On the 3rd, Ok-soon disclosed through her SNS a lengthy apology along with portions of the group KakaoTalk room for the female cast members. Regarding the ‘Girl Talk’ controversy, she again expressed an apology, saying, “I am sorry for causing discomfort to many people.”

Earlier, in a live broadcast held on the 28th of last month, Sun-ja shared the discomfort she felt concerning the female cast group chat after filming ended. Sun-ja said, “The chat room name was even ‘Girl Talk’,” and, “In ‘Solonara’, there were so many moments when ‘Girl Talk’ was used as a pretext to make things hard for me that I felt uncomfortable, and it was not pleasant to receive light and rude questions about my relationship with Kyung-soo.”

In response, through the post she made public, Ok-soon explained, “The ‘Girl Talk’ chat room was created to set up plans among the cast and coordinate schedules,” and, “It was not an atmosphere of shunning a particular person or treating anyone rudely.” She also stated, “I conveyed an apology even after the live broadcast.”
