Lee Do, a social studies instructor affiliated with Etoos, apologized over the controversy of pushing through variety show activities while neglecting his primary duties just before the CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test).

On the 10th, Lee Do posted a handwritten apology on his Instagram in the afternoon. He bowed his head, saying, "I sincerely apologize to all the students who trusted and joined me this year for the Korean Geography and World Geography curriculum."

He continued, "With three weeks left until the CSAT, I informed you that I would not be able to conduct the remaining lectures. I disrupted your plans at the most critical time, and for the second consecutive year following last year, I failed to take responsibility for the curriculum through to the end. This is my fault without room for excuse."

Lee Do pointed out his mistake, stating, "Above all, I was irresponsible. I had known for a long time that I was not in good health. Nevertheless, I told you that I would stay with you until the end, and I postponed the decision thinking I could hold on to the very last moment. If I had been honest with you earlier, you would have had time to prepare using other lectures or materials. It was not my health, but my judgment, that stole that time from you."

He also mentioned his appearance in Netflix's "Devil's Plan: Dead Again" (hereinafter referred to as "Devil's Plan 3") and the opening of a personal YouTube channel while leaving lectures behind. Lee Do reflected, "Immediately after that, I attended the press conference for 'Devil's Plan 3' and announced the launch of my YouTube channel. It appeared that I prioritized other activities without completing what I needed to finish as an instructor. I can fully imagine how disappointing that must have been for you, who had to endure the remaining time on your own."

Ultimately, Lee Do declared a suspension of his activities. He conveyed, "From now on, I will only promise lectures when I can take responsibility for them through to the end. Until my health recovers, I will suspend broadcasting and personal content activities, and take time to reflect on my responsibilities as an instructor and my judgments thus far. Regarding programs already contracted, I would like to inform you in advance that some broadcast schedules remain. For this part as well, rather than seeking broad understanding, I will approach it with a cautious and responsible attitude. Once again, I deeply apologize."

Meanwhile, Lee Do is a graduate of the Department of Geography Education at the College of Education, Seoul National University. He became known to the public by appearing in Season 1 of Netflix's dating reality variety show "I'm Born Solo but Want Love" (Moso Raenae), which was released last year.

Hello, this is Lee Do.

I sincerely apologize to all the students who trusted and joined me this year for the Korean Geography and World Geography curriculum.

With three weeks left until the CSAT, I informed you that I would not be able to conduct the remaining lectures. I disrupted your plans at the most critical time, and for the second consecutive year following last year, I failed to take responsibility for the curriculum through to the end. This is my fault without room for excuse.

Above all, I was irresponsible. I had known for a long time that I was not in good health. Nevertheless, I told you that I would stay with you until the end, and I postponed the decision thinking I could hold on to the very last moment. If I had been honest with you earlier, you would have had time to prepare using other lectures or materials. It was not my health, but my judgment, that stole that time from you.

Immediately after that, I attended the press conference and announced the launch of my YouTube channel. It appeared that I prioritized other activities without completing what I needed to finish as an instructor. I can fully imagine how disappointing that must have been for you, who had to endure the remaining time on your own.

From now on, I will only promise lectures when I can take responsibility for them through to the end. Until my health recovers, I will suspend broadcasting and personal content activities, and take time to reflect on my responsibilities as an instructor and my judgments thus far. Regarding programs already contracted, I would like to inform you in advance that some broadcast schedules remain. For this part as well, rather than seeking broad understanding, I will approach it with a cautious and responsible attitude.

Once again, I deeply apologize.

Sincerely, Lee Do
