ENA Play, SBS Plus love reality program ‘I’m Solo’ 14th cast member Yeong-cheol expressed his dissatisfaction with the production team.
On the 3rd, Youngchul explained the situation at the time when the controversy over his private life arose, saying, “I am an extremely ordinary person. When my personal problems came up during the broadcast, I was shocked and terrified.”
He continued, “Since the day the problem occurred, the production team has been contacted to confirm the facts, and after confirming the evidence and facts, we have been discussing with the production team about countermeasures since then. “The conclusion reached was to proceed with the broadcast, and not to post any position announcements or posts from my side,” he added.
Youngchul said, “The day before the last episode aired, I had an agreement with the writer to attend a live broadcast, but after that time, speculative articles about me, which hadn’t been reported for a month, started pouring in. My hands were shaking and I was afraid. I couldn’t even read the articles,” he said.
However, Youngchul changed his mind to attend the live broadcast. Regarding this, he said, “I made up my mind to attend the broadcast with the thought that if I don’t gather up my courage now, I will never have another chance, and I want to express my own position and finish well.”
Youngchul also criticized the production team’s response. He said, “If I was worried about the controversy, I would have felt more comfortable if I had decided to edit the whole thing.” “I wonder if my controversy was a good publicity material for the production team. It seems,” he said.
Previously, through an online community, Mr. A, who claimed to be Yeong-cheol’s ex-fiancé, claimed Yeong-cheol’s assault and fraud under the pretense of marriage, causing controversy. In the midst of this, the live broadcast of ‘I’m Solo’, which was scheduled for the 31st of last month, was suddenly replaced with a recording, further intensifying the controversy.
In the live broadcast video that was released later, Youngchul said, “I talked to the production team to not respond because it was not true. If I had responded, the production team’s efforts would have been in vain,” he said.
