With Disney+ survival entertainment show "Fate War 49" causing a stir over the controversy over desecration of firefighters on duty, the production team and the bereaved family of firefighters on duty are in talks for a smooth settlement.
According to a report by Star News on the 2nd, the production team of "Fate War 49" met with the bereaved families of the late Kim Chul-hong firefighter and the fire union last week. Currently, the two sides are reportedly continuing to discuss apologies and follow-up measures. It is interpreted as a measure to prevent the spread of the situation, as the production team officially apologized for the controversy over the desecration of the late firefighter Kim Chul-hong and announced a plan to re-edit the related filming.
Mr. A, who earlier said he was the nephew of the late fireman Kim Chul-hong, expressed his feelings on his personal SNS. He said, "February this year was a very heartbreaking time for my family. It took so much time and stress to say the wrong thing and correct it. "Despite the damage, the reality that I was doing my own town hall and asking for your understanding was so painful and difficult," he said.
"We should live with more interest so that the sacrifices of all those who died while working for the country will not be further disparaged. If this had not ended properly and remained a bad precedent, I would have lived with a big stone block on my mind for the rest of my life, but I think I can relieve a little of the burden on my mind after this is resolved," he said.
Mr. A also said, "I would like to express my gratitude to all those who spoke out and cared for my youngest uncle and his family," adding, "I'm so grateful and grateful that I can't express myself in words because I know so well that I couldn't do anything if it was my own voice."
There seems to have been a misunderstanding of some claims that they "under the guise of documentary production." A previously claimed, "I asked for consent to use photographs, saying I was producing a program to honor people of national merit, but I made a program to mock my uncle's death," but this was said to be a misunderstanding caused by confusion with the fact that the bereaved family received a documentary proposal from another production company at the same time.
In response, A said, "There are reports that he lied about making documentaries, but it is not true," and corrected, "I apologize for the inconvenience caused to many people due to misunderstanding in many ways."
Immediately after the release of "Fate War 49," a mission appeared in which shamans answered the cause of death using the information of the deceased as a clue, sparking controversy. In particular, the name of the late firefighter Kim Chul-hong, who died at the scene of the fire in Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul in 2001, was used in the mission, causing a strong backlash from bereaved families and fire unions.
He was also criticized for referring to the sacrifice of the late police chief Lee Jae-hyun, who was stabbed while arresting a suspect in a violent crime in 2004, as an inappropriate expression.
As the controversy spread, the production team said, "We have listened to the bereaved families and other officials," and added, "We accepted the intention and decided to re-edit the part." "Once again, I would like to express my deepest apologies to the bereaved families, fire and police officials, and viewers who were hurt by our tribe and disloyalty. We will carry out and strengthen the production process with the opinions you have given us so far," he said.
In addition, he added, "We honor the noble sacrifices of the late Fire Chief Kim Chul-hong and the late Chief Lee Jae-hyun, and thank the fire and police officials who are still committed to the safety of the people."
Meanwhile, "Fate War 49" is a survival entertainment in which 49 doomsayers compete for their abilities through various missions. Broadcasters Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Na-rae, Kang Ji-young, actor Park Ha-sun, and group Super Junior member Shin Dong are on the panel.
