What is the truth behind the Shin Seung-yong violence controversy? Blog apology, disparagement of office workers

The truth behind the violence controversy surrounding Shin Seung-yong in Blood Game X! We have summarized everything for you in an easy-to-understand format, from the full story of Seo Chul-gu and Heo Seong-beom's injuries to the clarification of his derogatory remarks about office workers in his blog apology, and even the core of the controversy.

 

1. Blood Game X Episode 5, What on Earth Happened at the Scene?

The controversy started with the 'Day of Plunder' mission! A harsh rule was given allowing the use of force for 60 minutes.

The problem is that Shin Seung-yong, a contestant from the internal team, used excessive physical force against the external team contestants while escaping with the money bag.

 

Not only did he injure Seo Chul-gu's hand, but he also engaged in a fierce physical struggle with female cast members Park Ji-min and Lee Sang-min, sparking criticism among viewers asking, "Even though it is just a game, didn't he cross the line too much?"

Furthermore, Seo Chul-gu confessed that he suffered a panic attack for the first time in his life after the broadcast, which deeply saddened the fans. He sustained injuries so severe that the on-site team doctor recommended stopping the mission, and Heo Seong-beom was also said to have had his flesh and clothes torn, leaving scars on his neck and face.

2. Release of Shin Seung-yong's Blog Apology and Explanation

As the controversy intensified immediately after the broadcast, Mr. Shin Seung-yong posted a long apology on his personal blog on the 25th.

 

He revealed that he personally called Seo Chul-gu, Park Ji-min, and Lee Sang-min to apologize, stating that he felt his appearance on the broadcast was terrible and that the violent parts cannot be justified by any excuse!

 

He explained that he acted excessively because he misunderstood that Seo Chul-gu had already stolen what he was supposed to protect when Seo hid his bag of belongings. He stated that his personal standard was to avoid pushing Seo's face, but he sustained an injury while using force, and promised to take full responsibility and cover Seo's medical expenses to the end.

3. Why did the controversy over 'disparaging office workers' in the apology arise?

It was a blog post intended to convey a sincere apology, but instead, it sparked another controversy! This was due to a specific sentence written within the apology.

 

"For office workers or those working indoors, even if they sustain some degree of injury, it may cause inconvenience in daily life but will not affect their livelihood. However, for those whose main profession is broadcasting, I felt extremely sorry, thinking that even a simple cut could cause problems with other filming."

 

Many netizens who saw this content said, "Are you implying that office workers can still work even if they get injured?", "You are making a fuss by using unnecessary words," and "You are too incoherent and beating around the bush." ...expressed regret.

In a situation that was already sensitive due to the excessive use of physical force, the addition of a nuance that seemed to compare occupational groups led to criticism in the community that "the apology was not sincere enough."

4. Cast Reactions and Key Points of the Controversy

Following Mr. Shin Seung-yong's apology, other injured cast members also released statements via Instagram.

Seo Chul-gu's statement: "I believe the injury on that day was a kind of accident rather than malicious," but he confessed that it was difficult to bear being misunderstood because the truly dangerous situations at the scene, such as the glass railings and narrow stairs, as well as the efforts to prevent the accident, were largely omitted in the broadcast editing.

 

Heo Seong-beom's statement: "While it is understandable to get overly immersed due to the nature of a bloody game, I was disappointed by the lukewarm response following the injury," he said, expressing his honest feelings and hoping that the hostility of the injured cast members would not appear excessive on the broadcast.

 

Ultimately, the truth behind this controversy can be seen as an incident that went beyond mere individual violence, resulting from a complex interplay of a dangerous filming environment lacking safety measures, the production team's rule allowing physical force, and sensationalized editing.
