As the background of participant Li Won of the Wave queer entertainment program "Your Love" has been revealed, including a history of adult broadcasting, suspicions have arisen that inappropriate proposals were made to her.
On the 4th, the production team of "Your Love" stated through their official account, "There have been various opinions regarding the controversy related to the program, particularly concerning the editing of specific participants, and we would like to clarify the production team's position. First of all, we are fully aware of and empathize with the voices of viewers requesting the complete removal of the controversial participant."
The production team noted, "We are listening to concerns about the relationships between the participants and the fear that it could affect the program's development. Claims of collusion or biased editing intentions between the production team and the participants are not true, and we hope that this content does not spread or expand as if it were factual."
They further explained, "The production team is currently readjusting the editing direction to fundamentally remove scenes featuring the participant in question. However, since 'Your Love' is based on a narrative structure where the emotions and relationships between participants are intricately interwoven, some scenes are connected to the individual narratives of other participants."
The production team stated, "In this case, scenes where the context and portion of the participant must be preserved may be limited to exposure with prior consent and confirmation from the participants. This adjustment has been carried out in consultation with the participants, and subsequent editing will proceed cautiously to avoid undermining the narrative flow."
Regarding the delay in this decision, the production team emphasized, "We needed careful consideration and time to coordinate the consent process while fully taking into account the positions and feelings of all participants, and we have no intention of favoring or maliciously treating specific participants." Furthermore, they added that disclosing information on social media without consent is a contract violation and that "appropriate follow-up actions will be taken according to the seriousness of the mentioned content."
Meanwhile, Wave's original entertainment show "Your Love" is a program that documents the romantic reality of lesbian women and first aired on the 25th of last month. However, after the premiere, it was revealed that participant Li Won had previously been a BJ running adult internet broadcasts, and claims have emerged that she is not actually a homosexual. In response, Li Won left a personal statement acknowledging her past as a BJ, but denied the allegations of being heterosexual.
In this context, another participant, Han Gyeol, revealed through her personal account that she received inappropriate proposals from Li Won. According to her disclosure, Han Gyeol said, "I received a proposal to go overseas together, which I initially understood as a simple travel invitation. But as the details became more specific, such as accompanying on dinner dates, I recognized it was an inappropriate proposal crossing the line. Therefore, I clearly communicated my intent to refuse."
Han Gyeol stated, "I would also like to mention that I am not the only one who received similar proposals. The false claim that I have moved on from my past should not be used as a mask to easily manipulate sexual orientation related to this industry."
In relation to this, Li Won strongly refuted the claims, stating, "The part about 'overseas schedules' mentioned by her was simply a humorous conversation exchanged about our similar food preferences during filming, suggesting we travel to that country. It was a simple promise made in front of the camera." As the controversy continued, "Your Love" canceled its broadcast on the 2nd and began restructuring the program.
