SOURCE: ‘합숙 맞선’ 상간녀 의혹女, 법적대응 경고했는데 제작진에 손배소 위기
A contestant on SBS' 'Match to Marry' is being accused of having an affair with a married man. While she announced plans for legal action, attention is now focused on whether SBS might sue her for damages or not.
On a recent broadcast of JTBC's 'Crime Chief,' an informant claimed hat a woman who had an affair with her ex-husband is now starring in a dating show. That show was later identified as SBS' 'Match to Marry.'
Kim Taein, the woman that is named as the person of the affair allegations, posted on her social media on January 22, saying, "As incorrect information continues to spread and people are attacking me and my mother excessively, I'm releasing this statement after much deliberation."
Kim Taein claimed that the reports broadcasted by 'Crime Chief' were 'distorted and exaggerated.' She warned, "As excessive criticism continues and it's harming me and my mother mentally, my legal team will take action if hateful comments are not voluntarily deleted."
The production team of 'Match to Marry' stated, "To make sure viewers can watch the show comfortably, we have decided to completely remove her scenes from the remaining episodes." In the recent episodes, Kim Taein was almost entirely edited out and only appeared in wide shots.
In particular, the production team explained that they conducted pre-interview questionnaires and interviews while casting participants to make sure that there were no issues in the contestants' past or present backgrounds. They also noted that the consent form explicitly required contestants to state and guarantee that they hadn't been involved in crimes, drugs, adultery, school violence and similar matters. The contract also states that they have to pay penalties in the event of violations. As a result, the production team is now reportedly considering a lawsuit against Kim Taein.
