Controversy over sexually transmitted diseases erupted, but I don't know about 'I'm single'

I guess I thought I had to broadcast it, that there was no clear solution, and that criticism was pouring in, so I had to apologize. I am in a situation where I am laughing at the meaningless apology from the production team of 'I am SOLO' (hereinafter referred to as 'I am Solo'). Rather than editing out a performer who was embroiled in controversy for carrying a sexually transmitted disease, the production team went as far as to accuse the main character of being a 'demon man'. Don't they know that in a situation where the truth is unknown, both the person who revealed the story and the actor who is pointed out as the perpetrator will only be hurt? In the end, the only ones laughing are the production crew.

Recently, on an online community, a post was posted by Mr. A revealing that he was infected with the herpes type 2 virus by Mr. B, a man in his late 30s who is appearing in the 13th season of 'I'm Solo'. If you are infected with the herpes type 2 virus, you will experience symptoms such as headache, fever, and blisters, and it will recur every time your immunity decreases, making a complete cure impossible.

Mr. A recognized that he had contracted a sexually transmitted disease in November 2020 after having sexual intercourse with Mr. B and had a conversation with Mr. B, but Mr. B stood by without admitting the mistake and claimed that he suddenly announced a breakup. did. In addition, the results of the obstetrics and gynecology examination and a photo of the jacket worn by Mr. B at the time were released.

Due to Mr. A's expose, the real name and face of Mr. B, who is alleged to be a man with a sexually transmitted disease, spread rapidly through the community.

However, the production team remained silent for five days, saying, “We are verifying the facts.” I asked for his stance again, but he took the stance that he had nothing to say about the issue. However, as the broadcast was approaching, only then did he post a shallow apology.

“We regret this controversy. In the future, the production team will create the program more carefully and thoughtfully so that viewers do not experience any inconvenience while watching 'I am Solo'. “We will do our best to broadcast while taking into account the perspectives of all the participants involved in filming.”

It's a perfunctory apology that doesn't say anything about what's regrettable, how to make it thoughtful, or what position the performer will take into consideration. Here, he conveyed Mr. B's position on behalf of him and said, "The bulletin board post is different from the facts. I will hold you accountable for the defamation caused by false information."

In the end, it was not revealed whether Mr. A's revelation was true or false. This is because Mr. A claim that he contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and Mr. B counters by saying that this is not true. However, the controversy does not disappear just because Mr. B did not acknowledge the facts.

The production team of 'I'm Solo' chose to press ahead with the broadcast under these circumstances. Of course, if what Mr. B said is true, it may be unfair for him to be edited out, but this was a choice that did not take into account Mr. A's position at all. Moreover, the production team devoted the most time to the controversial cast and made them the main characters of season 13.

It must have been difficult for the production team as well. You won't be able to edit or delete the broadcast just by listening to Mr. A's words. However, Namollarasik's apology and My Way broadcast are a disappointing response.
