Actor Gang Dong-won apologized for the issues about his pro-Japanese ancestor.

Gang Dong-won started with the words, "I apologize for my pro-Japanese great-grandfather who caused all this".

"I have been brought up hearing stories about my great-grandfather. My grandmother was the offspring of independence patriots so her stories were always natural to me. During the interview I had in 2007, I didn't recognize my great-grandfather's mistakes. I apologize again".

"I am embarrassed by this; the fact that I didn't understand what was wrong, the fact that my ancestor caused this issue and the fact that I couldn't deal with it in time. I will do what I can do to fix this and I apologize once again".
