The web entertainment show ‘Nego King’ has officially apologized for the controversy over sexual harassment of a non-celebrity guest.

Dallas Studio said on the 3rd, “We sincerely apologize to the citizens and subscribers who felt uncomfortable due to some inappropriate expressions during the citizen interview in Episode 1 of ‘Nego King’ Season 7”,” and added, “We value your opinions, and the scene in question is in the process of being edited out. We will be more careful in production in the future.”

On the 27th of last month, the YouTube channel ‘Dallas Studio’ uploaded the video ‘[Nego King] Ep. 1 Ice Cream Negotiation That Crazily Shoveled Out to ‘Pawn Your Heart’ Once More’.

The problem is the interview process in the video. During an interview with a couple, Kim Won-hoon asked, “Where are you going?” When the man replied, “I‘m going to Seolleung Station to play,” Kim Won-hoon responded, “Isn’t this a motel district?” and “The way you‘re walking... You went home yesterday, right?”


The man was flustered and tried to explain, “We just got out,” but Kim Won-hoon asked back, “Where did you just get out from?” He also pointed to the corner of the man’s mouth and made a suggestive ad-lib, “There‘s a lipstick mark here...”

This interview sparked a sexual harassment controversy. The production team issued an official apology.


● Here is the official statement

Hello, this is Dallas Studio. We sincerely apologize to the citizens and subscribers who felt uncomfortable due to some inappropriate expressions during the citizen interview in Episode 1. We value your opinions and are currently editing the scene in question. We will be more careful in production in the future.
