T1 Entertainment then continued their statement by saying that they will provide guidance to Jeon Jin Seo and request understanding from many people regarding his past behavior.

We assure you that this incident will not happen again. Therefore, please understand that Jeon Jin Seo is only 15 years old (in the Korean age system). We kindly ask you not to make negative comments about his childish mistakes. We apologize to the production team of THE WORLD OF THE MARRIED for causing controversy."
