When counseling expert and broadcaster Professor Lee Ho-seon stepped down after the first episode of the Disney+ variety show 'Fate War 49', he communicated with the public through social media, and this time he once again expressed his position and bowed his head.
Professor Lee recently mentioned the word "self-reproach" on his social media and confessed, "Only after it started did I realize this was not my path to take." He went on, "I have constantly thought about the boundary between counseling and shamanism, but through this experience I learned I need to be more cautious," showing a moment of self-reflection.
This was interpreted as indirectly revealing the dissonance he felt between the program's concept and his own values when he appeared on the Disney+ variety show 'Fate War 49'. In particular, he had emphasized, "As a lifelong Christian, I have lived conscious of God's view," and "Counseling is about helping a client's life, not about definitively determining fate."
Amid this, when controversy and some viewer reactions continued regarding the counseling he conducted, the professor again delivered an apology and explanation via social media. He said, "There seem to be people who are hurt," and added, "I do my best in lectures and counseling, but if anyone was hurt in the process, I will be more careful."
He also stressed his sense of vocation about his profession, saying, "Counseling is not a way to make money but a process of giving artificial respiration to souls and lives," and added, "There may be misunderstandings from joking or single-session counseling, but I will approach it more cautiously."
At the time Professor Lee said, "I will stay sharp and study more." This time as well, he immediately apologized for the controversy and stepped back. His consistent communication with the public to preserve his identity has drawn attention.
