Key's agency, SM Entertainment, released an official statement on the 17th, "Key first met him as a doctor after visiting a hospital in Gangnam-gu where Mr. Lee (Jusaimo) works on a recommendation from an acquaintance. Key has continued to receive treatment at that hospital since then, and recently, when visiting the hospital was difficult, he had several consultations at home." They continued, "This is because we knew Mr. Lee was a doctor, and he had not mentioned it much, so we did not expect that receiving treatment at home would be problematic. It was something I couldn't handle," he explained, ,,, "Recently, due to the medical license controversy involving Mr. Lee, he realized for the first time that he is not a doctor and is very confused, and he deeply reflects on his own ignorance." He continued, "Therefore, Key has decided to step down from his scheduled schedule and the programs he is currently appearing in," and added, "Once again, I sincerely apologize  for causing concern to all the fans." Key also explained in detail about the delay in announcing their position regarding the 'Jusaimo' controversy, saying, "First, we sincerely apologize for making it difficult to express our position quickly because communication with various stakeholders related to the overseas tour schedule and activities was necessary." Key also posted on his social media, "I sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people through various stories about me recently. I am also confused and flustered by newly learned facts, so I apologize for not being able to clarify my position more quickly and clarify what I will do going forward." Key's apology was said to be very different from the statement video Park Na-rae released on her YouTube channel on the 15th, and Park Na-rae released a 2-minute and 23-second statement on her YouTube channel. She released a statement and said, "There are some facts that need to be carefully verified regarding the issues currently raised, so legal proceedings are underway." This is the second statement since she announced her voluntary departure from the broadcast, but due to the suspicions and controversies that have spread over   time, There was no explanation or apology whatsoever. However, even though Key did apologize, he only spoke after 'completing all scheduled activities,,, and netizens are responding with comments of 'disgust.'
