism. If any other instances of plagiarism are discovered beyond the content mentioned above, please let me know so that I can write an additional apology. I sincerely apologize to WORTH IT COMPANY CEO Kim Seok-ryu (Saturn), CFO Jue, Shin Yeo-ju, and Mireungji, the Chief of Principals and Vice Principal Kim Seok-ryu of Ulryeok Hwihak, Professor Mireungji of Jujakgwan, Professor Saint Laurent of Cheongryonggwan, Professor Bangtannaesarang of Hyeonmugwan, Professor Jue of Baekhogwan, all crew members of WORTH IT, and all crew members of Ulryeok Hwihak who have suffered damages because of me and us. My desire to join a new crew and lead it got the better of me, so I failed to carefully examine the surroundings, consider whether this could be a plagiarism issue, whether I needed to contact the general managers separately for permission since this content was also included in WORTH IT and Ulryeok Hwihak, and I did not think about what other content might overlap with other crews. I would also like to apologize for the part where I shamelessly chatted, claiming to be nervous, even though I had plagiarized your work before the TGS crew recruitment post was uploaded. I am still aware of my wrongdoing regarding this plagiarism issue and am reflecting on it by going through each point. As a crew member of WORTH IT and an executive of Ulryeok Hwihak, I should have taken responsibility and avoided causing such a problem. By plagiarizing two crews at once, I felt that the executives of WORTH IT and Ulryeok Hwihak must be suffering so much that I cannot even imagine how deeply hurt and disappointed they must be. Even if I put myself in their shoes for a moment, I believe that plagiarism is truly wrong, yet since I committed this wrongdoing, I want to express my sincere apologies. Furthermore, this is not the first time this has happened to you, and I cannot imagine how many more times you must be going through this pain; it must be truly agonizing. I feel a deep sense of guilt knowing that I am inflicting further pain on those who are already struggling with various difficulties. I apologize once again to those who must have been deeply disappointed. I take full responsibility for my mistake of plagiarizing both WORTH IT and Ullyeok Hwihak at once. I will accept all disciplinary actions imposed by the executives of WORTH IT and Ullyeok Hwihak, and even while serving my punishment, I will deeply reflect on and repent for this incident. I will reflect on how much emotional distress and hardship the victims must be going through, constantly mulling over every situation. I will leave WORTH IT, Ullyeok Hwihak, and Joeun Academy, which is associated with Ullyeok Hwihak. I have been expelled from WORTH IT and stripped of my leadership position at Ullyeok Hwihak due to disciplinary action; since this is the punishment I deserve, I have accepted the discipline without complaint. Finally, I once again bow my head in apology to Kim Seok-ryu, Mirungji, Bangtannaesarang, Shin Yeo-ju, Siljang, Saint Laurent, Jue, the WORTH IT COMPANY crew members, the Ullyeok Hwihak cadets, and everyone else who has suffered harm because of me. Although it ended badly, I hope everyone stays healthy. Thank you for everything, and I am truly sorry.
