Actor Byun Woo-seok will appear at a formal event amid the controversy surrounding '21st Century Grand Duchess'.

Byun Woo-seok will attend the production presentation for Netflix's new variety show 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' as a fixed member on the morning of the 19th. He is scheduled to sit alongside PDs Jeong Hyo-min and Lee So-min, main MC Yoo Jae-suk, and actors Lee Kwang-soo and Ji Ye-eun to share behind-the-scenes stories.

'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' is a group camp variety show where rookie camp leader Yoo Jae-suk, unpredictable staff members Lee Kwang-soo, Byun Woo-seok, and Ji Ye-eun chat, play, and boast with guests to complete an escape from daily life.

Notably, 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' is drawing significant attention as Byun Woo-seok's first fixed variety show debut.

However, coincidentally, the formal event comes right after Byun Woo-seok issued an apology regarding the controversy surrounding the MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', drawing even more intense interest in this production presentation.

'21st Century Grand Duchess' is facing public backlash over historical distortion and factual errors. In response, Byun Woo-seok posted an apology on his personal Instagram account on the 18th as the lead actor. He stated, "I lacked sufficient consideration regarding the historical context and meaning embedded in the work during the filming and acting process, and how it might be received by viewers. Through the comments from viewers, I have reflected and repented, and I have once again deeply realized that as an actor, I need to look at not only the acting but also the message and context of the work with greater responsibility. I sincerely apologize." He bowed his head.

Meanwhile, on the 19th, '21st Century Grand Duchess' director Park Jun-hwa is scheduled to proceed with a media interview as planned.
