Actor Byun Woo-seok publicly apologized regarding the historical distortion controversy surrounding '21st Century Grand Duchess'.

On the morning of the 19th, a production presentation for the new OTT Netflix variety show 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' was held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Co-PDs Jeong Hyo-min, Lee So-min, and Hwang Yoon-seo, along with fixed cast members Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Kwang-soo, Byun Woo-seok, and Ji Ye-eun, attended the event.

Regarding his choice of 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' as his first fixed variety show, Byun Woo-seok stated, "I had met senior Yoo Jae-suk a few times previously in variety shows. Looking back, the variety shows I did with him were so enjoyable, which made me want to try working together. In fact, fans really enjoy seeing my daily life. I thought 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' would be a good variety show to showcase that side of me. Although I feel both scared and excited, I decided I should just try it."

Especially, as the current MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' is engulfed in a historical distortion controversy, Byun Woo-seok conveyed his apology directly as the lead actor. He had also released an apology statement on his official Instagram on the 18th.

Regarding the drama issue, Byun Woo-seok bowed his head, saying, "I am truly sorry about the drama issue."

Concerning whether he felt any burden about presenting 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp', Byun Woo-seok calmly remarked, "In fact, the way I live my life is to 'do my best' at every moment. With that mindset, I did my best for 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp'. That effort alone was my best."

'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' is a group camp variety show where 'novice camp leader' Yoo Jae-suk and unpredictable 'staff' members Lee Kwang-soo, Byun Woo-seok, and Ji Ye-eun chat, play, and tease with guests to complete a daily life escape. It will be available exclusively on Netflix starting the 26th.
