Producer Jeong Hyo-min of 'Sex + Character' expressed his apologies for asking MC Shin Dong-yeop to leave 'Animal Farm'.
On the 2nd, I met PD Hyo-min Jeong and PD In-sik Kim, who directed Netflix's 'Sex + Characters', at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul.
'Sex + People' is a talk variety show in which MCs Shin Dong-yeop and Sung Si-kyung explore the unknown world of sex and characters in the adult culture industry. The 6th Japanese episode was released on April 25th.
‘Sex + People’, classified as 19+ content, includes interviews with current AV actors and visits to adult product shops. Some netizens have called on Shin Dong-yeop, who hosts SBS's 'TV Animal Farm' and tvN's 'Amazing Saturday', to step down. The reason is that Shin Dong-yup, who appears in 'TV Animal Farm', a program watched by the whole family, and 'Amazing Saturday', which is mainly watched by teenage viewers, was inappropriate to appear in 'Sex + People', a 19+ content.
PD Jeong said, “It is positive and enjoyable for me to see various stories related to the program and discussions about sex.” He then expressed his regret, saying, "I think there can be pros and cons about the MCs, but I feel very sorry for Shin Dong-yeop." He also confessed, "The responsibility for the program lies with the production team. It is a pity for the MC that the show is not live, but is being edited and there is talk of leaving 'Animal Farm.'" Producer Jeong, who went to Taiwan last week to film, said, "We actually couldn't talk about that in Taiwan. We only talked about the program and Taiwan and filmed on a quick schedule (I didn't feel comfortable)."
