This afternoon (31st), the SBS Plus/ENA entertainment 'I Am Solo' production team posted a statement on the YouTube channel 'Chunjang Entertainment TV' regarding the controversy over the quietness of the 23rd cast.
The production team said, "We are sorry for causing concern to the viewers," adding, "In the first broadcast of the 23rd episode on October 30, suspicions about the criminal history of the "I Am Solo" cast 13 years ago arose in the online community, and the production team recognized the importance of the issue and will broadcast it so that viewers will not feel uncomfortable."
"The production team is asking the performers to submit various materials after in-depth interviews to filter out various criminal histories to unsavory past acts that are difficult to accept socially when verifying the performers," he said. "I feel responsible for the problem of the performers despite this process and I am sorry."
"The production team feels grateful and responsible to the viewers who strictly verify and warn the cast through this," he said. "We will carefully select and carefully produce performers in the future so that we can repay the affectionate attention."
After the 23rd broadcast of "I Am Solo" on the 30th, controversy over Jung-sook's past history emerged.
It is claimed that Jung-sook is the same person as Park, who was reported in the news after being suspected of stealing under the guise of prostitution in the past. After joining the chat site,
Park opened a chat room saying, "I will arrange a conditional meeting with the flight attendant," and introduced men, later met at a motel, stole money, and ran away while the man was in the shower.In
{I'm Solo}, a photo of Jung-sook's data, who said she won the Popularity Award by participating in the 2010 Gwangju-Jeonnam Miss Korea qualifying round, and a photo of Park's news release in the past were the same, drawing suspicion.
