On this day, Jeon Jong-seo addressed her attendance at the official event following the bullying allegations, stating, "As I previously clarified through my agency, the allegations are completely untrue. If they were true, I wouldn't be able to confidently present my work in front of the public and the press. It's truly regrettable to be caught up in such matters. I am committed to healing those who have been hurt through my future activities and am working diligently with my agency to resolve this issue. However, today is about introducing 'Queen Woo,' so I kindly ask for your understanding and focus on the series."
