JAKARTA - Actor Jin Ha released an apology after the controversy became a conversation. His name became known after starring in the Pachinko series which aired last week on Apple TV+.

Previously, netizens found that Jin Ha had a blog site containing 90 photos of middle-aged Korean women. Titled “Korean Flowers in Bloom”, the photos of the woman were taken in a candid format or without consent.

Jin Ha also added some sexually suggestive photo captions. One of them is “Working with a provocative model, I find it difficult to contain my lust.”

Saturday, March 26, Jin Ha wrote an apology regarding his blog via the official website. He has also deleted the blog by sending a request to Tumblr.

“The Tumblr Korean Flowers in Bloom account created from 2011 should not have been created. This is an invasion of middle-aged women's privacy and my photo caption is inappropriate," Jin Ha explained.

"I regret what I did and I'm sorry for that. I also sincerely apologize to the woman I photographed," he said.

He also closed his Instagram and Twitter accounts and thanked the public. Jin Ha promised something like this would never happen again.

"I will work hard to learn from this mistake so I don't repeat it," said Jin Ha.

Jin Ha plays Solomon Baek in the series Pachinko. The series, which was adapted from Min Jin Lee's novel, tells the life of a woman named Sunja who has been an immigrant in Japan for four generations.
