The panelists’ reactions to Mina Sue’s behavior became a hot topic. Did it hurt you watching those?
I didn’t purposely look them up, but I saw some clips and media coverage. I think it’s better not to watch too much since I know about it.
Many are curious about the behind-the-scenes of the Single’s Inferno 5 wrap party and the meeting with Hong Jin Kyung.
I wasn’t hurt even if the panelists spoke harshly. Of course, if I saw it constantly and it was ingrained in my head, it would hurt more, but the panelists’ honest reactions helped viewers relate. Even I acted strangely at times (laughs). I think their comments were justified. I’m actually glad they wrapped it up well.

The “apology photo” with Hong Jin Kyung also made headlines.
Actually, it was my first time attending such a wrap party. While eating, senior Hong Jin Kyung cheerfully approached me, apologized on the spot, and suggested taking a photo together. I really appreciated her lighthearted way of smoothing things over.
Did Hong Jin Kyung suggest the concept for the “apology photo?”
Yes. At first, I worried, “What if I get criticized even more because of this photo?” Thankfully, she handled it professionally, so I’m very thankful. Actually, the panelists apologized to all the cast members. On our side, we felt grateful. It was a very warm moment.
