AOA's Jimin and Seolhyun have already made apologies, and producers of the OnStyle show have now revealed their own regrets about the situation. On May 13, reps took responsibility for the controversy, stating, "We're apologizing to the viewers for episode 4 of 'Channel AOA'. This was obviously the producers' mistake, and we're sorry for causing so many people worry."

They added, "We have apologetic hearts as it seems AOA have also been hurt. We promise to produce with more careful consideration in the future." Producers further explained Seolhyun and Jimin had to complete the quiz under a time constraint and that staff should have been more careful as the quizzes touched on important historical figures.

The episode in question was also made unavailable on the show's official streaming site.
