'I Am a Single' production team has issued a statement amid the spread of attack posts related to a single participant.

On the 17th, ENA and SBS Plus variety program 'I Am a Single' told StarNews regarding the controversy over attack posts on participants, "There is no internal confirmation."

'I Am a Single' is currently airing its 32nd batch of special episodes for singles, and recently, an attack post by a netizen claiming to be a former spouse of a past participant has surfaced, causing an uproar.

The netizen claimed, "They say 'I Am a Single' is a sincere program, but does that mean lies told by participants just become facts?" and added, "Legal proceedings, including criminal and civil lawsuits and divorce litigation, were conducted against the other party, who maliciously dragged out the case all the way to the second instance."

Continuing, the netizen expressed anger, saying, "Seeing them manage their image by claiming it was a consensual divorce on the broadcast makes me furious."

They further added, "Although I have tried to stay out of the spotlight, every time the algorithm pushes up the video, memories of things I endured during my marriage come flooding back. I want to expose everything, but I'm not sure if that's a wise choice. I thought they would just correct the false parts and apologize, but that's not the kind of person they are."

However, no specific batch number or participant's real name was mentioned, and the authenticity of the content remains unverified. In response, the 'I Am a Single' side drew a line by stating, "There is no confirmation."

'I Am a Single' continues to face controversies involving its participants. In the recently aired 31st batch, a controversy over the ostracism of a participant named Sun-ja by Ok-soon, Young-sook, and Jung-hee drew public outrage from viewers.

In addition, participants have faced scandals involving the exposure of their private lives, as well as allegations of assault and attempted rape. As participant-related risks persist, demands for reforms such as improvements to the pre-screening system continue to be made.
