'Heart Signal 5' side has issued a statement regarding the controversy over a cast member's private life.

The production team of Channel A's variety program 'Heart Signal' Season 5 (hereinafter 'Heart Signal 5') announced an official statement on the 9th, saying, "We are currently verifying the facts regarding allegations involving some cast members. The production team is taking the matter seriously."

They further stated, "Regardless of the truth, we are carefully reviewing the broadcast direction for the cast involved. We sincerely apologize to our viewers for the concern caused."

Recently, a post titled "Failure of Moral Verification of Dating Reality Show Cast Members" was uploaded to an online community forum.

The author of the post claimed, "I am bringing this matter to public attention with the hope that secondary victimization caused by the cast member's appearance on the show will not be repeated, given the situation where a victim is suffering due to the hidden side of (dating reality show cast member) Mr./Ms. A deceiving viewers and the immoral actions of the perpetrator." The author further asserted, "Mr./Ms. A is a perpetrator and party to infidelity that led to the collapse of a family, and is also the defendant in a lawsuit for damages filed by the other party."

The post continued, "Mr./Ms. A has consistently denied the infidelity. Despite personally confirming clear evidence of physical intimacy, they showed no sign of even apologizing. Fearing that their ugly past would be exposed and harm their career, they hired a lawyer to send a letter containing various criminal complaints such as 'defamation' and 'insult' against the victim, attempting to silence the victim through secondary victimization."

The author also claimed that Mr./Ms. A engaged in an affair during the filming of the program, stating, "While already living as someone's partner, they pretended to be single on the dating reality show and performed 'dating acting.' This is a clear deception and mockery toward viewers, the cast, and the production team."

They further claimed, "Mr./Ms. A was clearly aware that the child of a married man had recently been born into the world. During the on-site filming, they spent time at the married man's residence early in the morning and then returned to the filming accommodation to continue their schedule, displaying a dualistic behavior."

The author also released a screenshot of a CCTV video showing a man and a woman engaging in physical intimacy inside an elevator. The author described Mr./Ms. A as a "beauty pageant contestant," and netizens speculated that Mr./Ms. A was a certain cast member currently appearing on 'Heart Signal 5' based on the shape of the suitcase captured in the CCTV video.

As the controversy erupted, Mr./Ms. A switched their channel content to private, and the man known as the partner in the affair also deactivated their SNS.

'Heart Signal 5' airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m.
