Ok-soon (pseudonym) from Season 31 of ENA and SBS Plus's 'I Am Solo' has addressed the controversy surrounding the so-called 'Girls' Talk' group chat involving Sun-ja, releasing screenshots of the group chat and her apology messages.
On June 3, Ok-soon shared on her social media, "The 'Girls' Talk' chatroom was created to make plans and coordinate schedules." She added, "Most of the actual conversations were about coordinating meeting dates and attendance, and the atmosphere was not one of excluding anyone or being rude."
Previously, Sun-ja had expressed her frustration during an 'I Am Solo' live broadcast, saying, "Even the name of the group chat, 'Girls' Talk,' didn't feel pleasant to me." She lamented, "There were continuous rude questions about my relationship with Kyung-soo, and I went through many difficult moments."
The released screenshots of the chatroom show the female cast members coordinating schedules and asking Sun-ja about her current status, with questions like, "Are you dating Kyung-soo oppa?" and "How did it go?"
Ok-soon also explained that she had attempted to apologize to Sun-ja multiple times. She stated, "After hearing about Sun-ja's interview before the broadcast, I immediately conveyed my apology. I continued to reach out to her after that, but did not receive a response."
She added, "I tried to apologize again at the live broadcast venue, but I felt it was a difficult situation to have a conversation, so I stepped back. I reached out to apologize again right after the broadcast."
Finally, Ok-soon apologized once more, saying, "I will act more carefully in the future. I am sincerely sorry to Sun-ja and the viewers."
