'I Am Solo' 31st Group Member Jung Hee spoke out regarding the 'gossip controversy'.

On the 30th, Jung Hee posted a lengthy message on her Instagram, beginning with, "Although my time in the 'Solo Nation' ends with this week's broadcast, I am aware that the hurt I caused Soonja does not end just because the broadcast has ended."

Jung Hee stated, "I did not fully consider at the time how the feeling of being left out of the laughter and conversations heard within the confined space we shared accumulated day by day," and bowed her head, adding, "There is no excuse, in any form, for speaking about Soonja in a way that Soonja could hear."

She further reflected, "I believe the loneliness and humiliation Soonja must have felt is a weight that no further words I say can make light."

She continued, "My participation in pushing one person out of the group was a violation of the most basic promise of this program. The fact that I acted with others does not diminish my share of responsibility, and I take responsibility only for my own actions and offer my apology."

She also added, "Soonja has already offered a direct apology, and I am fully aware that the fact that Soonja accepted an apology does not mean the wound has immediately healed or that I have earned the right to be forgiven."

She then pledged, "How long it will take for Soonja to feel at ease, or whether she will ever forgive me, is entirely up to Soonja. I will not forget and will remain sorry. Even when time passes and this incident fades from memory, I will not treat what happened that day in that place lightly or dismiss it as 'just a thing of the past.'"

Previously, in the SBS Plus and ENA variety program 'I Am SOLO', Jung Hee was swept up in the 'gossip controversy' after discussing Soonja, who showed interest in Gyeong-su, alongside Ok-soon and Young-sook. Some viewers criticized the three for not showing consideration for Soonja, calling them the "real-life version of the 'Glory' trio" and raising voices of condemnation.
