The production team issued an apology as well, stating, "Because we had to procure a filming location quickly, we turned to Park Myung Soo's brother's business for help and got the permission to film there. We didn't have any intention to promote the wig shop, and didn't believe that there would be any sort of publicity arising from the broadcast content. As we were more focused on content, we failed to be more mindful of the filming locations, for which we sincerely apologize."�
