In response, the production team confirmed on May 26 through an official comment that "we have belatedly confirmed that Hyunjin's photo was used" and explained the circumstances, stating, "In the process of utilizing photos stored on the device used by the victim while alive, we mistakenly inserted Hyunjin's childhood photo, thinking it was the victim's photo."

The production team also announced that they would correct or remove the problematic broadcast segments, YouTube clips, and rewatch services.
