KBS responded to singer Park Seo-jin’s petition to drop out of “Salimnam,” which was embroiled in controversy over military exemption.
On the 27th, KBS2’s “Guys Who Live” (hereinafter referred to as “Guys Who Live”) production team posted an answer to Park Seo-jin’s petition on the KBS viewer’s petition board, saying, “Thank you for your sincere writing about the cast member Park Seo-jin.”
Salimnam is a public broadcasting KBS program that belongs to the entertainment genre, but it is always producing while contemplating the social responsibility of broadcasting. Therefore, we are very sorry for the controversy,” he said.
“As already reported through various media, the word ‘avoidance of military service’ does not appear to be appropriate when actor Park Seo-jin was exempted from military service due to legitimate reasons through several physical examinations. In addition, the controversial interview was also explained and apologized through Park Seo-jin’s own post. The main content of “The Men Who Live” is the weight and responsibility of being the head of a family rather than the glamorous appearance of a celebrity on stage, he explained.
In addition, ‘Salimnam’ said, “Park Seo-jin, who has joined as a Salimnam since January, was not only responsible for the livelihood of his family by doing sea work on behalf of his parents who have been fighting cancer since childhood, but also suffered a very tragic family history of losing two brothers in a row. The reason for military exemption was also attributed to diseases arising from this growth process,” he said.
“Although I couldn’t be honest in the controversial interview, I confessed to our production team about the reason for military exemption before appearing on ‘Salim Nam’, and our production team watched the treatment process for a year. Singer Park Seo-jin’s appearance on stage, which is reflected through various contents, is a colorful celebrity, but our production team, which observes the daily life and inner side of the cast, often sees a young man in his 20s who is still growing up over the adversity of life, which is quite different from his appearance on stage. And I would like to sincerely capture this process and give sympathy, comfort, and support to viewers who are experiencing another life’s hardships,” he wrote.
In addition, he added, “We will continue to try to capture the daily lives of the performers in a more responsible manner as much as the attention sent by many viewers due to this controversy.”
In addition, the production team wrote in another petition, “The part of military service is a very important and sensitive issue for the Korean people, but evidence on Park Seo-jin’s reason for exemption from military service has already been reported in various media. Our production team is also sorry for the failure to accurately reveal the part in advance, he said. “There will be no suspension of appearance due to this.”
In addition, “We have been exempted from military service for legal reasons, and our production team cannot know much about our relationship with fans and about reporters and fans who have received help in the past, but we believe that this has not revealed any moral and legal problems enough to decide whether to appear on our program,” he said. “Our production team is always grateful and pledges to do our best to show you more sincerity.”
Earlier, it was belatedly known that Park Seo-jin was exempted from military service, and the agency said, “Park Seo-jin was exempted from military service in his early 20s due to mental illness caused by family deaths.”
Park Seo-jin confessed on various broadcasts in the past that his two brothers, who suffered from chronic renal failure and liver cancer, died one after another, and even his mother was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. However, Park Seo-jin, who was exempted from military service in his early 20s, was embroiled in a controversy over his lies after it was revealed that he made remarks in an interview that seemed to be about to join the military.
In the end, Park Seo-jin said on his fan cafe, “I’m just sorry to say hello with the news that caused you concern,” and explained, “I was judged as a 7th-grade re-examination in November 2014, and after several re-examinations, I was finally judged as a 5th-grade wartime worker in 2018.”
In a past interview, it was difficult to say that he had already been exempted from military service when asked, “I’m about to join the military soon, and what is my goal in the future?” Therefore, he answered that his goal was a hit song that he had always dreamed of. I didn’t expect this answer to be this big, he said, bending his head down, saying, “I once again apologize to everyone who felt disappointed by this.”
