On the 5th of June, Shin’s agency, Light Culture House, released a statement regarding the news that ” Shin Sung Hoon’s life was saved through the report of the co-directorship dispute. Discussions are underway for resuming activities.”
The agency stated, “Park Jae-seon, who participated as the co-director for ‘Thank You for the Jajangmyeon’ and ‘God’s Choice’, reported to the police and went to Shin’s house at 3:40 am.” It was revealed that Director Shin attempted a drastic choice but failed.
