All these years I put my silence in order, and I put my thoughts in order.

"I felt guilty that I didn't see, didn't realize the hand that she was giving me, and made the thirteenth statement. It is a record of things that should never happen again and the regret of how we couldn't go on with our dreams". She claimed, "This is a record of truth for me and her. She introduced the book saying she hopes the truth that was hidden behind lies finally gets to see the light of day. "The 13th Statement" is a record of 10 years revealed by Yoon Ji-oh, the only witness to the Jang Ja-yeon case. "The 13th Statement", which was released on the 5th, and is subtitled "March 7th, 2009 The After", deals with the suspicion of the investigation process on the 'Jang Ja-yeon list' at that time. The late actress Jang Ja-yeon's colleague actress Yoon Ji-oh has come forward to give an open statement. Thus, at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, the case is re-invested 9 years after the investigation was concluded. After receiving more than 200,000 approvals, the secretary of Blue House's Anti-Corruption Commission, Park Hyung Chul responded, "Whether or not the term of prosecution ends, I hope that the Investigation and Prosecution Committee of the Ministry of Justice will do their best to clarify the suspicion of loose investigation in the past." Next, the Prosecutor Committee filed a petition for re-investigation. In June 2018, two months before the prosecution deadline came, people sent a petition to Blue House calling for the clarification of Jang Ja Yeon's death. However, only the director and manager of the former agency of Jang Ja Yeon were tried and more than 10 influential people related to this incident were absolved from the guilt but still leave a lot of doubt. In Jang Ja Yeon's letter, she mentioned sexual bribery and drinking with 31 people more than 100 times, including those from major credit finance businesses, entertainment companies or representatives of organs, etc. Police concluded at the time that she took her own life due to depression, but they later reopened the case and arrested Jang’s agent, accusing him of forcing Jang to perform sexual favors. Jang was found hanging at her home on March 7, 2009, with a handwritten note that read, “I am a powerless actress.

An inquiry team under the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office is scheduled to announce in late March the results of its reinvestigation into the case of actress Jang Ja-yeon, who died 10 years ago after saying she had been sexually abused by influential people in the media, entertainment and business.
