The production team of "Fate War 49" eventually bowed its head to the controversy over desecration of firefighters on duty.

The production team of the Disney+ entertainment show "Fate War 49" said in an official press release on the 20th, "I deeply respect the sacrifice and beliefs of firefighter Kim Chul-hong, who changed his name while devoted to protecting the people, and I also express my sincere condolences to the bereaved family."

"Starting with the question of whether one can read the fate of a person, various lives and deaths would be introduced for the purpose of the program, so I wanted to use it as an opportunity to reflect on the meaningful and sublime story," he said, explaining why he chose Kim Chul-hong's story.

Prior to filming, the production team explained the program and contents to the bereaved family and used the portrait, name, and date of birth with written consent.

However, I belatedly learned that some of the bereaved families and relatives received the prior consent process only after the broadcast, adding, "I will continue to explain and resolve misunderstandings." I will humbly accept many people's points and try to gain understanding and empathy from both the viewers and the parties. I sincerely apologize to the injured bereaved family and fellow firefighters," he said.

Meanwhile, in the second episode of "Fate War 49," 49 doomsayers appeared and conducted a mission to guess the background of the death based on the deceased's owner. Among them, the story of the late firefighter Kim Chul-hong, who died in the 2001 arson attack in Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, appeared as a mission. Since then, the controversy has grown as the nephew of the deceased appeared and posted a message to the effect that he lacked sufficient explanation for the broadcast, and the Fire Officials' Union (Fire Workers' Union) pointed out, "Apart from the consent of the bereaved family, it is also necessary to clearly check whether the consent was made with the program's format and specific directing method sufficiently explained," adding, "We urge the broadcaster to come up with specific measures to prevent recurrence as well as responsible explanations and progressive apologies."

"Fate War 49" started with the question of whether one can read one's destiny. For the purpose of the program, various lives and deaths will be introduced, so I wanted to use it as an opportunity to reflect on the meaningful and sublime story. This is why I chose Kim's story.

Before filming, I explained to the bereaved family that the program was a survival program featuring fortune tellers and highlighted the fate of the deceased through the owner, and used portraits, names, and dates of birth with the written consent of the family. At the filming site, we held a moment of silence in honor of the deceased and prayed for the rest of our lives.

I learned later that some of the bereaved families and relatives received the prior consent process only after the broadcast. We will continue to explain and resolve any misunderstandings. I will humbly accept many people's comments and try to gain understanding and empathy from both the viewers and the parties. I sincerely apologize to the injured bereaved family and fellow firefighters.
