On January 8, Ko Kyoung Pyo updated his Instagram with a new post.
In his post, accompanied by a photo of himself holding a pastry, Ko Kyoung Pyo wrote, "Since matters completely unrelated to me have brought me into the spotlight, I thought I'd use this chance to share some good news. It'd be a shame to waste all this attention. Turn a crisis into an opportunity, and an opportunity into something even bigger!"
He went on to announce the completion of filming for the first feature film produced by his company, Filmer, saying, "We've finished filming our first full-length movie. After editing and exploring a few more ideas, I'll make sure everything is ready so we can meet in theaters soon."
Ko Kyoung Pyo also shared plans for various new projects after that, saying, "I'm currently filming two television shows. Some of you might already know the titles, but I hope they'll be a fun surprise when they're announced. I'll do my best to make them as fun and exciting as possible. Plus, in February, I'm planning a busking event with some amazing singers, so stay tuned!"
He then expressed his gratitude to those who stayed level-headed during the controversy.
"I was truly touched to see so many people approach this with common sense and not get swayed. I'll handle this matter thoroughly, not just to clear things up, but to set an example of justice. I'll respond firmly to those who choose to stoop so low."
At that time, Ko Kyung Pyo's agency clarified that the rumors were false and announced plans to take strict legal action with no leniency.
Ko Kyoung Pyo himself addressed the situation on Instagram, posting a Story that read, "Don't worry. I'm not crazy like that. Let's see how things play out for those people."
