The drama "Shining" apologized for the controversy over drunk and hangover driving.

JTBC's Friday drama "Shining" said to Star News on the 31st, "We humbly accept related comments and will pay special attention to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future."

In the 8th episode of JTBC's Friday drama "Shining," which aired earlier, Bae Sung-chan (Shin Jae-ha) said, "I can't drive anyway" and "I'll go quietly at dawn when I wake up." However, Bae Sung-chan, who witnessed Yeon Tae-seo (Park Jin-young), the lover of Mo In-ah in the past, immediately drove a vehicle and left.

As a result, it was pointed out that it was a scene reminiscent of drinking and driving a hangover, and one viewer filed a complaint with the Korea Communications Standards Commission regarding the scene.

The complainant pointed out, "The broadcast of this case is very problematic in that it is configured to be consumed as a means of narrative tension and emotional conflict without clearly recognizing it as an object of caution while repeatedly directing scenes that can be accepted as driving after drinking or driving a hangover."

Meanwhile, "Shining," starring Park Jin-young and Kim Min-ju, is a drama about young people who shared their own worlds becoming a light that shines on each other's beliefs and directions of life. It airs every Friday at 8:50 p.m.
