'Heart Signal 4' manipulation, PPL suspicion clarification
'Heart Signal 4' manipulation, PPL suspicion clarification
Channel A's 'Heart Signal 4' revealed its position on the timeline manipulation and PPL allegations.

On the 5th, 'Heart Signal 4' said about the manipulation of the timeline, "The suspicion is that the scene after Mingyu and Jimin's 'Marathon Date' was called 'before the date'. It matches the emotional line of the performer. In the process of adding subtitles, there was a misunderstanding in notation of the date, and Monday was marked as Tuesday due to a mistake in the subtitle.”

Previously, suspicions of manipulating the timeline of 'Heart Signal 4' were swept around the online community. According to the claim of some netizens, Shin Min-gyu went on a marathon date with Kim Ji-min and was worried about not receiving text messages from Kim Ji-min.

The production team acknowledged the mistake of subtitle marking and said, “We will try to include the date of move-in in the flashback necessary to understand the performer’s emotional line in the future. I will be more careful.”

There was also a suspicion that the hand cream that the Hankyoreh gave to Kim Ji-young was PPL. The reason was that the product was on the production support list at the end of the broadcast.

Regarding this, the production team denied, "It is true that the filming location was cooperated after consulting with the Hankyoreh, but the gift was purchased by the Hankyoreh's own will."

The production crew continued, “The performers themselves think about and decide on the date location, and they pay for the date and gift themselves. However, if it is difficult for a performer to find a place they want, there are sometimes cases in which the performer is consulted with the performer to cooperate with the location.
