Writer So Jae-won expressed frustration over claims that she made abusive remarks toward actor Lee Jun-young.

Recently, the writer posted on her social media: "The person who said such things to Lee Jun-young is not me. It is true that Lee Jun-young appeared in my work. My work was from 2018, and at that time, Lee Jun-young was just beginning his acting career, so I believe I became the target."

She also shared a preview of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" featuring Lee Jun-young. In the preview, Lee, an actor who started as an idol, mentioned past hurtful experiences and said, "'Don't harm actors' was the most painful remark."

After the preview was released, Writer So Jae-won was identified as the person who made the remarks. This is because she wrote the script for the drama "Love Has Left," in which Lee Jun-young starred.

In response, the writer clarified: "It wasn't me. I have never hurt any actor with such low-class words even once. Sending DMs filled with insults based on assumptions is extremely reckless."

She continued, "Even at the final party after our work ended, I told Lee Jun-young, 'I guarantee that fans will remember you as an actor rather than a singer.' I have always recognized, respected, and admired his efforts and passion. I shared this story honestly. If my account is not true, the actor or his company can respond accordingly." She expressed her sense of injustice.

She further emphasized, "As a writer who is far from perfect, I would never even utter such words."

Writer So Jae-won is the original author of films including "Beastie Boys," "Wish," "Tunnel," and "Air Murder."
