Below is the full text of the statement by artist Gye-Ok Park.

This is Park Gye-ok, the author of the Joseon-gu masseur.

I sincerely apologize for causing deep concern to viewers over the past few days with my unconcerned writing.

As a writer who stands at the forefront of planning and preparing for the drama, despite having to show a better story by reflecting on past mistakes, I rather gave viewers anger and fatigue with my unskilled and immature judgment. I apologize again.

Despite having to show sufficient respect for the founding heroes of Joseon, who left a big mark in history, they are also greatly reflecting on the point that they made easy judgments based on the genre of fantasy.

The intentional distortion of history, which many viewers were concerned about and worried about, was never intended to be ugly, but as a result, the point that left a deep wound on you will also be remembered and will not be forgotten.

Directors, actors, and staff who have done their best to make a good drama in the field. Also, I bow my head and apologize to the production and broadcasting companies.

Once again, I apologize with all my heart to the viewers.
