On November 16, Mnet relayed, "The production crew and Shin Ye Young are talking things out. The misunderstanding between the production crew and Shin Ye Young will be resolved through communication. What the professor said to Shin Ye Young may have been hard for her to discern as truth as an audition participant," referencing what Shin Ye Young had written on her Facebook, and added, "But after checking with the production crew, what the professor said was false. We will work with Shin Ye Young to determine the truth and discuss the proper recourse. If need be, we will consider taking legal action.
"Superstar K's filming progresses as a program with a realistic element. There were no forcible filming but we deeply regret not being more considerate of Shin Ye Young's struggles adjusting to the filming environment. We will try our best to resolve this issue quickly."
