Ousted South Korean President Park Geun-hye has denied any wrongdoing, making her first public statement since being removed from office over a massive corruption scandal.

 

In a statement read out by a member of her political party on Sunday, Park said, "Although it will take time, I believe the truth will certainly come out."

 

She also expressed gratitude to her supporters and apologized for "failing to fulfill my duty as president."
