After Kim Saeng Min has apologized for a past sexual harassment incident, Korea's broadcasting companies are in a turmoil as he is starring or hosting more than ten programs currently.

On April 2, his sexual harassment case emerged which happened ten years ago. A media released an article about an incident that happened in 2008. According to the media, there are two victims of which one got a apology from Kim while the other did not receive any apology.

After that, Kim has issued an official statement through his agency SM C&C that read: "This is Kim Saeng Min. I am very apologetic to disappoint you with disgraceful news. 10 years ago, I took a wrong behavior at the drinking party for a program I was starring in.”

“At that time, I did not recognize that the person was hurted, and I recently heard about it. I know it is too late, but I personally met that her and made apology with my head bowed for my embarrassing and lacking actions in the past. My heart is so heavy and I am only apologetic when I think about that individual who has been hurt by my lacking actions. I once again express my sincere apologies".

But as Kim was at the peak of heyday in 20 years after debut, programs he was starring are in panic. As he made apology and admitted the harassment, producers are worried about the future of the programs.
