In the video, he is filming himself mutilating his own body, stating that he “cut off his innocent pinky finger.”

Promises I broke thousands of times to myself, countless promises I failed to keep to family, friends, acquaintances, and colleagues, and the unfulfilled promise I made to my father. I hated this pinky finger that made all those unfilled promises, so I cut it off.

He added, “I will turn this crisis into an opportunity and find my original self from two years ago. Let’s pull myself together. This is my last chance.”

Following the controversy that followed after the video was posted, he apologized.

I am truly sorry for posting a video in which I abuse my own body. This video was not intended to threaten anyone or imply suicide, but rather to engrave a resolution for my own wrongful life. I am currently regaining my composure and receiving treatment and support from my family.

— Jang Dong Ju

Meanwhile, he previously held a live broadcast after retiring without telling his agency.
