'I'm SOLO LIVE' season 31 contestant Sun-ja spoke bluntly about the parts that made her uncomfortable in that setting.
On the 28th, Chonjang Entertainment TV streamed a live broadcast as a post-broadcast review of 'I'm SOLO' season 31. In season 31, regarding Sun-ja, Ok-sun, Jeong-hee and Young-suk's treatment of Sun-ja as if she were invisible and their other behaviors became controversial and drew the ire of internet users.
Young-suk apologized, saying, "I was so immersed that I focused on emotions," "I should have offered to help when Sun-ja was making breakfast alone, I should have asked if she was okay when she went to the hospital, I thought that. I'm sorry to Sun-ja."
Ok-sun said, "Regarding the 'apology' many people are curious about, I heard about it before the broadcast and learned about it after the broadcast, so I apologized. But I did not receive a reply. I thought this shouldn't be resolved by only presenting my side. I thought I should see her face and talk," she said.
Jeong-hee also apologized to Sun-ja once more.
Hearing this, Sun-ja said, "First, after returning from filming I went to the batch reunion and a group message room for the women was created. But the room was named 'Girls talk,'" and "It was not pleasant for me when they asked me light and rude questions like 'Are you still seeing him?' about my relationship with Kyung-su." She later said that while watching episode 1 together, she spoke to Jeong-hee, who was with her, about the discomfort she felt during filming.
Sun-ja said, "And even a cast member not related to that incident criticized me, saying, 'Aren't you being too sensitive? Why bring this up here and ruin the mood?'" and "Then should I pretend I didn't experience what I did in this group? I felt I had become an uncomfortable presence in that circle." However, Sun-ja said, "Afterward I received a sincere apology from Jeong-hee. I felt Jeong-hee's remarks then were not about me but simple agreement, and I sensed no malice, so I resolved the matter."
After episode 5, Ok-sun and Young-suk said, "Young-suk asked, 'Da-eun, are you okay mentally?' and Ok-sun said, 'What is going on? I think sister misunderstood something. If she was hurt by hearing only one person's story, I'm sorry,'" they conveyed, but Sun-ja said, "I think there was plenty of time to apologize after appearing on Solo Nation, yet I thought they did not reflect on themselves until then. They only saw our alarms and did not read the messages," adding, "This is something we should resolve personally," and requested with thanks that people refrain from excessive criticism.
Ok-sun explained, "I really learned about it for the first time then. I will try to help season 31 become healthy by making an effort," and Young-suk explained, "After episode 5 ended I asked Sun-ja if she was okay because even small actions after the broadcast are magnified when asking," "I went home right after watching the broadcast and didn't know about that situation," but Sun-ja did not comment further.
