During the court hearing, Lee Seo Won's attorney stated, "There is no room for excuses or denial for the charges of sexual harassment or threatening. We admit (the defendant's) wrongdoings. However, the defendant does not remember anything (from the incident)."

The attorney confirmed that Lee Seo Won was pleading guilty to all charges, but requesting a lenient sentence in light of his diminished mental/physical faculties at the time.
