The production team of "Solo Hell 5" delivered their thoughts on the controversy over the "MC Hong Jin-kyung Evaluation" of basketball player Lee Kwan-hee, a cast member of the previous season.

Producer Kim Jae-won, Kim Jung-hyun, and Park Soo-ji of the global OTT Netflix love reality entertainment show "Solo Hell 5" held an interview with Star News at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 13th.

"Solo Hell 5" posted the highest record in the series on the 10th of this month, showing off the dignity of the end and legend dating reality. The season saw 3.1 million viewers (view time divided by the total running time of the work/from Feb. 2 to Feb. 8) and 45.1 million viewers, ranking second in the global top 10 non-English language shows category for the third consecutive week. On top of that, it ranked No. 1 in Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, and was listed on the top 10 list in 18 countries, including Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, capturing the hearts of viewers around the world.

However, he was struck by unexpected noise in the hot topic of the program. Season 4 cast member Lee Kwan-hee drew controversy for making rude remarks about MC Hong Jin-kyung, saying he would review "Solo Hell 5." He was recently criticized for saying, "I don't think (Hong) Jin-kyung knows much about dating, but I'm angry that she's teaching love over there." In the end, Hong Jin-kyung delivered Lee Kwan-hee's apology on SNS instead, and it was ended with happening.

In response, producer Kim Jae-won of "Solo Hell 5" also pointed out, "Lee Kwan-hee made a mistake."

Even so, he said, "However, I think Lee Kwan-hee didn't say it with a bad intention, but he crossed the line while being greedy to be funny. After that, I contacted (Hong) Jin-kyung and apologized, and Jin-kyung, a big-time senior, accepted the apology coolly."

Producer Kim Jae-won said, "Our production team has also been contacted (from Lee Kwan-hee). He said, "I'm sorry to bother you." "No, thanks to you, I think I became more popular. Thank you." He said that. It's already past, and I think Lee Kwan-hee will feel something about this. I think I've grown a little more," he said.

In addition, when asked about Hong Jin-kyung as a host, PD Kim Jae-won said, "I think it is an advantage to represent the most common emotion. I think it's really great to pinpoint the emotions that most viewers feel and show them without filtering, whether it's facial expressions or words. Isn't that the vibe from "Jjam". Our production team is also watching with admiration. I really respect you as a broadcaster, a senior, and an adult."
