The side of 'Lee Sang-jun Show' issued a statement regarding the sound controversy at the Los Angeles (LA) performance in the United States, appealing to "stop personal attacks based on unconfirmed information."

Hwang In-hee PD of 'Lee Sang-jun Show' announced through an official statement on the 6th that "there are parts reported differently from the facts or where only some content was highlighted regarding the recent LA performance, so we will provide accurate factual information on the main issues."

PD Hwang acknowledged that there were sound problems in certain specific seats. He stated, "Despite conducting on-site rehearsals and sound checks before the performance, it was confirmed after the show ended that there were sound problems in some specific seats," adding, "The production team and the local organizer are taking this matter very seriously for not being able to check the issue more meticulously beforehand."

He continued, "We are currently proceeding with follow-up measures such as apologies and refunds," and promised, "In the remaining performances, we will inspect the sound status of all seating areas and seats adjacent to speakers even more closely."

However, the production team drew a line stating that this controversy was a problem arising from venue facilities and on-site technical operations, and shifting responsibility to Lee Sang-jun personally is not in line with the facts.

PD Hwang emphasized, "This sound issue is an incident that occurred during venue facility and on-site technical operation processes, and has nothing to do with comedian Lee Sang-jun's attitude or performance execution."

He further said, "For over a year, Mr. Lee Sang-jun has prepared 'Lee Sang-jun Show' together without being late even once for meetings, filming, or performances, preparing the show with a more sincere and serious attitude than anyone else," and added, "We request that you stop shifting responsibility to the individual performer regarding this matter or continuing personal attacks based on unconfirmed information."

He also expressed regret over some media reporting methods.

PD Hwang pointed out, "We deeply regret that some media outlets expanded coverage of the issue by citing personal SNS posts and reactions without verifying facts with the production team and organizer," noting that "personal SNS claims can be a starting point for reporting but cannot replace fact-checking."

Finally, he stated, "We will always humbly accept criticism and raise issues. We will not ignore the opinions of audience members who actually experienced inconvenience and will confirm them to make improvements," while also clarifying that "regarding acts spreading unconfirmed information as facts or re-disseminating insults and false statements directed at the individual performer, we are collecting relevant materials and plan to respond in principle after future legal review."

He added, "'Lee Sang-jun Show' is a program created to bring laughter and joy to you all," stating that "through this incident, we will certainly improve our shortcomings, but we will not be shaken by baseless criticism and distortion, and will responsibly continue the remaining performances."

A fan who read the apology commented via a reply, "An apology should only apologize. If it carries the title 'Lee Sang-jun Show', it should show an attitude of taking responsibility accordingly," and pointed out, "I do not want to be compared to Conan O'Brien."

In response, Lee Sang-jun said, "If it's an apology, just apologize; why so much talk? It seems it isn't an apology. He hasn't reflected... Let's go somewhere else and spread this around, my friend. Compared to Conan? No, let's not say that. They probably don't know what Conan O'Brien is. Let us endure," he replied.

He further added, "But we didn't read the post below. Since they kept talking even though an apology was posted below, it seems another post was uploaded."

Previously, Lee Sang-jun took the stage for a stand-up comedy performance in LA on the 2nd. However, many netizens harshly criticized that they paid approximately 210,000 won to Hanwha to watch the performance, but the sound system was a mess and the performance quality was poor.

Lee Sang-jun stated on his SNS, "I have been joking half-seriously during performances for the past two months, saying that because it is growing too fast, we will soon go to hell. I thought something like this would happen at least once, so right now I am not actually that hurt," and added, "I plan to collect your reviews and comments and make this into comedy as well. Because of my age, I have no time to be frustrated."
