K-drama actor Kim Jung-hyun, who was embroiled in a scandal involving his ex-lover, actress Seo Yea-ji, earlier this year, has finally broken his silence.

In a lengthy Instagram post on Saturday (Sept 25), the Crash Landing On You actor wrote: "The past few months have felt as if I was floating without knowing where the floor was. I had been busy trying to urge myself on and I felt empty, as if I had no place to rest my heart."
