Ok-soon explained her decision to close her social media accounts, stating, "I can handle the negative comments directed at me, but they have also targeted my friends. That’s why I decided to shut down my SNS."
She expressed her distress, saying, "It’s okay for people to criticize me, but please don’t talk about my family or friends."
Regarding the controversy over her name change, Ok-soon clarified, "I never liked my original name. I didn’t change it to hide my past; I changed it because there are many administrative procedures for a flight attendant, like obtaining a U.S. visa and passport. I informed my parents and changed my name after leaving the company when I had more time."
She added, "I don’t participate in community discussions, but my friends have been very supportive, feeling sorry for me. Many of the claims made on anonymous boards are not true."
Ok-soon also denied rumors that she left her job to get married, stating, "That’s not true. I am very ambitious about my career."
She specifically addressed her breakup with Young-ho, the final couple from the show, saying, "After filming, Young-ho and I were dating well, but I had to go abroad for personal reasons, and we broke up early in the broadcast. The rumors about marriage, pregnancy, and meeting his parents are all false; I have never met his parents, and there was no opposition from them."
Previously, the show had sparked controversy when Ok-soon, Jeong-hee, and Young-sook appeared to ostracize or gossip about Soon-ja.
