“Apology tells me”… ‘Seolganghwa’ starring Jisoo and Jung Hae-in faced a big crisis even before the broadcast

Drama’Snow Ganghwa’ raised suspicion of history distortion

Product sponsor withdraws sponsorship

The drama’Seolganghwa’ (tentative title), in which suspicion of historical distortion was raised, fell into a crisis.

On the 26th, Heungil Furniture, who is known to sponsor products for the JTBC drama’Seolganghwa’, announced that it would withdraw the product sponsorship.

Heungil Furniture side said, “I was belatedly exposed to the issue of’Snow Ganghwa’ sponsorship that was posted on the community site recently,” and said, “I am trying to express my position on him.”

He said, “At the time of request for sponsorship from the sponsoring agency, we did not receive detailed prior notice in the drama script.” In addition, he said, “Because there is no manpower to review and proceed in detail, we responded to the drama product sponsorship without major review.”

Heungil Furniture explained, “There was no financial gain or sponsorship in this process.” He continued, “Therefore, I will ask Seol Ganghwa to delete the furniture sponsorship-related matter and delete it from the list of sponsored dramas listed on the homepage.”

He also said, “Because it is a pre-production drama, 100% product withdrawal is impossible, so we will ask for minimal exposure,” he said. “I apologize for the sponsorship without paying close attention to the drama production company before the sponsorship.” I finished writing.

‘Seolganghwa’ is a drama about the desperate love story of a prestigious university student Suho, who suddenly jumped into a female dorm with blood in the background in Seoul in 1987, and a female university student Youngcho who hid and healed him even in a crisis.

However, when a male student who was in the democratization movement found out that the story was a spy, netizens argued that the drama was overly distorted and insulted the anniversary of the May 18 Democratization Movement.
