(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Kim Min-ji = While ‘Ex-Convict’ became controversial due to abuse of power by staff and nuisance filming, the production team apologized for this.

We sincerely apologize.”He expressed his intention to apologize.

The production team said, “While filming ‘Ex-Convict’, we are trying our best to not cause any inconvenience to students when participating in classes at the university or using school facilities. However, in the process of using the same space as students during this filming at Korea University, traffic and school use were limited. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

He continued, “In the case of outdoor spaces, we do not block traffic, but in the case of narrow indoor shooting, we ask for permission for a while and control it to prevent crowds from gathering for student safety reasons. However, when filming this Korea University student cafeteria, there was a sudden large crowd in a limited space. He explained how the noise came out, saying, “We temporarily restricted traffic due to safety issues such as crowds of stairs, causing inconvenience to users.”

In addition, “In order to capture as realistic a picture of students as possible as college students, we asked those who cheered for the contestants or asked them to take pictures to refrain as much as possible. If there were any people who felt uncomfortable with the words and actions of our production team, we would like to politely apologize about this.””We apologize, and we apologize belatedly to anyone who may have experienced any inconvenience, not only during this Korea University filming, but also during previous filming at many universities.”

Lastly, he emphasized, “I know very well that no matter what the reason for filming, traffic or college life should not be disrupted, so I will become a member of the ‘Ex-Convict’ production team that strives to further improve these aspects during the filming process in the future.”

On the 5th, the production team of ‘Ex-Convict’ released a video from Korea University’s philosophy department. At this time, a netizen who identified himself as a student at Korea University said, “Personally, I don’t understand the behavior of the staff when an ex-convict was filming at Korea University.”They claimed, “They stopped students who were trying to use the student center and told them not to talk to each other.” He continued, “The extent of the staff’s behavior was worse than expected, and the students were restrained so severely that it was unpleasant.”He continued, “The students who go to school and live their school life normally come first, and this filming will never come first.”After saying, “I think so,” he demanded an apology.

Afterwards, sympathizing comments were posted on the video. As time passed and the controversy grew, the production team belatedly apologized for this.
