The following is the statement that came up on Jung Ryeo-won's SNS.

Hello, this is Jung Ryeo-won who was overwhelmingly happy because of Yi-deum. I wanted to make a great speech without shaking on stage but I didn't and I didn't get to thank all those I wanted to thank.

First of all, thank you everyone for your love for "Witch's Court".

The subject of sexual crime from "Witch's Court" is as common as the flu, but is very well hidden. I heard this is the only crime that victims don't report due to humiliation. I hope laws on sexual crime are enforced so that the attackers can be properly punished and I hope it becomes a society in which victims can speak out.

I didn't know much myself about that. Thank you, writer Jeong Do-yoon for touching we actors to be brave enough to talk about it. Directors Kim Yeong-gyoon, Baek Sang-hoon, CP Ji Byeong-hyeon, and CP Kang Byeong-ta, you are all the best.

Thank you for the good vibes you gave us throughout the drama.

To the rest of the family, Kim Yeo-jin and Jun Kwang-ryul you make me want to be a better senior. Hyeon-min, you did it all and I mean it. You were so true and I was happy. You are the best partner anyone could wish for. To all the special appearances, you did your best and your energy thrived us to do better.

Kim Dasom, Seulgi, Kyeong-mi, Oh-sung, Yoon-mi, Soon-heol, Hong Min-gi, Sang-seok, Sin Pil-soon, Sunny, Key East, and all of you, thank you.

Soo-mi, thanks for being my role model to make Yi-deum more Yi-deum like and Ji-eun, Dam-bi, thank you. Ye-seul you did a good job and I know you must have been tired too but thanks for praying for me. Let's go on vacation, I'll pay for everything. My friends who held my hand and watched the drama with me (Soy, Moa, Nam-hoon, Ji-yoon, Jae-hwan, Hyo-jin and Won-kyeong, thank you!) My mom, aunt and my family from the church, I love you.

Lastly, I would like to give this honor to God.

Now I can finally let go of Yi-deum. Thank you everyone, I hope 2018 is a great one for you.
