In a prime-time TV interview late Monday, the victim, Kim Ji-eun, also said she will file a complaint against An. Local police began investigating the case Tuesday.
"I feel very sorry to all ... Above all, I am deeply sorry to Ms. Kim Ji-eun, who has suffered because of me," An wrote on Facebook. He added that his office's reported claim that the sexual relationship was consensual was "false."
"I seek forgiveness for my silly action. It is all my fault," he added.
An, seen as a potential presidential candidate, said he would suspend all of his political activities.
The revelations came amid the fast spread of the Me Too campaign in education, culture, arts and other sectors.
