Broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung was captured in a scene that seems to show her politely apologizing to the hot topic participant Choi Mina-soo from Netflix's original variety show 'Solo Hell 5', drawing attention.
On the 12th, Hong Jin-kyung posted a short message saying "Solo Hell 5 Real-time Company Dinner" along with photos from the dinner on her SNS. In the released photos, Hong Jin-kyung is seen in a posture that seems to bow her head with both hands neatly together in front of Choi Mina-soo, which brought smiles to viewers.
This is interpreted as an apology for Hong Jin-kyung's unfiltered reactions shown in the previous broadcast. As a panelist, she expressed her candid thoughts while watching Choi Mina-soo's bold actions, saying "Stop it", "It's painful to watch now", which resonated greatly with viewers. At that time, Hong Jin-kyung also revealed that she was called by the production team during the broadcast to receive training for her comments.
At this company dinner, Hong Jin-kyung seems to have playfully expressed her regret for the harsh words she had said during the show. In the photos released after her apologetic demeanor, the two are seen standing side by side, giving a thumbs up and smiling brightly, suggesting that they cleared up misunderstandings and maintained a cheerful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, 'Solo Hell 5' is a reality program that depicts the romance of singles in a hell where they can only escape by becoming a couple. Participant Choi Mina-soo has gained explosive attention, showcasing her unique presence and ranking first in participant popularity for two consecutive weeks right after the broadcast.
